Ronald Koeman discussion

[toffee matt]

No surprise to see the usual suspects calling for the manager to be sacked after 4 games.

The same people that are relentlessly negative about literally everything to do with Everton...

 

[Paul E]

My heads not in the sand, We're a second tier premier league club and we've been beaten by two clubs who're expected to finish above us if we start getting beat by the likes of West brom, stoke or even Leicester in the fashion that we lost those two games i'll start to worry. we're 4 games into a season with 8-9 new players. Get a grip of yourself and at least try to be realistic, it was pure fantasy that we'd be challenging for top 4 this season.

Where did I say we'd be challenging for top 4? You're making stuff up to add more weight to your argument.

Most people on here call a spade a spade.

We've been crap to date, we're struggling to break teams down including poor European teams. We carry very little threat going forward. Koeman is trying to put players in positions for....? No one knows.

He and the board have created this situation by not having a proper transfer strategy and buying 3 number 10's rather than looking after the number 10 we already had.

It's a shambles and this season will be worse than last. I'm prepared to wager with anyone regarding that.

All I want personally are to see improvements in strategy and at least getting the team playing as a team, I don't want him sacked just yet but I'm not going to stop venting my frustrations when the performances are unacceptable. There is plenty of time to turn it around of course there is but I'm struggling to see how he is going to do it if we can't even manage to get any shots at the opposition goal.

Ironic, don't cha think haha, is this not a forum for people to discuss opinions or have I stumbled upon the wrong website?

Take a banner the next game stating your outrage. That's if you've ever set foot near the place.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We're 4 games into the season ffs. Hilarious

It's only right he gets criticised for horror shows like yesterday, but any shouts for a sacking prior to November/December are mental. Let's hope we get nowhere near that stage either.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

No we are 14 months into this mans mismangement and people have seen the total lack of progress both style wise and personnel wise.

Just been looking at the squad we really have some very good players experienced and youth, yes we are missing that 'striker' but the performances/results have not been poor due to a lack of chances taken, we are just not creating any due to the fact the whole set up of the team is wrong. I'm just about still on his side, he needs to show something in the next 5 games or I will be following the masses who already want him out.. still a wee bit too soon for me to be calling for his head yet though..

Feel exactly the same mate. I dont think Williams and Bolasie were his signings either but this season there is no hiding from the fact that this is definitely his squad now.
I dont know who has sanctioned the purchase of so many central midfielders (Rooney included) while leaving the experienced No9 slot unfilled. The world and his wife knew that we needed a CF to replace Lukakku and Koeman seemed to put all of his eggs in one basket with Giroud. Why were we not looking at players like Gabriel Barbosa or Marlos Moreno instead of 23 mil for Klassen OR 45 mil for Siggy. I mean why pay a combined fee of 68 mil for the No 10 slot and then bring Rooney in as an afterthought. Sorry Ronald I really thought you were better than that, but here we are into your second season and its looking decidedly Martinezesque. We deserve better than that.

No mate I wanted him gone in December 2015.

Sorry, superfan, what a titish thing to say, I've been plenty thanks and I happen to have some opinions whilst all you can do is chuck insults around at your fellow blues. Like someone said get your head out of the sand.

Actually don't your language is bad enough as it is. The only person outraged is you dear sir, ironic again isn't it.

Fair enough. Koeman did a good job last season, but we'll see what he's made from this, as that squad is unbalanced and lacks goals

 

[ijjysmith]

He's got a point really.

I think we'd all just like it explained to us how he thought a set up like yesterday's would do anything good.

Did he do a good job last season? I wouldn't say he did.

 

[Blues Harp]

The same as he achieved with United's money

I will back him when he starts getting things right, at this moment in time and 3 transfer windows under his belt, he is not getting it right, in fact he is getting it incredibly wrong and looks completely bamboozled about how to manage a team.

He doesn't get a free pass just because he is Ronald Koeman, it's crap and he is accountable for it.

what time did you leave the ground yesterday? Not blaming you lad just asking.

The only saving grace is that the really poor performances have come against the teams that will be challenging for the title, if they were against WBA Swansea etc then my thoughts maybe different.. but then we have invested a lot of money to get closer to Spurs Chelsea etc and based on the last two games we seem further away than last season... that's down to Koeman no one else!

He finished as high as realistically possible and up until yesterday we had the best home form in the league in 2017 with 10 wins in 11.
