Ronald Koeman discussion

[jceverton]

Im not losing patience nor changing any opinion due to this bad start. he will get us 7th I think and we will make a good shot at the Europa or a cup. i just dont like him at all and dont want him at all. as you were with RM, when you know you know.

he utterly bores me.

leaaaaaave!

I think 7th is optimistic!

Then I'm afraid your going to be very miserable for a very long time mate.

And what happens when they don't deliver on any given season? Are you going to want every manager sacked within a season should they fail to reach either of those targets?

Nah don't want sackings. Just want us to compete and to be closer to the top than we were the year before. This so far looks like regression which is not acceptable after 140m spent. That's why I'm very frustrated.

If we only get 50 points then he needs the boot. 7th is the bare minimum again this year and better cup runs.

No arguments here. Everton is all that counts, no individuals.

So only Swansea have had fewer shots on target than us.

But this one is my personal favourite. Pickford has made more passes in the last 3 games than any other player. LOL.

When you spend £200 million and turn the team into an unbalanced toothless mess losing faith quickly tends to happen.

Let's see where we are after 19 games. This has been a tough start, especially with this waste of time Europa league.

No way that side is finishing 7th

No chance he's made more passes than any outfield played, maybe more forward passes?

What???
Really?
More than anyone in our team or in the league?

Moyes reached his peak in 2013 with Everton.

Koeman maybe a Dutch Moyes but I think our squad has improved but now we have no proper striker to lead the line so getting to spend the Lukaku money isn't really mean anything with the Sky6 spenting s loads for many years adding on top of their better squads.

I actually think Moyes was at his best in 2008-09. Played some great football that season. He bottled it in a few big games but we were undone by the bad injuries to Yak, Arteta and Jags.

I'd really hoped we were aiming higher than 50 points. 50 points gets you 10th-12th.

I'm not going to kneejerk after the recent results, Koeman needs to earn his corn and sort this team out, we have signed some good players.

There are worrying signs at the way Koeman has started with selections and tactics, but let's give him a few months to sort it out, you can not expect to hit the ground running with so many new signings and the fixture list that we have, we could be a totally different outfit when we face City, Chelsea and Spurs in the return fixtures.

Allowing Lukau to leave without a suitable replacement is poor, but that is not just down to Koeman, infact he will have been well aware it was a priority for the board and Walsh to get a striker in.

Flag all you like mate, that's a disjointed mess with no focal point up front

Problem is we sold our main striker and we signed no one as replacement. We used his fee to get a couple of players. The Sky6 have been spending money for ages on top of their superior squads. £140m in one reason after losing Lukaku is nothing. We sell to buy. Unless we spent £140m and we kept Lukaku then I feel we must break into top 4.
