Match Thread Everton vs Lyon 19 October, 20:05

[Enzouk]

I still wouldn't sack him, he showed us he's a good manager last season. Granted this season he's been awful, fell out with players and been stubbern, and spent alot of money. Tonight he showed a willingness to change, tried something different, showed fight and looked interested, when the chips are down the character comes out, I still hold faith despite some of the dross i've watched us play all season. I'd least leave give him a few more games seriously, I really don't think pressing the panic button is the solution.

Not much point qualifying for Europe. Should concentrate on finishing just outside European qualification with next manager

 

[Fansince1988]

Unsy isn't my choice for full time, but as an interim for a few games? I'll take it all day over this shocking fraud.

Yes give him until the new year.

Tonight I'll dream that Everton sack Koeman, tell Walsh to sort out #9 in Jan or he goes to

So glad I decided to stay at home

 

[toffeejack]

Why is Koeman being a tit and having a pop at the ref?

Just pure frustration. Bit harsh on the ref but every single manager likes a good volley of abuse at an official when things aren't going well

If we scored again at 1-1 I honestly think we would have held on

Me too Mikey but the problem is we never look likely to score. There's no cohesion, no pattern, no chances created and no efforts on goal. Can't win games like that especially when your back four is as bad as ours was tonight. Thank the Lord for Pickford tonight.

That was CoCo the clown!

It wasn't Holgate pulled someone back on the right wing.

 

[Gladystweet]

Toothless up front again. We score a goal, from a defender who was lucky to be on the pitch. We are in deep trouble.

No he didn't. Finishing the season in the first week of January wasn't being a good manager.

And he wants to manage Barcelona...will be lucky to get a job at all . Unfortunately it was expected...same happened at Valencia. Just had a couple of good season down south and suddenly becomes a world class manager. Let's choose the next one wisely. Doesn't have to be a big name just someone with a good track record.

Unsworth in

 

[Tigger]

It's all very sad and no end in sight, even if The Crumpet goes this is no quick fix.

LAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might be unpopular right now as everyone wants koemans head. But he started a team (bar injuries) we mostly wanted. He made attacking subs and went after the game. We showed some fight.

The timing of their goals killed us. I'm not koemans biggest fan at all and think it's time for a new manager and change of morale in the team but tonight I reckon he made the right decisions. One of them nights.

At least the performance wasn't utter crap.

 

[AdaBrummieblue]

Yes give him until the new year.

I think I'd be tempted by that tbh. Unless of course there's a proven name we definitely want who's available.

Hint, hint.
