Ronald Koeman discussion

[flibbyflob]

Love this Koeman side of late. He has got them playing better football than before christmas and they look a happy bunch. Been a long time since we could say that.

 

[TheAlmightyFloater]

To be 3-0 up at half time and then to allow them to claw their way back in like that is unacceptable and I guarantee Koeman is not happy.

Had it not been for a strong attacking display (special thanks to Lukaku and Barkley) we would have drawn with that lot - I have no doubt about that.

Not just on the players though, Koeman should have brought Barry off much sooner. As much as our defenders deserve a bollocking, Koeman needs to accept some responsibility for that.

I think he made the sub too late myself. Should have come long before their second goal. its not like most of us didnt see that coming.
other than that.. well played.

Exactly.

What the last manager who bought him and saw him become our best goalscorer in the three seasons he had him?

That one?

Yes, the one that had us finishing outside the top ten in successive seasons and had completely lost the dressing room.

As I said, the one that would have almost certainly seen us throw that game away!

If you want to talk about his signings I can always meet you in the Niasse thread?

We\re not looking for improvement mate, we're looking for success.

Which Koeman is trying to do and amend things within the club. No one had success since Royle won the FA Cup.

Needs to be better than 7th, that's the key.

Mini runs like this are all well and good. Doing it over 38 games - different prospect.

Well its a little hard to judge on that when hehasn't even had 38 games wouldn't you say?

That's him. The one who had us bottom half despite having the best goal scorer at Everton in years.

That one.

7 points off 2nd

Lol

 

[davek]

Yeah because nobody in world football had heard of Lukaku, just a good job Ba wasn't available when he phoned for him

Ha Ha Ha.

£27M = steal of the century. No one else made the move. It was brave and continues to pay off for us...until he leaves in the summer.

Still, we'll get £60M for the best signing of the past 30 years and he'll get his crack at CL footy which he wants I suppose.

Better than 7th in his first season?

Thats great. So we must be 3rd or 4th then? Oh no, still 7th.

No, next season.

Don't let the hate for Ronkster blind you of the truth David.

Your wumming is poor

Everyone is happy, Everton are on the up. 7 points off second
