Ronald Koeman discussion

[Connor]

Not from me, he won't.

Not if he sets up playing for a point, Tim.

I want to see us go out and have a go......even if we do get tanked at least I want to see a bit of attacking intent.

Damage limitation from the get go on Sunday. Won't be shocked to see a back 5, flat 4 in midfield and Calvert-Lewin by himself up top, 40 yards away from the nearest team mate.

Koeman should get 5 more games and I really hope he improves and get things moving in the right direction. The thing is if things don't improve we can't let it get as bad as it did at the end of Martinez's time here, if things don't improve another direction of manager appointment needs to be made, Unsworth would be my choice if not a British manager someone perhaps like Howe, but let's hope it doesn't come to that.

hes even worse, Bournemouth are a mess

I think in every interview Koeman stated we needed a striker and one, maybe two players would be coming in before the window closes.
I fail to see why it is his fault that the board did not back him with a striker ...........
Bill and co couldn`t wait get the Lukaku cash, and Roms comments when asked about staying for the `project` were he said `that is not an option` become clearer every day, perhaps Koeman should employ Lukaku`s agent as he does not seem to fall for the bullsh**

Just because what you asked for didn't come to fruition you should still be able to have SOME sort of an idea of how you want to set up your team. In the Spurs and Chelsea matches a lot of people were commenting that it seemed he was setting up his team as if he had a target man up front even tho none were there. He's paid EXTREMELY well to have an alternative idea of how to play. We are going to be without the striker he asked for for 4 months. Do we just say 'nah, he's fine, he didn't get the striker he wanted' every single time we play absolutely rubbish?

A free pass in that I fully expect a drubbing. A gutless performance should still be criticised.

4 home wins on the spin is all that will suffice afterwards tho. Anything less is not acceptable.

If this carry's on against Bournemouth and Burnley he has to go.

We'll probably beat Bournemouth and Burnley mate, lads will come on here talking about top 4 again, and how boss Koeman was as a player for Barca, etc.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Well it depends on your definition.
I'd be fine with fine if fine is 7th.

Im sick of 7th and midtable dribble. No cups. Mid table. I might as well support wba. Are we on a par with wba?? In reality yes. I demand more from everton.this dribble im watching and having average players like jags/ baines/ williams in our defense and the likes if having a bang average young lad dcl leading our attack. Rubbish. I might as well switch off in october every year. In this case this year in september.

Thank you Connor

You have made my mind up.

I am on vacation in Portugal right now and I was going to go down the pub to watch the game.

No flipping way now.....because what you say will most likely come to pass

 

[willo30]

Hell get until the Burnley game. International break would be the ideal time to sort it if it doesn't improve.

If you're going to the bar to watch the match make sure you've had a few before kick-off.

Wah wah wah.....the reason we are where we are is that the teams above us spend a lot more money than us and have better players.

We have had a load new players, at least give them a chance to bed in.

Yes it is not nice to see, yes we have to go through some pain sometimes, but I predict the panic will soon be over.

Hmmm.
Well City spend 100m+ on full backs mate. On full backs.
Utd's record signing is 90m.
Chelsea have spent millions every season for the past 15 years.
Leicester were the exception to the rule.
So if you don't want to be 6th or 7th, I would switch it off, yes mate.

 

[jinkyali]

Klaassen was his too. I like him but he was a Koeman signing.

Probably.
Its just complicated by the signing of Rooney really.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Funny thing is, it's the Everton way that we'll probably go and beat the Mancs Sunday.

 

[jinkyali]

Me thinks hes saving face with fans and squad.

Ya my whole point all summer. I knew this would happen. From expecting to invest 100 million when mosh arrived to 3 windows later we would have made a profit if barkley was sold that last hour.3 weeks into the season and out expectations have dropped all of a sudden.People calling out the bedwetters. But the bedwetters knew the problems that lay ahead. We knew that the summer window was nowhere near good enough after losing lukaku and barkley. The whole team looks clueless. Relying on dcl up front. In fairness i dont mean no harm. He is a young lad. But he offers nothing. Nothing. No pace in the play. And above all. ...Koeman on about his pressing game. His team wouldnt press a pancake.

That's the thing really if you want your team to press and press high up the field you buy players to fit into that system .at the minute we don't have a system or that's how it feels to me like when we play 3 at the back we do t have the full backs who are capable to play there.
