Ronald Koeman discussion

[Steve Wigan]

In the second half against the RS last night Slimani (?) played the striker role exactly the way we need someone to play the role at Everton.There are loads of specialist strikers knocking around, but posters on here seem to expect that we can 'replace Lukaku'...that will not and can not happen...we can get a couple of decent strikers ,though as long as we don't dismiss possibilities out of hand because we are perpetuating a myth that they are 'not good enough for Everton'

Am i missing something here? They say we didn't try to get a striker and Everton demand an apology???
Please tell me this a wind up!!!

It's embarrassing really. The amount of nonsense all sports media spout any team could ask for an apology every day.

I just don't get it mate. They've talked plums about us for years. Brazil saying he lives next to a sheikh in Canary Wharf and he told him he's buying us etc etc. Jim the tit white spouting crap every other day about us....and now they demand an apology???
It's embarrassing...it's also a bit weird to me.

Its ever since we got angry birds on our sleeve, we are angry now.

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.

We're shipping goals like they're going out of style, like. Worst GA in the prem.

We're certainly a different beast. Wish we'd get angry on the pitch for a change.

I don't believe for a second that Koeman lacks commitment or professionalism.

Clubs that sack their managers as a kneejerk response to a few defeats end up like Villa, Sunderland, Palace or Birmingham.

We will get better. Koeman has a far better record in the Premiership than any other manager we could attract anyway.

He is going mate one way or another it will be done before his contract is up - he fundamental flaws in his management style and execution will quickly undo him after a few wins against bottom of the table teams.

and for the record, I really expected a lot this season but the manager and the board blew it up.

I think he'll be here until the end of his contract at least.

Possibly. Because of set pieces.

I forgot set-pieces don't count

When does the manager transfer window close?

I agree with this and stated as such in the transfer thread. Replacing lukaku is not possible as he's now pretty much a world class striker who plays for one of the biggest clubs in the world. There's no way we'd be able to get in someone of his calibre because who out of lewandowski, benzema, etc etc would ever choose to come to Everton?

What we do need is someone to fill the gap whilst an up and coming player starts to hit the same heights that lukaku did, gradually.

 

[CerberusFX]

We haven't played any of those teams yet? You said if we were manager-less we'd have done better than we had so far so I listed away games we've already played.

I'm not just on about this season, do keep up.
