Ronald Koeman discussion

[Mikeonlythebestwilldo]

catch up could be on !!!

 

[Professor Toffee]

The last month or so I can finally see what he's trying to do

3 at the back is like a breath of fresh air

Coleman and Baines back at it

 

[MikeH72]

The formation change has been a master stroke, I don't think that should be forgotten about. It's reinvigorated some players that I thought were gone, and it's taken our better players to a new level.

Where's @davek?

Ha ha ha. We win and you think of me.

Where am I? Still here mate, still looking at a manager who has us in 7th place.

The recent run is encouraging, but my point about Koeman has always been that he's a streaky manager. Good first 5 games this season followed by 3 wins in 17 games. Now we have an upturn, but there will be another downturn.

It's the nature of the beast.

The solidity of this team compared to last year is stark. So good to see us bossing the opposition a bit and playing good football.

I thought Barry did superbly well before Schneiderlin came on. Davies was excellent again.

 

[Abraders]

What a man

 

[jal123]

Pleased with the last two results, still clear to me this squad can't achieve anything for Everton and he needs a few bob in the summer.

Next summer is when he will be judged, and rightly so.

With respect, if we're talking about inconsistent management, how's one good season then two dreadful ones?

 

[VentureBrosEFC]

Yup and people can't see the huge diffrence he's already making on this team then they're bloody ignorant

Or Dave. Or both.

 

[davek]

Looking forward to @davek's post match analysis, and Koeman's management in particular.

My analysis: we won against a relegation outfit. Of course all you can do is win, but we are where we are in the league.

Come back when we're challenging for a CL spot and Ill do cartwheels.

Martinez thread for that. Don't know how many times the mods here have to tell everyone.

Happy to discuss him in that.

 

[Baines' left foot]

What a shock. A manager inheriting a morbidly bad team and given time starts showing signs of improvement.

The kneejerkers pre-Christmas should be banished.

Someone nailed it the other day. There's a certain type of Evertonian that rushes to write a player/manager off and prays that they are right so that they can appear to a super knowledgable football fan and score points over their mates in their sad lives.

 

[roydo]

And still, chew on this.

An 18 year old academy lad, on his 1st away start, played in a £60k right back, in the penalty area, away from home, on the 87th minute.

Just let that sink in.

@davek
Guys, let's keep this thread to RK... no need to get into the RK v RM scenario again.
Thanks.

I'm comparing your Koeman comment directly to our previous manager.

I would say he hasn't been here long enough to come to a concrete conclusion about how consistent he is.
