Ronald Koeman discussion

[wainy]

You just answered your own question.

How can you guarantee someone number one status except if he doesnt play well? Thus its not a guarantee.

I did indeed. Alls Everton had to say was "You'll be no.1 unless your form is woeful". Pretty sure he'd have signed as most players will accept be dropped if they are stinking the place out.

[Dirty Dutch]

Ergo its not a guarantee is it?

It's a guarantee he gets a good run. No player is guaranteed every game until they retire.

This is a great post. I'll come back on it tomorrow when I've reflected on it. As you say it's not wrong what he says, but bizarre timing a week in.

Hes probably just seen Ndidi make his debut and play a role in beating us having been signed up weeks ago.

You dont.
What if he has a nightmare run of form?

Hart had to many mistakes in him, not that ours dont but I really don't think hart is all that. He's a big name in the game but he is in consistant and we have to many of those.

Which is exactly what Hart wanted.

Wondering if someone within the hierarchy has questioned koemans performance over the first six months of the season and decided to pull the plug on any extensive transfer activity due to not trusting him

@davek getting on Ronald's case to try and claw back a morsel of the credibility he lost last year.

He wanted a one year loan with guarantees he starts every game.
Its as simple as that.
Its not possible.

Considering we spent 11m on a league one player I doubt it.

This is why I feel his anger is more directed at the players than at the board, his comments about 'an 18 year old being the best player' is telling. I think he's making a point to the board too but I feel most of it was directed at the players.

So why pick Barry over him for the majority of the season? An 18 year old who he has barely given any game time to. At least the last couple of games he's seen the light and Davies hasn't let himself or the team down.

Koeman probably had limited input in that

whats going on here?

Surely even the most stalwart fans of RK must be disappointed with his performance so far? In terms of results and performances. I think @davek is a lone voice calling for his sacking, but i need evidence of a serious course adjustment. A bold move in the transfer window could go some way in raising morale and by that I don't mean just Morgan. Otherwise, we can kiss Rom goodbye. How patient can we reasonably expect him to be? We've been duff for the last 3 seasons.
