Ronald Koeman discussion

[Professor Toffee]

is there any chance, I mean any chance at all we could get Ancelotti? cos if there is we should drop turnip head like a hot potato.

Like a hot turnip

 

[Blues Harp]

yup but still got 5th, semi and knockout stages of EL.

What did we actually WIN ??

 

[Fansince1988]

Koeman basically sold Lukaku last season with his crappy comments on the player

I think whatever Lukaku was going to go, but we made it so easy for him also we shouldn't have sold him to untied, they just pick off our best players whenever they wish and we just let the. Also he should have been £30 million more.

Can't use the massive team summer overhaul as an excuse. Yes, it takes time for players to gel, but there is no excuse for lacking in the basics.
These fellas are paid a prince's ransom because they are supposed to be exceptional at their job, professional, obsessed with winning and super competitive. Not seeing any of that with Everton. Nobody, from the top down, seem to have any of these qualities.

He did. But Koeman did not control the timing of his sale. We could have sold Lukaku end of July or start of August with the understanding that we need our replacement first. Board decided to settle for the fees and sell him in June. They would have been confident they'll get the striker over the line just as they got everyone else. Their over confidence back fired.

I think Koeman had more of a say than that. He only started making noises about buying a striker towards the end of the window. Before the first Europa league qualifier, he seemed quite happy with the squad.

I'd rather us not play 2 defensive midfielders at home to teams like Burnley (no disrespect to them). Especially when we concede the first goal anyway. Thats down to the Manager I'm afraid. We haven't got licence to put teams on the back foot apparently. Its his responsibility to set the team up in the right way against the opposition in front of him.

nothing, haven't since 96. they're both failures but Martinez at least had some high points during his tenure

I doubt he even knows what an Everton is

 

[LEONARD]

A cold aloof personality, with a team to match.

 

[matty1878]

If we waited until the last game to Bin Martinez I just can't see them sacking koeman now

 

[Kenshin]

Plenty.

For money. Ask his agent how much it would cost to get him and pay it

 

[Toffeeslam]

When you get comfortably at home by Burnley then something is seriously wrong. They never really broke sweat today, never troubled them at all.

That performance would have not been acceptable if we were away to them at turf Moore let alone at home.

We need a change if just to put the confidence back into the team and get some clarity. Pains me to say it if we carry on we might be in a relegation battle this season.

 

[Abraders]

Mad thing is I fully expected us to lose today.

Could be far too late by then mate.
