Ronald Koeman discussion

[APN_EFC]

Next time you go to Goodison ask Ron to sign his autograph on this , and when he asks why/
tell him he has been signing it all season!lol

something for a laugh at last lol

Flat footed Klassen are you seeing a different player than me?
he Rooney Sig fall over each other when they play!

I must be.

I watched plenty of him for Ajax and he hasn't disappointed me yet at Everton.

It'll take him time but he's a hard runner, he presses from the front (look at our goals in the EL qualifiers) and has still created more chances for us this season than anyone else!

On your second point - the bit in bold - I agree entirely. They all can't play together, unfortunately, or at least not in a front unit.

I'd like to see Gylfi rested Wednesday, and Rooney to start up top with Klaassen behind, with two wingers (or a winger and DCL) offering the support.

That's very similar to how we set-up at home against Hajduk, which was our most complete performance by far this season, as the team has balance.

Steady on Joey, you taking things a bit personally.

May I suggest a nice cup of Camomile tea and a nap ?

The person who claimed it, I do trust. I'm not lying.

But yeh, we did seem to put our eggs in the Giroud basket. To not have another 2 to 3 players lined up that were 'correct' or of the required quality is still a huge failing on the part of the people who get the deals done.

And yes we did sign strikers, I've said as much myself. But ultimately none of them are currently filling that role adequately - so many times yesterday we got into decent crossing positions, but there was nobody in the box...

Agreed.

So why not try something different instead of setting up with a system dependent on a player that we do not have?

 

[APN_EFC]

true.

Coleman and Bolasie are huge misses for this side.

They both provide pace and width but also the guile and experience needed in the Prem as well.

We looked brilliant at points last year when we had Ross as an inside forward, as he had Coleman acting as the winger from a right-back position.

I think the aim is to have a similar style as that, but it'll take time to click.

It seems so clear and obvious ...and yet we can only hope.

i think we should restyle Ross as a Centre Forward

Just watching Countdown now, and if Ronald is getting it together with Rachel Riley, I'm proud of him.

She is beautiful.

He's chucked her mate.
He was spotted last night with Taylor Swift at the Bernie inn.

Don't agree. I thought we played well for most of that game yesterday and should have been level before Williams error lead to the game effectively ending in the 83rd minute.

It was certainly an improvement on what we've served up in the last few weeks.

15 minutes from the end I was chatting with Utd fans saying it could be a draw...they were worried we might nick an equaliser. 10 minutes later it was rout...we didn't play badly at all, partly because they let us, bit we were much improved from the previous 2 weeks. Williams error killed it as you say.

1 win in a hundred against the top 6? Mate we battered city last season and also beat arsenal. The records bad enough without loony exaggerations

I did say away wins.

Man Utd - 2 since 92 (25)
Chelsea - 1 since 94 (23)
Lpool - 1 since 99 (18)
Arsenal - 1 since 97 (20)
Man City - 1 since 2010 (7)
Spurs - 1 since 2008 (9)

Total 7/109 = 6.42%

Not quite 1% but working hard at getting there.

For 2 months? hardly seems worth it.

Also begs the question, why would you sign Sandro Ramirez who is a natural striker and not use him there?

 

[jceverton]

We will sign a striker in January and finish 5th

Well at least you're more positive than Koeman, I'll give you that

 

[BlueToff]

Agreed.

So why not try something different instead of setting up with a system dependent on a player that we do not have?

But having players in the box isn't to do with the system?

It's just a general rule that you need to get in the box to score goals...

 

[eddy]

I think we looked awful again.

Yeah we had some of the ball but there was still no attacking threat and some of our passing was horrible.

Yeah I know what you mean. But by and large it was a huge improvement. I thought Rooney`s poor passes were the most noticible to be honest
Lack of threat goes back to you know what ....
Hope January we splash cash on a couple strikers but not holding my breath on that one

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Yesterday was utter gash but I'm still willing to give him a chance. Now if we start losing to Bournemouth et al, I WILL be worried.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Hahahaha is right Ronny lad give her one from me lad hahaha tell you what I wouldn't mind 5 minutes with her tbh lad I'd be lucky if I even lasted 5 minutes if you know what I'm saying Hahahaha I do lad you're mad you haha tell me about it lad I'd get locked up if I was alone in a room with her swear down lad you'd never see me again hahaha keep it up lad cheers mate nice one all the best see you around kid.

 

[Bungle]

Good to hear Aldridge on Talksport sticking the boot in as well, apparently if Ronald spent less time sleeping with ladies of the night and more time preparing his team then they might not be in the relegation zone. Hard to argue with that.
