Ronald Koeman discussion

[USABlue]

For what it's worth, 3rd most long balls in Martinez's first season behind Aston Villa and Southampton. 4th most in his last season behind Watford, Norwich and Crystal Palace.

seems like playing long balls doesn't lead to significant success for everton

It's been poor today so far.It's been a decent season with signs of decent progress.But a lot still needs to be done to get Everton back amongst the elite of football.Were still a fair bit off the elite teams.Just get the cheque book out in the summer Moshiri.

 

[Zezti]

ffs

 

[AlE]

Crap

Embarrassing today.

Ok we miss Schneiderlin, Coleman and even Bolasie. Current squad depth is pretty bad.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Ok right were 7th.Best of the rest.Improvement yeah that's good.But Chelsea are the champions elect.Getting to their level is where we aspire to be.They trampled all over us at Stamford Bridge and they trampled all over us today.While i welcome news about new stadiums i think in the here and now the most important priority is the playing squad.Are we happy to plod along being best of the rest or do we want Everton to be Everton again?A big summer ahead.Our squad depth is non existent.It needs to be sorted.No more of this waiting for the transfer window to be nearly closed before we sign new players rubbish.Just get it sorted nice and early no bs.So Koeman has a squad well prepared and raring to hit the ground running next season.We have come on a long way since last season but i think today was a depressing reminder that were still a long way off where we want to be.I was talking on this thread about humble pies and all that.I think it's time for me to eat my slice now.

Well bedwetters you've waited all season for this moment. A heavy home defeat, so it would be wrong to deny you your moment. Enjoy your night lads.

0-3 was down to the selection of a wrong keeper today. Christ Stek was the Dutch Paul Gerrard.

The Mosh was there. Need to get his cheque book out.

7th ain't "best of the rest".

That trophy is still awarded to the 5th placed team

 

[GwladysBlue]

He brought Koné on as a message to the board. Our squad is terrible.

 

[KaiserEFC]

Not sure what the hell he was doing today, but ok we're in Europe so it doesn't really matter. Still far better than Martinez when I used to think that after every game

 

[Joey66]

And hit RK over the head with it - Unsy has won the under 23 s against all the top spending teams two players today Stek and Kone - really not fit to play in division 2 starts one and fetches the other one on who has hardly kicked a ball????

 

[BigDuncis Blue]

We are now playing mind numbingly boring, lethargic, defensive minded, unatractive, pass sideways, pass backwards, dont run at their defense type of football.....just dont know whether thats because of RK or that 90% of our squad are bang average and need replacing

 

[ToffeeTim]

My only concern is he is a bit like moyes. Good moyes not current moyes. But we need more aggression at times and he tends to go defensive.

He needs backing tho and it is a must
