Ronald Koeman insists he is not afraid of dropping the likes of Romelu Lukaku and Gareth Barry
The Everton manager spoke out as he admitted Ross Barkley was in a "difficult moment" after being substituted at half-time of Monday's win over Sunderland to compound his recent demotion by England.

Everton have made their best start to a season for a decade and remain unbeaten under Koeman, who insisted his hardline approach would extend to others in his squad if their performances fall short.

"It is not I can't change Lukaku, I can't change Barry or I can't change Barkley," said Koeman.

"If a player is not at his level and as coach you think, 'I need to do something, I need to change something', then I will change. It is not about the name on his shirt."

His Facebook is funny, every post still brings out the Saints fans, so small time, cant wait to play them!! I could understand if he did what Moyes did to us after going to United.

NOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

He is exactly what we needed, but he has a tough job due to the mess left by the last joker.

Looks like the players are impressed already though and feel like they are working for a proper manager finally, after 2 years of footballs equivalent of Upsy Daisy.

NOOOOOOooooooooooo!!!

A phenomenal moment in time that comment

You can tell we've been working on set pieces in training again

We look so much more organised

downplaying expectations a bit imo, because champions league is definitely a realistic aim.

Not really. We would have to have a perfect season in terms of performances and injuries.

I'm reserving judgement until we have played anyone of note.

 

[Walter Ego]

I had my doubts I have to say but he's won me over already.

I just want him to get 73 points, if it means we finish 17th I dont care.

I just want 73 points.

 

[Axlswhk]

All things points towards TOP of the table clash in mid October vs city. I can see us winning all games before that.

I just want 73 points.

And two cup semis in the same season, but actually getting through at least 1

You're quite right. The only team we've played is Spurs and we got away with that in the second half. The three teams we have beaten will all be in the bottom five by next May

Disagree with the sentiment, we as Evertonians have been put through two atrocious seasons, we also may get a run of 4-5 tough fixtures only picking up a couple of points, what I'm saying is enjoy it when it's going good, worry about it when it's worth worrying about.

Over the GOT years there have been numerous threads on 'next 7 fixtures' looking at games, that on paper look a good chance to pick up points and we've often ballsed it up, when this time, thus far we haven't, so I say just enjoy it and worry about the down times when and more importantly if they come.

Changes are evident. He's addressed key positions, fitness and discipline which were lacking the last few seasons. He makes decisions during the games that have a positive effect on results. You can't just reserve judgement until we've played someone of note. Koeman is an excellent manager, hopefully he sticks around and builds the team the way he wants.
