Having just watched England beat Australia at Twickenham after a decidedly dodgy first forty minutes, I have to say that Eddie Jones seems to have exactly what is needed in terms of recognising problems and dealing with them.

England started poorly, got back into it, but trailed 13-16 at half time.
Second half, they destroyed Australia and won 37-21 to complete their 14th straight win and a perfect 13 from 13 since Jones took over the debacle that was the Rugby World Cup.

The kind of coaching, tactical and motivational skills that Eddie Jones appears to have in abundance seem to me to be exactly what Everton appear to be (stunningly and worryingly) short of at present.

I sincerely hope that our showing against Manure tomorrow demonstrates that Mr.Koeman has such similar qualities, as a lack-lustre performance aka those of Chelsea away, Swansea at home and Southampton away will go down like the proverbial lead balloon in my eyes.

If we don't start well or things are going against us, I want to see the kind of decision making that Mr.Koeman made at West Brom and Sunderland that reaped rewards and earned victories.

Beating Manure would be great, beating them in style would be even better...
Come on Mr.Koeman, show us and give us what we want to see.
 


They are not tosh... they need to be inspired, invigorated and encouraged.

I believe they are mid table fodder and we need to ship three quarters of them out asap. I'm not absolving Koeman here, but if he doesn't get given vast funds and better players, we will remain mid table fodder.

Tomorrow, especially cause it's a home game against the mancs, the least we deserve is whole hearted effort and spirit.

Those last five words needed from players, coaching staff, manager and fans alike... imo.
 

And about Koeman, when there is a massive thread about it.

Also, Tories.

Finally, 'Mr.Koeman'

Young Andy has had a nightmare here

Not so young and was merely being polite in the use of Mr.

The just of my point is true irrespective of the name of the manager, the man at the helm needs to be able to recognise problems and deal with them.

And what the heck is the 'Tories' reference all about ?

Rugby Union.

It's completely incomparable here - he's mixed six nations (where he got some corking home fixtures) and what essentially amounts to friendlies this autumn and a pretty talented squad wasted under previous management; this Everton side is full of rot and all our games in the league (and cup) are 'meaningful'

'Merely being polite'? Erm, ok. Fair enough...
