People are skipping that first bit and think by sacking koeman a new manager will be like Houdini and score us the goals

Maybe they'd switch it up a bit. Two up top, some width and pace maybe? Actually use Lookman - or other talented youngsters that are getting jibbed off for the utter tosh he keeps playing week in week out, not play two DMs every game. Just an idea.

The main issue there is no lukaku or indeed any striker at all to solve the most pressing issue so I could see us seriously struggling the next few games as well

Koeman asked for a starting striker. Walsh and the board failed.

We are playing the lesser teams at home from now on so see how things turn up. The team needs the support.

Is this a good time to point out Everton have played Man City, Chelsea, Spurs and Man United in the first 5 games of the season? Or too soon? Today's game was very encouraging and the scoreline flattered United.

We drew with Spurs home and city away last season.

Koeman was appalling until Christmas when lukaku and Barkley starting firing. He was bailed out effectively.

With hindsight that might not have been a bad idea???

No we don't know yet because first he got 7th last season and secondly we are not in May 2018 and rotting in the mid-table.

Have we got two to go two lol I agree mate on some points with the width and keep the same team etc but sacking him
Won't solve the same underlying issue

No we are in nearly October and among the worst teams in the league.

The funny thing is mate that in nearly all the games this season the score line has flattered us, Chelsea should have had 5, Spurs took their foot off the gas and should have had 5 or 6, Atalanta who have had a poor start to their season and had to sell their best players this Summer, could have had 7!

And? Hate to say this but those four teams are some ways ahead of Everton at the moment. Spurs team has been together for what three or four seasons now? While Everton have a lot of new boys still getting used to eachother.

Not too early especially, to a club that's spent over £150m but forgot to buy a striker.

Its definitely a good time to point out that if you find 4-0 defeats 'encouraging' then things have gone very, very wrong.

Calvert-Lewin 100% has to start every game. Rooney up top alone just isn't cutting it.

I heard a fan on 5 live comparing our situation to the Martinez one. I think we are some way from that situation. I remember last season we went on a 10 game winless run with the getting beat by teams such as. Bournemouth, Swansea and Watford along the way. These teams included Barkley and Lukaku so the problem presently isn't a simple one to solve. I admit we have a problem presently but squad wise we are in better shape now than in previous years. It may take until Christmas again for Koeman to find the correct recipe and I agree the team requires more shape but we need to stick together and I'm confident we will win the Bournemouth game. I also hope kenny gets an opportunity on Wednesday to stake his claim as our 1st choice right back.
