My Oviedo criticism is more based on him not being very good rather than any attitude or character issues. He's a lovely lad.

Not very good? Not sure how you spot that amongst the current crop of world beaters.

Let's just say he blends in well with the rest.

Made me laugh. Got a mate who's an Everton fan who's unbearably negative at the minute but it was clear to see why today. The ignorance of Koeman to stick with the same players despite poor performances is seemingly becoming more evident to you lot by the minute. Say goodbye to the academy boys as well and welcome some more experienced squad signings in January. Hopefully Rom can find a way out!

Liverpool Feeder Club alert.

Did you thank him for getting you into Europe, maybe now, more than 30,000 people actually know who you's are

I imagine football fans around the Globe are switching off El Classico and tuning into The Southampton v Bournemouth Derby in their droves.

Or not.

And still the best left back that's played for us this season.

MOTD2 had a dig over him not passing comment on his ex youth player, pressure starting to tell?

Why would we want him to talk about Southampton players?

Williams has been poor, it's amazing he gets away with the performances he's been putting in while Jags is getting slaughtered for the same thing

Gueye started amazing and then has gone off the boil completely - possibly back to his normal level

Bolasie is everything he was at Palace. Unpredictable, who is not a prolific with assists or goals. At the minute it seems like Everton have gambled massively on this lad being able to make a step up and it's just not happening.

Lukaku is poor at the minute but I'd defo want to keep him, but can't see that happening to be fair.

I think you've been harsh on Coleman, very often he's the only one seems to actually care what's happening.

I'd also want to keep Barkley. I thought he started positively yesterday, but quickly faded as the movement off the ball at Everton is shocking.

Koeman has a massive job to do, and I think questions are already starting to be asked about him. He would often go on these runs with no wins at Southampton but would turn them around and they'd pick up wins to climb back up. But he inherited a young side built by Pochetino who were very organised and hard working. Here he's inherited the complete opposite and the job is a massive one.

I'd imagine he has crossed off a lot of names from the squad and the list to move on will be huge now. I just hope the club can move a lot of them on (given Martinez/the club gave some ridiculous contracts) and we can bring in some genuine quality.

I know people say Barry plays well etc. but I can't help but think that if we had genuine quality in the centre of midfield then the players around them would improve as a result.

The current spine of the team lacks pace and workrate.

It is at times, I agree.

Other times, when he's putting percentage crosses into the area, it's where you need players gambling.

I'm sorry mate, but please name me one winger playing in this league (or anywhere, really) that constantly picks out pin-point crosses?

There isn't one.

A winger's job - first and foremost - is to get a cross into the area.

When Bolasie fails to do that, or wildly overhits it etc, then yeh it's his bad.

But he often gets the ball into dangerous areas but the issue is that there's nobody there except a static Lukaku.

In the one instance where we did have a man running from deep yesterday to get onto one of his crosses, Barkley missed a header that he just had to direct on target.

Maybe if we changed our tactics and didn't rely 100% on crossing then we wouldn't have to endure bolasie spraying it everywhere.

Ask martin keown he was not impressed over one of his youth players being MOTM and not praising him?

Deserve huge boos as they enter the field on Sunday. Hopefully a banner on the Gwladys saying "Lazyton Fc"

He has my total faith, the players on the other hand.

Jib off 2 defensive mids.

Especially if you go 1 up front.

We only have DMs in the whole squad mein frandel, we cant play Barkley there for 2 reasons, reason1, he cant tackle, he doesnt track players and he isnt good enough to play in midfield, reason2, if Barkley plays in midfield we dont have another ACM in the whole squad or another striker to play alongside Lukaku.

Options.
