Ronald Koeman discussion

Cork Evertonian · October 19, 2017

The Arsenal and Man City games last season were boss.He was a good Ajax manager to be fair.But yeah Ronald have a shave and be on your bike mate.Your apathy and indifference towards us as a club, mirrors our apathy and indifference towards you.Oh and take Steve Walsh with you.

Koeman looked like phil mitchell during the crack years tonight. I suspect all might not be well with him.

No Manager will do much better with this misfit squad. Who are we kidding?

If Koeman was mainly responsible for assembling it, he then needs to join Walsh out the door who must surely be on his last legs.

I'm inclined to agree. They might get a slight bounce that new managers tend to get but in there's so many problems.

I reckon we would need to give him 200 million for a manager of his calibrate to come here and sort it out, I can't see that happening.

The way I see it is to grab Ancelloti right now and say, heres a load of money, sort this out, and here's a ton of money in January for players.

Problem is we've spunkd the family silver on what's was on view on Sunday and tonight, can't see a new manager getting another go at it...

What for? For just grabbing him?

We've threw money away for less than that

Probably but unfortunately whoever takes over is inheriting a bit of a mess right now. I'd still give him time to turn it around.

Not bothered either way, just fearful about what type of manager we'd bring in next.

Walker to Royle.
Smith to Moyes.

Both managers inherited dreadful sides and turned them round dramatically.

We have good players.

We have a dreadful, defeated manager.

They all play in the same position though

It's beyond astounding how we could spend 200million and be more unbalanced than we were before he took over. I've said a few times, the next guy in has a hell of a job figuring out how to use the players brought in. And then he has an even harder time trying to get rid of the players we MASSIVELY overpaid for.

I wouldn't be so surprised if Ancelotti is back at A.C. Milan at some point this season.

Perhaps mate, not a bad shout to be fair. We have a few good players, a lot of talented youngsters but absolutely no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Who's our match winner in this squad?

One big problem we have, the manager can only really play one of Rooney,Sigardsson,Klassen then if Barkley gets fit. 3 are big signings and the other would definitely want to play if we have any chance of keeping him. Rooney and one other could play but that means Rooney at striker which he's not great at nowadays. To many players in some positions and not enough in others, how did Koeman made this mistake is beyond me.
