Ronald Koeman discussion

[Kev The Rat]

Out

 

[Kev The Rat]

Yes he is and you'd best get used to it cos he isn't going anywere soon.

They said that in February 2016 about Martinez

I won't get used to it...ever..and you can't make me.

You'd be better of excepting it mate. Even if you only do so very begrudgingly, he won't get the sack, Martinez was a dead man walking for mouths before he finally got the bullet. Should we string together a few results in the following games after Utd then he'll be as safe as houses. It doesn't matter what either you or I want he won't be even close to getting the sack.

Too old and too inexperienced. Recipe for disaster.

I shall name our new manager "Day-Jo". Just to be hip.

People had been calling for Martinez to go long before that. Even then he got three more mouths before he was shown the door.

I'll be honest mate, I can't even see where the next goal is coming from.
And if Utd were to hit double figures, or close, and it's not beyond the realms of possibility...he's gone.

Spot on. What is the point of having press conferences if journos don't ask the obvious questions that every supporter and everyone in football is probably asking.

Point is the journos are there by invitation.
Start rocking the boat and they may not be asked back.
One big club for the boys.
"This lad's injured, this one's 50-50 for the game. Yeah they're a strong side".
That's your lot.

I find it staggering how aloof he is

if you were very rich and you got fired tomorrow with a 10 million pay off and can go and get a job in 2 months on the manager merry go round would you be overly concerned

I'm going to be honest, I haven't taken to Koeman from the beginning but I put that aside because I wanted him to do well, and I still do. But he's done very little to make me think that Unsworth or an Eddie Howe wouldn't have been a better choice.

Second, I've been banging on about this, and I know some are tired of hearing this, but realistically we weren't going to finish top 4, and based on everything we've see that's defo not happening this year. So why not use this year as a chance to fully blood the rest of our top youngsters so that by next year and the year after they are ready to lead Everton forward?

The players he's brought in just flat out aren't getting it down, so I fail to see the downside. Not playing Kenny and at least seeing what he's got in his locker at this level is borderline gross negligence in my opinion. I could take some tough results if I thought it was part of a learning curve for the next generation, but when you've spent this much on the senior players he's brought in and they are basically crapping the bed, it's disheartening.

Again, if he is able to figure this out and turn it around, fair play I'll keep my mouth shut. But he's not doing anything to make me feel differently at this point. If you're going to be disagreeable and stubborn, you better damn well win something.

Fixed it for you.

We seem to have achieved the seemingly impossible by spending a shed load of money during the summer and in the process made every part of the team - defence, midfield and attack - worse than it was before. There doesn't seem to have been much in the way of joined up thinking involved and we seemed to go all out for a midfielder who to me should have been a much lower priority than replacing our main goal scorer. Bizarre way to go about things.

This might have been the season to give Connolly and Kenny some experience in the league.

Going by averages would that not make them just right? lol
