Ronald Koeman discussion

[ilikecheese]

So as I've stated in other threads I wasn't able to watch the match. It sounds like it was as bad as it gets.

I remember last season when we fluked that draw against City with a moment of brilliance with Bolasie and Lukaku stealing a goal and Stek having the game of his life to prevent us from being totally embarrassed that day followed by Chelsea doing exactly what City should have done by tonking us 5-0.

Has Koeman 'topped' that low?

Yup, every bit as bad as that Chelsea game but most of the players are his now

"His" players played like they wanted him gone.

I guess in the big scheme of things you expect the huge turnover rate to create a problem of continuity. That said Morgs stepped in from out of the team and slotted right in...has looked a shadow of himself in the games I've watched. The D looks weak too.

So many problems.

*waits 10 league games to opine.

Thing is though what is the answer?
Lennon and mirallas have pace. Tell them they are playing next 6 games and try to balance the team.
Hate to admit this but when Ross is fit we will need to play him even though he has gone at the end of the season. We need somebody who can keep hold of the ball.
There is no cohesion or pace or passing ability, no forward and no direction.
We have wasted so much cash it's embarrassing.

For me the only waste looks to be Klassen

I think that Ronald was the wrong manager for us at the wrong time not to say he's a bad manager. It's just that I think he has always seen us as a stepping stone to a better more prestigious job. So he has tried to rush success so that he can get a new big job by the time his contract runs out

It also doesn't help when your owner says that we only have two or three windows to catch up with the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City

I was hoping he'd be gone when I woke up.


Come on Ronald, do the decent thing!

Wa wa wa... laughable lad. My god you are a bright lad. The reason the teams above us are better they have better players and spent more money

Hmmm.
Well City spend 100m+ on full backs mate. On full backs.
Utd's record signing is 90m.
Chelsea have spent millions every season for the past 15 years.
Leicester were the exception to the rule.
So if you don't want to be 6th or 7th, I would switch it off, yes mate.

Wow. Id really want you by my side when going into battle. You do realise the moshiri came in to the club 3 windows ago. You do realise this "project" about changing everton into top 4 contenders. And now you have titally forgotten with that and are happy with 7th. Fine. You be happy with 7th. ( but the problem is we wont finish 7th. This is a mid table team as you need to consider the thursday night matches will have an effect.I and alot of other evertonians are not happy being midtable. I want the club to progress and challenge. I dont want them on a par with wba and i would say there are alot more like me.

He won't go that easily he's too proud for that I'll give it to after the next game when I feel we are going to get slaughtered by Manchester United

I'd take 17th right now.

Funny thing is, it's the Everton way that we'll probably go and beat the Mancs Sunday.

That is not going to happen. They will eat us up there. Blow us out bubbles.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Wah wah wah.....the reason we are where we are is that the teams above us spend a lot more money than us and have better players.

We have had a load new players, at least give them a chance to bed in.

Yes it is not nice to see, yes we have to go through some pain sometimes, but I predict the panic will soon be over.

I bet you predicted we would bring in a top front man calling everyone bed wetters. You do realise we are supposed to be finishing up a project to enable us to challenge for top 4. Koeman stated he need 3 windows. He has got 3 and our new saviour mosh the utter fraud nearly made a profit after 3 windows only for barkley to pull out. Imagine that a profit after 3 windows. Laughable.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Still can't get over just how bad we are.

He just HAS to go with something completely different against Manchester United. He has to.

This reminds me of Martin O'Neil at Villa, when he blew millions of bang average players.

..it's more about systems than personnel for me. We are dreadful to watch, we have no creativity and we look defensively weak.

Not sure if the preference is a back 3 or back 4. In our team a back 3 suggests RK doesn't think any of his pairings are strong enough. A back 3 usually means attacking wing backs ahead who get around the back of the opposition defence and create (Moses and Alonso at Chelsea), but we go with Holgate and Baines because the two wide Centre Backs need protection. Effectively we play with 5 at the back.

Last night Schneiderlin had Vlasic, Rooney, Sigurdsson, and DCL ahead of him meaning he was exposed. When the ball is knocked forward we have no width to get around the back of defences so everything is ponderous. We attack through the strongest part of the opposition back four and come unstuck. Basics really.
