Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

If I am honest with you Dave, I never much watched Saints under Koeman.

Were they an exciting, attacking unit?

I wouldn't say they played silky football, but they were a damn sight more exciting than the predictable boring rubbish he's served up here.

Trevor Francis would have been a decent foil for Latch too

For sure

Football forums wield significant power and GOT is possibly the most powerful forum on the inter web.
Make no mistake, the boards of every football club visit GOT on a not infrequent basis.
Everton's 'big guns' on the board will be following @davek assiduously. Make no mistake, RK's days here are numbered. Bobby will be back shortly

Bobby's gone on to bigger and better things. We're beneath him now.

I've just realised that only 2 of Martinez's signings are in our 1st team at the moment. Just shows what Koeman is up against.

On the other hand they are arguably the two most important players in the side

Well that can't be true surely, he's made it his personal mission to ensure that no team is ever beneath him.

@davek in 'becoming Koeman'.

Some advice for you in here Dave pertaining to the Sammy Lee shout.

 

[Elong]

So you don't mind the constant negatives attacks at a manager who been in for 12 games.

You were at it for 3 years with Martinez.

 

[Elong]

Sammy Lee though. Dave's going from strength to strength.

 

[BlueToff]

I don't think he was in fairness

As they're the only two players RM brought in during his time that seem capable of adapting to a different way of playing.

Barry is as clever as they come (when it comes to footballers at least) and will fit seamlessly into any system really. Lukaku is of course the goal-scorer.

Overall I think Martinez did well on the transfer front. He brought in some good players. The issue that is now being proved is most of them can't adapt to a new style of play.

The OP may also have been referring to the fact that a good bunch of our first team have now been here since Moyes's days as well, mind.

And while Seamus and Baines and Barkley are deservedly starters, I suppose it may be an indication of why the squad seems to have gone stale.

I remember we had a fantastic player here, You might have heard of him, Alan Ball, legend absolute Legend. Pretty crap manager if I remember, used to get frustrated because his players couldn't do the things he could.

Being a top player doesn't always mean you can transfer over into management and be successful. Lot's of top players have had this problem.

FFS don't even know what point i'm making now.
