Ronald Koeman discussion

7th or 11th. It's a nothing distinction. Not in this league.

This was you on September 17th. You never expected better, so god knows why you're whinging now.

It's difficult. Klopp has a season under his belt at Liverpool and knows what's expected now with them and they have no European distractions. United under Mourinho wont be anywhere other than a top 2/3 finish. Arsenal are Arsenal and therefore will be very competitive for top 4 as they always are. City and Chelsea are in the same position as United and will contest the title. Spurs wont fal drastically if at all from their position of last season.

Everton dont have the pedigree to be up there in a normally competitive season. It'll take a minimum of about 75 points to get fourth in that company. If Everton had invested heavily this summer in the squad then maybe there was an outside chance of bagging that 4th spot.

The difference between 11th and 7th is 22m.
7th normally gets you Europa.

Its not nothing.

In football terms it's no step up in class from one level to another. That's the point. 7th or 11th. Who cares?

Yes, that was in relation to a top 4 spot mate.

...which is why a new manager was brought in.

He's apparently a 'great' manager...and certainly gets the wages of any great manager in European football. All we've had so far though is safe, boring, up and under "football".

His first season here so far has been shocking and only some freak circumstance whereby 27 points gets you 7th place has covered his arse on it.

I'd rather have safe, boring football and be 7th than crown ourselves as the entertainers and finish in the bottom half though.

Who are these people you keep retweeting? They have no authority whatsoever.

Ive just explained why we should care, its worth 20m+ and it gets the club into Europa, which helps us attract players.

What, you cant play good football and be top half? Is this what the belief is now?

Koeman and is apologists have well and truly scored a victory there.

We have a billionaire mate. WTF is £20M in the grand scheme of things?

Yeah, but you referenced the six teams above us competing for it, that didn't include us, so logically I concluded you were saying that's the top six, four of which will make up the top four. Or have I misread it?

The Europa is a waste of time and a complete season wrecker.

Yes, you've misread it. They were going to be tough to overhaul FOR A TOP FOUR SLOT.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Yes. But 7th is nothing. It really is nothing.

You know what mate , I'm finally coming to understand what your dream Everton team is , it's a football version of the Harlem Globetrotters. They don't compete in any meaningless leagues or cups, they just travel round doing keepy- ups and demonstrations of interminably pointless passing, like a bloody circus act.
'7th place nothing' ? Jesus!!!!

Non of us do mate, it's all the world of social media, including this forum. This is one example of what fans think of us.
