Ronald Koeman discussion

[D1ck0]

I hope the club has some integrity and doesn't leave it to the fans to sort out like they did with Martinez. Somethings up; Just get it done.

 

[Nymzee]

Well that's the sacking put to bed. Not sure why people bother coming out with statements like that. If it gets worse and they bin him he just looks a tit.

 

[jceverton]

Yearh he can't work on things with most of the first team as such.

That most probably a good thing

 

[Abraders]

Perhaps Koeman wants us to play like Spurs,but our squad is just not that good.
I don’t know how much longer this can go on without somebody changing something. has anyone told Moshiri that Jim White doesn’t return your calls on TDD when you’re in the Championshi?
People calling for Unsy have a good point in that he would return the passion for a few games but it wouldn’t last long - until we got larraped by a top six side likely.
If I were advising RK tonight I would suggest he pick his strongest 11 right now, use a system the players can play to already, tell them that unless they get injured they are playing the next 5 games minimum and let them go battle for him.
I’d suggest his 1st 11 might be:

Pickford
Kenny, Keane, Holgate, Baines
Schneiderlin, Gana
Vlassic, sigurdsson, Davies
Rooney(c)

Bench
Stek
Lookman
Klaasen
Williams
Cuco
Besic

Look to make it through to Christmas and keep it respectable.

You put Rooney up front who is not a threat at all and didn't even put DCL, possibly our best player ti the system, in the squad...

I really don't understand how he expects Baines and Martina to be our width when they aren't up to it and exposed, while he crams in everyone centrally?Then continues to do that repeatedly?!He chops and changes way too much how can they get any consistency, it's clear Davies should be starting it's clear Williams and Martina are rubbish. I am so depressed about this team right now they look utterly clueless and bereft as soon as we concede it's all over.

 

[Flynnthistle]

Jim has spoken. We are fecked lads.

 

[Lowste]

They've actually got consistency now tho mate

Agree, gone through the mill to get there.
But I do think the days of longevity for managers is over, supporters are more demanding now

No width in that team and Rooney won't stick up front

 

[jceverton]

Stick or twist time. Either the board need to back Koeman till the end of the season or sack him now and try and salvage something. No point waiting till Christmas and changing cause by then it will likely be way too late.

Twist - we are now entering the ABK zone!

 

[Toast]

First on motd2.

Is right koeman lad.

 

[Lowste]

This isn't the first sign of problems tho. No away wins since January and utterly turgid football since then as well.

I didn't mean RK, I meant in general...

Yep and more so clubs will panic at the thought of going down and hence they pull the trigger early. But this is Everton and it doesn't happen lol

 

[goodisonopheliac]

I've got to hand it to Koeman, he's managed to become more hated than Martinez in less than a season. I think it took Bob two seasons for everyone to turn on him.

Also, I found this:

Ah, my mistake

 

[18efc78]

Why did the board hire him in the first place, has anybody seen his managerial record, borders on average at best. I thought these people looked into things like that before employing a so called expert in his field. Deary deary me.

Didn't want him then, don't want him now, his CV is absolutely terrible, nearly took Valencia down n finished 3rd in a two horse race in Portugal. The pinnacle being coming 6th in the season when Leicester won the league n we had another clown in charge
