Ronald Koeman discussion

[Bluecranks]

I can't be arsed wasting a fume on media bias, especially on that audible rag that is Tossport, but this amused me - they have some clickbait nonsense about EPL managers in order of honours won. Koeman comes 7th (with 3 x Dutch Leagues, 1 x Dutch Cup, 1 x Spanish Cup) one place behind Klopp - who scrapes into the top 6 with 2 x German Leagues and 1 x German Cup. Thus turning the laws of basic arithmetic upside down in the name of keeping the [Poor language removed] in the 'Big 6'.

Post-match conferences don't get enough coverage because of the embargo stuff. He readily admits here that he made a mistake with the system in the first half.

Progression under 3 managers:

Last line up Moyes

Howard
Coleman
Distin
Jagielka
Baines
Mirallas
Gibson
Osman
Pienaar
Fellaini
Anichebe

Last line up under Martinez

Robles
Pennington (Coleman injured)
Stones
Funes Mori
Baines
Barry
McCarthy
Cleverly
Barkley
Mirallas
Lukaku

Last line up under Koeman

Pickford
DCL (Martina)- Coleman injured
Williams
Jagielka
Keane
Baines
Schneiderlin
Gana
Rooney
Sandro
Klaassen

with Sigurdsson to come

Basically the entire Martinez era erased and expensively replaced.

Time will tell if we have actually improved or not.

This centre forward he's going to bring in will be absolutely pivotal to the big orange bears success or not at Everton.

Bring in a dud and it's hello mediocrity.

It's arguably the biggest call of koeman's time here. Get it right and we can seriously challenge for the top 4, get it wrong....

 

[Deulofeumygod]

i may have misheard but did he say Sandro is a doubt?

 

[Connor]

i may have misheard but did he say Sandro is a doubt?

Yep, injury doubt

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Yep.

"nah it's difficult"
"but ok"

Koeman 101

Do reporters @Connor not even listen to the questions asked previously? Koeman gave the Barkley / Hadjuk answers, then the next reporter asked the exact same question. Wasn't even the translated questions.

Genuinely, no. They all ask the same questions.

It's a media tactic. They want answers and they can see that Koeman is getting pissed. Maybe they are trying to provoke a reaction? Either way Koeman is composed enough to avoid those questions.

 

[blueblue]

yes we dud...and your Freudian slip aptly described the original team selection and overall performance...a better team than Stoke would've battered us.
Hadjuk would not have been Splitting themselves at the prospect.

The respect you should give to Any Prem Team notwithstanding, do you see City and Chelsea quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing us if Koeman still wants to over thinking every game...before finally seeing the bleedin obvious.

He's got away with it so far due to the averageness of the opposition.

He may have the solution...but only if he sees that, at the moment, he's part of the problem...If he does have the solution to hand, he'd better whip it out quick.

You don't think so?
DCL at Wing-back - *rests case.

Are you serious ?

He'd have kept Lukaku if he had a choice.

Funes Mori is also out injured, he may have a future here still.

McCarthy almost permanently crocked.

Barry was 36, like.

Cleverley was crap and rightfully binned.

Barkley also injured, as well as being a prize bellend.

 

[flibbyflob]

Genuinely, no. They all ask the same questions.

Sometimes trying to get a bit extra from him he may have forgotten to say before that he thought of after.
