Ronald Koeman discussion

[BlueToff]

We're out of both domestic cups at home to opposition we could have beaten, lost the Derby again, the football is pretty poor, the players look as though they can't be bothered, our medical record remains the biggest joke in the top flight, Koeman seems to blame anyone but himself. Anything else?

Koeman has taken responsibility.

He wasn't blaming the defeat the other day on a lack of deals.

He was just saying that it would be blatantly obvious we need more players if you watched that game, which is what we've all said...

Martinez could have won us the league mate with '5 more wins'.

not really here nor there that is it?

I could've won the lottery with two more numbers - meh

Does anyone else think Koeman was lied to about transfer budgets and Is sulking a wee bit

Think he has realised that we are crap at transfers and can't understand why we don't get them sorted much quicker, or easier.

You done well getting 4 numbers, I only ever win a lucky dip

7th.

We're 7th.

What's the problem?

We play like poo, are out of both cups, and it feels like we're pretty lucky to be in 7th.

We're Everton. It's depressing.

But if we can't even buy a new midfield, I won't be too harsh on Koeman. Would have hoped he could do something with what we had. He can't. Neither could Martinez (or Moyes really). Replace them. See if he can do a job then.

If we don't get the players in he wants,maybe a resignation could be on the cards.

7th is nothing. Even Roberto could have got us 7th with about 5 more wins. plus if he hadn't got so depressing we might have won a cup. we were beating man city in the league cup and the fact he had John Stones at right back and threw it away was the final straw for some.

You say that as if winning an extra 13% of the seasons matches is a small thing

 

[Ashtonian]

Wouldn't blame him either for him walking away for that reason.

It's a bit nippy.

That is blaming the squad though isn't it? He basically said the players weren't up to it and demanded new ones.

Which is pretty obvious and the truth.

Maybe that's true, but it is definitely blaming the players.

I can't believe how many people are defending Koeman's attitude. I am in no way advocating getting rid of him but he has to do better. We undoubtedly need to overhaul the squad but that doesn't excuse the mistakes he's made and the awful football he's been serving up. He's not even trying to get the team to play football.

He messed up against Leicester and then proceeded to deflect attention by attacking the board. I'm not saying the board aren't also having a nightmare but is he saying that we are out of the FA cup because we didn't sign Schneiderlin in time? If we'd managed to beat Leicester, like we should have, no one would be going mental now. In fact, I think we'd be pretty happy with it looking as though we'll have two good signings less than two weeks into the window.

" If we managed to beat LEICESTER like we should have. They are the current league champions and are in the last 16 of the champions league, They are a shocking team

Because I prefer a manager who speaks his mind and the truth rather than saying everything is great while all our eyes see that it is not.

It's refreshing and I like it.

Now give me Michaela Strachan's mobile number and we can leave this as it is.
