Everton v Spurs (9th Sept 3.00 KO)

[VentureBrosEFC]

Get him used to misery early?

Why does it still affect me after all these years then ...

 

[faddy the blue]

He'll now play Holgate next game in a 3 5 2. Again players will be out of position and confused what their role is. And this is how a time comes when players turn against the managers. Take a look at how it ended for Brendan Rogers at RS.

Worst game under koeman that for me. We started of ok but then utterly dreadful. Thing is when you don't buy a striker and can't hold the ball up up front it comes back to haunt you.

It will derail are season but still all the team were awful.

Have to move on

 

[eurosrees]

Can't help but feel that Koeman has missed a trick in not signing a number 10 over the summer.

Rooney is crap

 

[billyblue80]

Think he works in percentages, Klaasen Siggurdson Rooney get an average of x goals a season so shove them all in and we'll score x number over a season. Problem is it doesn't work in a game when the whole team is completely unbalanced.

You can't play three number tens, at least play Sig in a three in the middle or off the left.

Send him off ref

 

[Karbutar]

Rooney is an idiot..

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

I accept these coaches are much smarter than me

You really shouldn't do yourself down like that mate. I don't think they've got a bloody clue.

We have been asking for one for years. Serves us right.

 

[wellillwill]

..my hope remains that RK stumbles on a right team selection. It might take a few injuries and suspensions but there is no blend or balance evident here. If that's the case, we should at least be well organised but the back four looks too narrow with little or no protection in front of them.

Not sure why we can't just play footballers in conventional positions but I accept these coaches are much smarter than me.

It's pretty much what happened last season

 

[Bluechris31]

Remember when Cottee, Mo Johnson and Beardsley were are attacking options - I prayed we'd sign a big centre forward like Dion Dublin or similar 25 years later.....
Deja vu

They were dark days, remember them well.

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

I have a been a huge koeman fan, but for first time im questioning that. Playing 3 number 10s. Playing 2 cdms at home. Putting together a team of youngsters and over the hill players and making a big point of it.

 

[EvertonRhys]

Just left the match.
This will be loooooong season.

I'd like to congratulate the board on a sterling job recruiting a striker and the managers tactics.

We've gone backwards

Well in for lasting that long mate!

Rooney is crap

Yet he will play 90 mins every single week. The mind boggles.
