Welcome the real Ronald Koeman, was wondering when you would show your face.

OK what are the drama queens bleating on about today?

Him not picking a few youngsters who they want picking, despite not really seeing that much of them play really.

Nice. Another very rare example of genuine itk info to follow the Onyekuru spotted at the airport from a few weeks ago. Two in one summer. Must be a record. You also mentioned that Kenny was ahead of Connolly. What does that mean given that they play in different positions?
Perhaps it's RK just trying to push Connolly out the door as part of the Gylfi deal. RK is one ruthless mf. He best get the results given the incredible backing his vision is getting. If Connolly is sacrificed and goes on to become a top player that's going to grate like hell.

I think right back is his favourite position and it's where he has played first team competitive games but he can play anywhere across the back and in midfield. Players like him often become victims of their versatility, unfortunately.

But ok, here are the prediction of the media.

Football365 - 7th
Guardian - 7th
Sky - 7th

Anymore?

Football365 says... 7th

I can see a theme emerging here

I mean, it's not an unreasonable prediction like...

Nope, it's the sane one in all honesty

On paper we look like we might close the gap on the top 6 from last season, but it's perfectly logical to suggest we might not have enough to catch them yet

Plus we'll have The Europa League (hopefully) on top of that, so 7th seems a reasonable bet. As long as we're only a few points off the teams in 5th and 6th (maybe even 4th), I'd take that, as long as it was accompanied by a few good cup runs and (ideally) a trophy

FFS The season hasn't even kicked off and Everton is 7th on all the tables I've seen.

Ronald Koeman's brother looks like Alan Titchmarsh

 

[Kev The Rat]

This man is on the hot seat from day 1 imo and rightfully so.

What I saw at the back end of the season and these first 2 games fills me with absolutely no confidence whatsoever.

He's brought in no striker and lost pace in the form of Lukaku and Barkley

God he has signed some crap

Style doesn't always win games.

Fine he had better win a lot of them though because this kind of football will get extremely frustrating without a lot of victories.

As I said this man must be on the hot seat from day 1. Anything less is unacceptable - he cannot get a free pass here.

Who's giving him a free pass?
