Ronald Koeman discussion

[bcblue1878]

I see a side that's improving and really starting to click

A side that has taken 17 points out of the last 21.

A side who's scored 13 goals in the last 3 home games

I'm enjoying going to the match again after watching a side who could barely muster a performance at home for most of last season.

Shrug all you like mate, you patently don't enjoy watching Everton win games as much as I do.

It's not that long ago he admitted he preferred watching Klopp's lot more than watching Everton, that line of thinking seems to have gone a bit quiet of late - he must be hurting at the moment hence the reason for his increasingly bizarre posts!

Didn't he say the rs will win the title

Bournemouth in particular are extremely adept at turning round games late on.

As for how it'd have likely turned out last year, see the RS's game down there this season for details

Yeah Eddie Howe strikes me as a bit of a Martinez manager. Bournemouth keep the ball really well, and can score goals (highest scorers outside the top 7) but shocking at the back (47 conceded - 2 a game!)

Even in the first half, they kept the ball for minutes at a time, but it was slow and ponderous and did nothing with it. When we got it back we were direct and pacey, and they couldn't adjust to the change in tempo.

Or was it he hoped they would? Any way Koeman!!!!

If ever the phrase "bitter blue" was appropriate, I feel it was tailor made for one specific GOT poster lol

Koeman though eh lads!

 

[jinkyali]

He's an absolute abomination of a poster and I'd happily see him banned tbh.

No good putting him on ignore as 40% of posts are people replying to him.

Surely he comes across as a high maintenance poster?

I commented at the time that I didn't see that starting 11 coming, but I like that. Koeman looks at our opposition and sets us up in personnel/formation that he feels is best suited, and it didn't half work for the first 45 mins yesterday. Our front players, lukaku especially, were getting into acres of space and punished them. Having said that, I though were too deep defensively but they didn't take advantage.

At half time they switched it round pushed further up the pitch and looked more dangerous, we just needed to keep calm and keep doing what we had been, but they got a goal through a straight clip in between our 2 centre halves which should never ever happen. They got the confidence and got the 2nd but koeman switched formation and dominated them for the last 10/15.

Deadly going forward, must do better defensively, but I'm certain koeman will be livid with the goals we conceded and he'll do something about it.

7 points of 4th, next 2 games against boro and Sland. Season over my arse

I judged him lacking as a man not a manager...and I still dont like the feller. His capabilities as a coach are yet to be proven either way.

Do you socialize with him often?

What he really means when he says he's lacking as a man, is that he isn't a Catalan with a liking for brown brogues mate.

 

[Jreverton1]

Doing alright for me is Koeman, to even be near the top 4/6 must be an improvement on the last 2 seasons, regardless if he's a charismatic man or not, for me he's ruthless and seems to be getting results, that'll do

 

[jaycee]

I have found it difficult to warm to him as a person,but I doubt hes bothered by that,and to be honest neither am I,had my doubts with some of the football played at first,but its improving steadily,fitness seems a lot better and he has cleared a few waste of space players,so as long as it continues he can carry acting whatever way he feels is best for the club

 

[TommyDavo]

Things for me which have improved massively are fitness of all players and also tactical awareness with no fear in making a decision.
Still thing we need a dominant centre half, but all in all a massive improvement on the previous incumbent for me. At least now I can go the game with some hope of a positive result.

The sad think is i wear Brown shoes. I'm gonna have to get rid. I'm starting to use the word 'phenomenal '

Yes. Formby Hall golf course. He's always at the 19th hole by noon getting a pint of schnapps down him.
