As much as I want to criticise Koeman for his team selection, not playing wingers and buying three no 10s, I must say the player have been an absolute disgrace. Koeman's post match analysis are correct. He may have picked a wingerless team but these players knew how important it was to win and we played at Goodison against the weakest team of the group. Why we chose to look like a league 1 side in the 1st half is beyond me. They've been all cowards. Gueye, Schniderlin in particular cos these two receive most of the ball when the move starts and both of them play it back or sideways 7/10 times.
As for Koeman, he uses the word "difficult" a bit too much for my liking and I don't like the negative vibes he gives in every press conference. He has seen enough games and has given enough excuses about injuries. Now he was complaining that we have 7 or 8 players out. Out of those only Jags and Keane would improve us right now. Even with Coleman and Bolasie out they aren't the reason we're [Poor language removed]. None of his expensive summer recruits have hit the ground running. Are we poor cos Mccarthy, Mori, Barkley are out?
I think Burnley is a must win game. We'll surely lose to Chelsea in the cup and the Arsenal game at Goodison. If we lose the Brighton game away too combined with elimination from EL I think he'll be gone well before Xmas which will make me sad cos as much as its his recruitment and tactics, the players too are responsible. Its Koeman's job to instill confidence. These are top quality players and they don't become terrible all of a sudden.
