It’s 9am in UK get to work Moomin.

You’re laughable. He got it wrong on Koeman last season and he got it absolutely wrong on Martinez. Yea go around like kids and ask someone to apologise. This is fun.

What time is in icantadmitiwaswrong land??

Think this could be the last week for Koeman here, he just never cared for the club like Martinez did.

Ok you ignore things that you can’t answer so do you think he got it wrong on Martinez and Koeman last season? That’s 4 years in total. Take one year out for the holy grail season if you want.

You are deluded if you believe in Bobby’s words.

He's trying to be funny and wind you up mate, stop raising to the bait FFS! it's like a playground in here.

Though I appreciate it isn't life or death, imagine having nothing better to do than to try and wind other Evertonians up at a time when the club is in absolute turmoil. It's cringeworthy and not even remotely funny.

I know Thomas. He is, as always.
 
47 games why, when the last fella can only win in his first season. This ain’t subjective. This does not reflect the reality. I’ll do the maths again.

Moyes 173 wins out of 427 PL games = 40.52%
Martinez 43 wins out of 113 PL games = 38.05%
Koeman 19 wins out of 47 PL games = 40.43%
Spoil sport
 

In fairness though, one very good season + one poor season + one absolutely crap season is better than one okay season followed by being bombed out in your second season with the team in the relegation zone and looking close to the worst in the league.

Maybe if somebody could let Ron know that he is going to leave here being rated as worse than RM and the worst manager we have had since Walter he might actually buck his ideas up and sort us out. Surely he will want to do better than a manager he was making snide references to when he started out here?

Hopefully the next guy is installed quickly, is great and we can quickly forget the last 3 seasons and the crap bit of this one.

Last season wasn't that bad mate. I know it wasn't exactly swashbuckling stuff, but there were some highs, such as beating Man City 4-0, the run of form from Christmas until about April.
 
From Greg O'Keeffe who's now at BBC Sport.
A laughable and farcical statistic but unfortunately it's not too unsurprising as they simply opened us up with the utmost of ease yesterday.

As have most teams if we're being truly honest; it's easy to highlight our poor attacking options, but that doesn't negate weaknesses elsewhere.

Remove Pickford from the situation, who has been one of the shining lights in a woeful campaign, and we're weak in all other parts of the pitch.

That's why I believe that Koeman's tenure is surely to come to an end very soon, as there's no real areas where we can even expect improvement.

Our defence is currently shockingly inept (in the mainstay), our midfield has been poor bar a few players/performances and there's nothing up top.

More grim reading. Especially Pickford's one
 
When you weigh the situation up, this "new era" at Everton is actually proving to be nothing of the sort.

Yesterday, we took to the pitch and ended the game with players who being honest, would not get a sniff in any of the top 6 sides.

Niasse is a trier god love him, but nothing more than that.
DCL is improving and will be a very decent striker, but he is not ready to lead the line consistently for a club with so called top 6 ambition.
Kenny looked a bit thrown to the wolves.
Rooney would not be anything more than a sub for the teams in the top 6.
Davies looks like he has something but needs proper guidance.
Vlasic looks the same as Davies and to expect him to be our saviour is unrealistic.
Williams has completely gone at the game.
Jags is probably one season too many.
Martina on the bench etc etc

I suppose when you look at it like that, it is 40% of the starting line up and it is no wonder we are struggling.
 
I’ve got to be honest here – I think he is self-sabotaging. There is absolutely no way any manager would change the starting line-up/formation as often as Koeman has. He seems to be deliberately keeping an unsettled side.

The only person that apparently cannot see this is the problem is Koeman. I honestly don’t think he is that clueless.

Koeman knows how to set up without a Lukaku type in the team. He is refusing to do that, just to prove a point - “You didn’t get me a Lukaku replacement – this is your fault”. He didn’t expect to still be here, because he over-estimated the ambition of our board (or under-estimated Moshiri’s nerve).

Someone mentioned earlier – tongue in cheek – that it was a game of chess between Koeman and Moshiri. I don’t think that statement is very far from the truth. He wants out, but not without his compensation.

Also, just as a footnote – In the same fixtures last year, Lukaku had scored six goals (four of them against Bournemouth). Rooney, this season has scored three, with Niasse also scoring three. We picked up fifteen points, compared to seven points this season. To me, that suggests that we have replaced the Lukaku goals. The problems lie with selection, formation and tactics. This is all on Koeman. No one knows what they are supposed to be doing, because, as mentioned previously – he, for whatever reason, keeps changing it.


Rant over.
