Ronald Koeman discussion

[Albro]

Needs to prove his worth midweek.

442 diamond
Kenny Holgate Jags Baines
Davies Gana(Schneiderlin) Vlasic Sigurdsson
DCL Rooney(Sandro)

Only 1 DM necessary. Play Sigurdsson behind the strikers and start Davies/Kenny, not hard.

I'm pretty sure Koeman wasn't happy that Lukaku wasn't replaced and I don't think would have said to the board, 'don't worry, we go with what we have got'.

Think he was let down by not getting the first choice targets, mainly because they didn't want to come. Thinking of the summer transfers of strikers, there was no one who we would want who was good enough to replace Rom, or we simply couldn't attract them.

What RK has to answer to is picking the wrong teams to start with. He's got some good players to choose but he's doesn't have to play them all. That's the idea of a big squad. Competition.

Make your life easier RK and pick a team that is balanced with a strong bench.

None of which changes the fact that Koeman was more than happy to let the current top scorer leave on deadline day!

Stop defending the indefensible!

We love winning.

We hate to see a manager playing inferior players and confusing team selection.

OK I’m sorry we won.

Nah sounds weird.

We won and I’m made up. Hope we win next time too.

Koeman is understandably getting a lot of stick for losing faith in Oumar and packing him off to East Yorkshire last season, but we fans hardly stood by the lad through thick and thin.

I'm just delighted that all his hard work is finally paying off.

Winning is nice winning in style is exciting!

Arsed. We won. They didn’t.

 

[jceverton]

If we win every game like that until the end of the season then I’ll be dead happy.

I’m not sure some of you lot like winning games.

Yeah but the point is you won't win every game playing like we did today. More often than not you will get beat if you select the wrong team and adopt the wrong tactics for three quarters of the game. We got away with it today because Bournemouth are a very poor side who I think will be involved in a relegation battle unless they get some good players into the side in January.

Listen if koeman would stop starting klassen , Rooney and Sigurdson together , they'd be a difference straight away - that's where he's going wrong ATM

You never seen a school of science Everton team did you?

 

[marsh]

I'd prefer him to play players in the correct positions and play wingers, oh and play lookman more because i like him

 

[MikeH72]

He deserves no credit whatsoever for that today. Set up horrendously once again with no width, pace or energy. Got lucky with Davies popping up with a through ball from a central position when he'd shoved him out on the right, and a player who, if he had his way would not be at the club, scoring twice. Either way, he won't learn a thing and we'll be starting with 3 number 10s and an isolated centre forward again next week. Shocking management.

 

[GwladysBlue]

The player Koeman exiled could be the player that saves him his job.

 

[ijjysmith]

No idea what that has to do with today.

To be clear I’ve not once said we played well today. Not once.

 

[ijjysmith]

I’m also laughing at anyone who thought he’d have been sacked today if we’d lost.
