Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

Ah right, you wanna play like Pulis with 4 CBs at the back?

Get back in your box David.

I wouldnt pay you 6p a season for your tactical nous.

I believe in a flat back four mate. Always have, always will. Defenders defend and the rest of the team attacks.

Simple game footy when you get the basics right.

We currently have the 6th best defence in the league.

Yes Koeman can do more and we really need to improve as a team. But no matter what salary he gets, it doesn't change the enormity of the job he inherited. It's not a quick fix.

You seem to use his salary as a reason to lose patience with him. I don't remember you doing the same when Martinez wouldn't even bother to drill the team in set pieces while picking up one of the biggest managerial salaries in Europe.

Having the 6th best GA record (if that is the case) is not the same as having a back four that defends well. As said, we've simply congested the space in front of our area with bodies.

Not the same as sorting the back four out.

Holgate / Mori will come in as part of a back 3 with baines and coleman as wing backs. Lennon will make way - IMO

Not really mate. If he had us playing great football and we weren't in a nose spin then it wouldn't be an issue. It is too much for a manager of his quality though.

Because you have already made your mind up on Koeman, no matter what he says or does because of his salary you want find a negative.. We are not playing great far from it but 7th place is not dreadful.

Just a question Dave.

Did you say this about Bobby when he blatantly threw Baines under the bus for telling the truth last season?

I don't know. I do know that Baines spent from halfway through season two under Martinez to when he was sacked making snide comments about the way we play and getting digs in at Martinez. So doing that to Baines should be seen in that CONTEXT, I suppose.

 

[squonk]

whats he done today ? gone through a RED light ?

I don't recall any sly digs at all.

Dinosaur.

Meat and potato defending; champagne attacking.

That's the balance we need to strike.

Maybe Baines had a point, look at the results from the time you mentioned

Give him more than 1 failed transfer window then.

If he hasn't filed for divorce by christmas then he deffo doesn't get us

Ok here it is with Koeman that gets on my tits every bit as much as the rubbish football slop he's served up so far: he comes into this club and expects this institution to take his way of operating on the chin and simply roll over like we're friggin Southampton or some half arsed outfit. Im sorry, but the "I'm a Dutch football
personality, I'm plain talking and I say what I like" won't do here.

He fits in with us, not the other way around.

Someone needs to fill the bottom of that red Christmas tree of his up with half a dozen Everton history books and tell him to have them read by New Years Day.

Needs to look at some of the youth that has recently been impressing with Unsey.
