Ronald Koeman discussion

[ianefc]

The bench started the game because of injury to Lukaku....you remember Lukaku dont you? The player that Martinez bought for £27M and who'll leave for almost £60M two seasons later.

Do you remember Niasse, McGeady, Kone, Alcaraz, Robles, Lennon, Mori and Besic? 1 swallow don't make a summer my friend. He was a disaster, like Koeman said 'I've got a squad full of right wingers and left backs'

Yeovil will be facing 93% of Everton fitness levels...and pity poor Stoke who'll be getting the full monty thrown at them.

100% Everton? We had that in the home game against Stoke last season.

Hopefully Williams and lukaku back and another 3 players in by west brom will strengthen us even more mate Did shearer say anything good about us ?

He said we should have been up two by HT and worked hard closing down.

Think it's bit harsh to have Lennon, Mori and besic on there to be fair

I enjoy listening to his interviews and how honest he is, it's a massive difference to Martinez.

Still clinging to that dave, it's on honour list with moyes CL qualification.

Ron will have this team fighting with pride for the blue shirt, organised and powefully ruthless....something that's been well and truly absent for 2 years. And that horror show that we were unfortunately witness to will be left for stories we tell our grandkids

Let's hope so. For the moment he has one point on the board. Let's see how or if he makes it to the record books.

He used all of his tactical knowledge to point out we should have been 2 up. Clear for all to see like.

Buffoon.

Different strokes different folks.

none of the names you have mentioned are left backs.....

Yeah we know that mate just imagine rom or a new decent striker instead of Kone ,was on the pitch !

It was more a reference of the mess that was left for Koeman. Martinez had no natural left sided player and no competition for Coleman. Unbalanced, leaving Koeman a big job.

 

[davek]

aye, that's the thing: most of us (me included) wanted Moyes and Martinez out, yet under an apparently rich & ambitious new owner and a sought-after Big Name Manager most aren't even expecting us to match what the previous two managers did, at least not in their first full season. Anywhere between 8th-12th seems to be the average prediction.

Deffo a strange one. Saying that, Leicester winning the title has skewed all previous logic on its head.

Most say that now mate, but if we dont get top 7/8 there will be questions being asked. If he's spent big in the summer/January window then it'll be fully deserved. If he hasn't then it'll be harsh.

But dont rule out a lot of people turning on Koeman very early. There were loads on here and other forums who didn't want him and wanted someone like FDB. It wont take them too long to remind everyone of that fact neither.

 

[davek]

Is that fella he fluked when he rang Chelsea up for Damba Ba?

Anyway, we all saw Lukakus thought on Martinez.

"Is this a piss take", no Rom, thats the sound of defeat.

...and everyone who laughed along with him will be calling him all the names under the sun if/when he jumps ship.

It's all very fickle. I cant be doing with it meself.

I seem to remember Dave about RM. If his period came to grief you would acknowledge he was not good enough as a manger of our club, not heard anything on those lines from you. In fact you kept on muttering about the first season and two cup semis inthe last season but avoided talk of the crap performance in the PL in the last two seasons.

So how about giving RK the same sort of lee way?

Lol, you think the last four weren't worth the cash paid? Wow.
