Ronald Koeman discussion

And just on the long ball thing. There's nothing wring with it if it's done right. And yes we can't do it.

But we couldn't pass it nicely either.

Maybe, just maybe, some of them aren't good at any sort of football.

So he's a passenger. We can't afford that with the team we have, the fella is clueless.

Spot on. More or less every time we put the ball up the pitch to him he lost it.

Straight back at us time after time. He's a liability.

 

[Ratkiller]

The sort of Everton I want to see is a winning Everton how we get there is secondary. Right now we are some way off I agree, but I see some progress whereas you see only despair. It's just the way it is.

I'd love to know what the progress is.

Last night was the same old Everton. Incapable of putting in a 90 minute performance and failing to see out a game against that shower.
3 different managers but all had the same problem with different players.

He was...but why choose HIM?

Out of an entire squad, why have the slow chap on the bench and why then choose him for a helter skelter game where we needed legs...?

Who were the other possible options? Cleverley and Gibson?


Don't start with Davies, yes he's looked neat and tidy in his cameos but I still think he is a bit of a ways off from being good enough for the first team.

I agree with you there Zat.

I have said Im happy to give Koeman a lot of leeway,I just want to see some improvement in any area and I havent seen any,all I have witnessed so far is the most dull lacklustre football in the league

Koeman came to us purely for the money on offer. It was a strange appointment by Moshiri
Looked totally out of his depth last night, and to leave stek on like that was madness, as was Barry for McCarthy
The rest of the season will be a roller coaster, I hope we dont splash the cash on crap in January

 

[ChrisBlue]

Power and pressing are an integral part of the game, yes. But when it's our only "tactic" it makes for awful football and steadily worsening results. I still don't see where Koeman is going with his non-football approach and all his talk of fitness levels but no mention of skill or quality. That doesn't sound like the sort of Everton I want to see.

How much skill/quality do you think he can get out of Barkley/Besic/Barry/Cleverly/McCarthy/Valencia/Kone/Lennon

We have a squad full of crabs and pensioners

No he didn't

Do you reckon they're any good at laying a drive, could really do with some cheap quotes

I doubt it.

They'd be those ones who will say it will take a day but then take a month because it rained a bit.

Koeman had a preseason...Klopp did not.

Klopp has spent £150m

Koeman did not

More than Stoke, Watford, Bournemouth squads

 

[Woolverhampton_Blue]

Not sure what he's spent, but he did inherit a better group of players to start with than Koeman did.
