Ronald Koeman discussion

Can't believe he put Calvert-Lewin on instead of Mirallas. Bizarre to me that.

Mirallas has been poor this year but he had to be a better option than Lewin. The kid looks nowhere near ready to be taking part in Premier League matches.

the fact we went another half without a shot on goal is another very worrying thing though, we are effing dull, that's for sure. It has to be more positive in the second half of the season, but quite frankly i'm bored shitless and wish i actually had something to do with my life instead of watch us on weekends.

was a strange one

Let's be honest mate. Kev's done nothing for ages and people complain he doesn't play the youngsters. That aside I would have put keV on myself

FFS!!!

Your position in the table CANNOT - by definition - be false.

You are where you are because of how many points you have accumulated, regardless of performances.

It's such a non-argument fgs.

There has been 11 teams that have collected less points than we have.

Bournemouth have been lauded for their displays, but they are below us, as an example.

Of course it can be!

All that matters is where you are at the end of the season.

Im getting sick of people saying "oh its Ok we are (insert number) points off (insert position). At this point it really doesnt matter as any club in the league can say that.

Fact is we are absolute garbage. Cant keep a clean sheet, cant score.

 

[Papa Shango]

Koeman isn't the problem. He had the players running their socks off tonight, which is a massive positive given the current form, the players are the problem. They're nowhere near good enough.

If we continue to just belt the ball up the field every chance we get to nobody in particular then he wil become the problem.

Does he actually have a gameplan other than run around a bit (sometimes), welly the bell forward and not shoot?

Its a pretty rubbish gameplan anyway.

Clubs with far worse squads have beaten Liverpool...

Let's be honest, if there is just ONE player you put your money on showing up during a derby, it's Mirallas. You can say he has been underwhelming (he really has been) all you like, he would have been a much much better option than the young lad. Just a completely baffling decision.

 

[tsubaki]

Tonight he didn't get a lot wrong - the injuries just screwed him (and us) - but it is worrying how much faith is shown to some (Cleverley) and not to others (Deulofeu). I'd also like to think he would have looked at the last two games and realized that Gueye / McCarthy is vastly better than Barry / Gueye or Barry / McCarthy, but I have no real confidence that he will.

Ron's game plan is the peter kay advert avvvvv it !!!!!! twwwwattttt hoooooooooffffffffffffffff
he is a genuis

Nail on head.

Bournemouth scored four against them two weeks ago.

Hammers scored two a week ago.

We never even managed two shots on target tonight.

it must be Koeman whom is instructing them to welly the ball forward at all times to a lone striker whose aerial ability and general link up play leave a lot to be desired.

The buck stops at Koeman's desk.

Very underwhelming so far, the Arsenal win just papered over the cracks, hes got a lot of work to put in has Ronny.

Thankfully we are a patient fanbase and we will give him as much time as needed to right the vast amount of current wrongs within the football club.

If things are still as bad as this after another 18months then some serious questions need to be asked.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Kev M is useless.

He's a player Evertonians always harp on about yet hes been here years and years and the only thing he does consistently is not deliver.

Mr Anonymous.

Wouldn't miss him one bit.

Hey now...we got 1 more shot on target than we did vs Chelsea. #baby steps

As much as people like having a go at Koeman for his dire football and it isn't great, I have a tough time seeing exactly how you can set up these players to create and score regularly short of leaving things wide open in defense. There is so little quality in wide areas and in the attacking midfield positions
