Ronald Koeman discussion

Not open for further replies.
Agaisnt Hull and a knackered Southampton we played to feet. Do you think that;ll be the case against clubs above us or even around us in more equitable circumstances?

He reaches for the route one security blanket way too often. He's defo more route one than Moyes.

We'll see mate

I get the sense he wants us to play more technical football, but he'll also take what he can get when the chips are down

That's just good old fashioned pragmatism

If we can win playing nice looking togger, he'll do that, and if we have to get stuck in and play it up to the big man, he'll do that as well

He's showing a flexibility in his selections and tactics that I wasn't expecting

Playing the kids, changing the formation, bringing on attacking subs and trying to mix it up instead of focusing on just one game plan, as opposed to refusing to change it whatsoever because he won't abandon his "vision"

It's dependant on who we bring in over the next two windows, but I think Ronald Koeman isn't going to be satisfied with us just playing route one stuff, he's going to want us to have more feathers to our bow

Again, I'd watch this space
 
He would get the job because he is a Legend, not because of his managerial career to be fair.

Barca have an absolute plethora of legends that could manage them other than Koeman though, they gave Guardiola and Enrique the job after no previous experience, purely based on the fact they're former players and had been around the club. They are probably more likely to give it to someone like Xavi than they are Koeman.

I agree, just pointing out that IF he was to get it, the reason would not be because of his managerial career.
 

There is no way Koeman has what it takes to get us into the places both Moyes and Martinez had us and keep us there.

The measure of Koeman will always be how close he can get us to top four, and I cant see - regardless of new personnel - the way he serves up his football (and his very streaky career runs so far with other clubs) as pointing in any direction than way off the pace of a top four berth.

It seems though that the bar has been lowered for most so that now three seasons of 7th will be deemed a success.
Martinez had us in 11th mate

Mate you don't have a crystal ball plus the mighty El Frando had us finished in the 11th and 12th place. It looks like you can't wait to have a go at Koeman everyday.

He should be measured thecsame as any other Everton manager, on trophies and proximity to the top 4. His first season he needs to rebuild but he can't just have us cruising in 7th for three years. He needs to challenge the top 6 above him as both Moyes and Martinez did. Looks out of reach this season but after January and the summer there should be no excuses why we can't accumulate the number of points needed to get up there.
 

One good season on the back of Moyes team, before he obliterated all of the good work done by Moyes and had us going backwards faster than a bike on a hill with no brakes and broken pedals.

To even compare those two in the same sentence is insulting to Moyes.

I think we'll see the same with Puel, inherited a rock solid defence from Koeman and blended in a bit of attacking footy up top. Now it looks as though it's starting to unravel.
