Ronald Koeman discussion

You say that, but I don't think we bought anywhere near enough players in the summer. We should have a new centre forward, another centre back, and a left back to also bed into the team.

True.

It's why another prove quality CF had to be sorted and it's a disgrace it wasn't.

If we at least had goals or the chance to mix it up etc, then it'd give the players more time to settle without the pressure of where the next goal is going to come from.

Well, we shouldn't have outlaid such an amount of money to not at least hit the same finish as last season, mate.

Top 6 isn't unrealistic. But, it's going to be extremely tough. We need to find a way of playing and some consistency pretty quickly, either way.

True enough, but the amount (130mill£) bourght us, almost an intierly new team, plus a lot of U23 players. That is not soo bad.

The next two transfers, should ad a striker and a replacement for Bains, perhaps sell two midfielders, and the upcomming seasons will be full of hope.

Top six is realistic, i agree. Given the players we have, is should be possible

Season 1 - Good.
The introduction of a few new players gradually, but hampered by long term injuries to Coleman and Bolasie which made it more difficult, plus the only back up strikers to Lukaku being Kone and Valencia, yet still got into Europe and made Goodison a bit of a fortress again, so all in all I would say a success.

5 league games into season 2 - Poor so far.
An influx of new players through the spine of the team and the loss of our top goals outlet from last season have made life a bit trickier. But the introduction of some real quality into the squad will hopefully see them gel sooner rather than later.

Gylfi covered more ground than any other midfielder in the PL last season, Gana made more tackles than any other. I can see what he is trying to do here, that is put some solid performers into the side and watch them flourish.

Not really giving him a fair crack of the whip some of you, are you?

he's trying to make us hard to beat but our defense isn't good enough to get consistent clean sheets and we have no goal threat.

But Boberto also has the Least home wins in our history trophy!

Ronks eying up the worst away record cup though

He has added 2 players to the back 4 who should and could be the mainstays for the next 5 years in Keane and Pickford. Sadly Williams has completely gone, Jags has a good game then a stinker, and the right back spot is still unsettled until Coleman comes back, whilst not having cover for Baines is really poor.

I believe the goals will come and the back 4 is more of an issue at present.

I'd rather see a "control and influence a game" stat than someone who runs loads stat

So on top of that, 9 goals and 14 assists not good enough for you?

Oh well, you must have ridiculously high standards as it pisses over anything any other midfielder we had on the books!

Set. Pieces.

It's well documented Barkley has more influence from open play than our £45mill man.

So until we get a big man up top, I'll be surprised him hitting those numbers this season.

Sadly I agree with this.

Love Gylfi but we *NEED* a target man for him to be effective both from open play and set pieces, imo.

OK mate.

He probably won't hit those figures, but willing to bet he still surpasses barkley's mighty 5 goals and 8 assists.

Possibly. Because of set pieces.
