Ronald Koeman discussion

[MikeH72]

Let us not forget this gem from the Martinez thread.

The initial post you refer to the final twenty mins mate.

Bottom line is that for large chunks we were lucky and didn't capitalise on that luck.

And I do think Koeman pushed that luck to the edge with the subs rather than help

Moshiri hasn't got a 'kin clue mate. He thinks a man who hasn't won a sausage for a decade is a "superstar manager".

I suggest he sticks to doing what he does best: concocting BS deals for stadiums where he leaves us to pay it off for 40 years and he pays f.a. and walks off with a massive profit.

Agree with the second part of your post Dave but I honestly think if Koeman was in charge of one of the top 6 and backed with the players they're backed with he'd be well capable of mounting a title challenge

That's not my fault

Has someone pissed in your pint tonight Ian ? x

Its the same usual suspects with their rubbish on Koeman. They cannot accept that he has improved our team and its phasing out the Martinez Syndrome.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

Holgare was absolutely brilliant today mate

He was brilliant defensively, which is why I want him in the center. We are much better with Coleman in a back 5.

Add a comma after 'did' mate.

Apologies for using a confusing double negative - in English I meant that Jinkyali the lunatic has just said that Koeman's next club will likely be Barcelona or Arsenal which contradicted your assertion that not one Evertonian had said that.

Unless you don't believe that he's an Evertonian - personally just thing he's nuts.

*think

Everton conceding in the 94th minute may have irritated him a bit mate. Not delighted him like some others.

Anyone revelling in tonight's result

Level of fume in here after conceding a Late penalty to only pick up a point at old trafford shows progress and raised expectations.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Indeed, Joey.

Taking off Mirallas and sending on a centre back was straight from the Moyes school of subbing.

And much as I am not convinced about Enner Valencia, given what we have seen if him in his limited appearances tonight's situation was made for him and he was a better option than DCL.

(assuming he was on the bench )

The only reason to bring DCL on I imagine is to see if he is capable at this level.

Win tonight and we finish 7th.
Draw or lose and we finish 7th.

The season is over so I have no problem if Koeman wants to run the rule over Pennington, DCL etc ahead of a big recruitment drive come June.

Most managers would...even Rodgers managed to near win it.

It's okay to be critical of Koeman, even if you rate him.

Even the best managers make mistakes.

 

[Khalekan]

Made some poor subs in Barkley and Mirallas, but my word I did not think we would miss Coleman THIS much. I knew we would miss him, but we are a shell of what we were down the right. Holgate is actually a solid passer, but put him in a situation where he needs to stretch the field and he is clueless. This reaffirms my thoughts that Holgate is 100 percent a CB and not a RB. He's good defensively, but we need him to do more.

Was thinking that watching both the last two games.

There is a huge hole on our right flank where Seamus used to be.

 

[Saaby]

The only criticism i would point out is the DCL sub. Personally i dont think he is good enough. Thats just ny opinion.
