Ronald Koeman discussion

[orly]

I am starting a count from today

1: day(s) too many that Koeman has been at Everton. (I'll let him have Sunday as day 0)

Holgate has impressed more at RB than CB though if we're being honest

Smacks of "square peg, round hole" to try and force him back into the middle now

Keeping one of Jags/Williams in the middle means you have a good mix of the experience between Jags/Williams/Baines and the youth of Holgate/Kenny/Keane

Pick two from each of those categories IMO

The stick used to beat Holgate was always...He's a CB playing FB, what do you expect = Sq peg/round hole...you can't change that plea now.
The Future is Kenny/Colman(if fit) Holgate, Keane Baines(for now)
Except for the few games shoe horned in at FB Holgate has been amassing CB theory and practice into his muscle memory for 10 yrs. Williams and Jagielka have experience true...but once the legs can't cash the cheques the brain writes it's all over.

He is going nowhere unless an absolute disaster happens, judging by the way we are playing it's not out of the question. Apart from Cuco I was happy with all the signings. The question begs how long should we persevere without Koeman facing serious questions. Do we give him a few games after the winter window to get the striker he want in? Even with a new striker, struggling to see what formation he will play.

A good cup run, any of them, is maybe the best we can hope for this season but what happens in the latter stages when the likes of Spurs and Chelsea are more than likely the type of opponents we will face; Who would have any confidence of winning those matches? It's a strange start to a season that promised so much.

The Bournemouth and Burnley games at home have now become crucial

He'll get a pass for United away so long as it's not embarrassing. They are the champions elect after all

the few hours a week he deigns to be there

Noticed how he always has his press conf at 2pm? cos he has such a busy morning

- 11am wake up, oooh schleeepy
- 11.30am big dutch breakfast, hmm yummy
- 11.30 till 13.45 shout at ross

 

[degsy]

No need to name names when they reveal themselves at will.

just lovin your work mate, you're up there with the greats, they make it look effortless too, just like you do.

That's his second favourite part after the breakfast

 

[Lanolin]

Everton is the only team that started 7 new players this week. Including the entire front 4. Did anyone else's start that many new players and their entire attacking team lining up for the first time in a game? Against a team many think has the top 11 in the whole league.

Pickford
Keane
Martina
Klaassen
Siggy
Rooney
Sandro

I am not saying to be happy with how we played. I am asking for some perspective!

I have perspective.

I don't want the manager sacked, I'm not saying we should have 12 points, I don't think we should be playing like 1970 Brazil. I simply think we should be doing considerably better than we currently are, and some of the excuses being put forward as to why we're not are excruciating.

Frandel?

Im team Ronny, its like Davy K all over again, we are destined to fit on opposite sides this season, remember your training young padawan.

 

[Albertini78]

One massive improvement would be to drop Martina and go with Holgate or Kenny, as well as switching to a back four

I'd say go 4-4-1-1 with DCL as the striker with one of Rooney/Sigurdsson/Klaassen playing behind him

Seen the extended highlights and thought the selection of Martina and Williams were strange mind

Will embarass the special one with Cuco's goal...

He eats his big breakfast in one second, or does he shout at Ross while eating it?

Probably the latter the bad tables manners gremlin

I want Koeman to be sacked thus fulfilling the prophecy and resurrecting Davek

Martina made sense in that unlike Holgate, he's actually a right back. Should have been hauled off at HT though, no question.

He died for Ronnys sins, he will be reborn.
