Ronald Koeman discussion

[Nymzee]

We currently have;

3 Full England Internationals 23/24 years old: Pickford/Keane/Barkley
6 U21 England Internationals: Kenny/Holgate/Davies/Dowell/Lookman/DCL
2 High potential Full Internationals: Vlasic/Onyekuru

David Unsworth won the u23s league last year and strengthened with a few signings including Lewis Gibson and Dennis Adeniran (England u17 /18s) and we also have others such as Connolly and Walsh on loan and unknowns such as Nathangelo Markelo (Holland u19s).


This club really has some top young players....that I don't trust Ronald Koeman with.

Problem is we're an established PL side now and no manager in the world is likely to play a lot of those at once; there's too much financial risk if it goes wrong. We could say "Unsworth will play them all" but there's no way he'd come in and bench a load of senior players with the big wages, would cause too much upset.

I don't really know what the answer is anymore to our troubles.

Let's hope Christmas comes early - like next week

I actually think this international break has come at a great time for Koeman mate.

You mean its a good time to sack him or he's going to get some breathing space?

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Has he gone yet?

I can only imagine the compensation package for being useless at the job is taking longer than expected to finalise.

Jardim from Monaco.

lol

He's been thinking about the 18 holes all day.

 

[blue to the bone]

2/5 now to be the next manager to go.

Some breathing space mate. I said it earlier, I reckon there will be a 'chat' between BK/Moshiri this week about how things can be turned around etc, then we'll have Moshiri or BK coming out saying sacking Koeman never even entered their thoughts, and Koeman's here for the long haul.

 

[Woolly Blue]

In his first three seasons of managing teams in the Premier League, he's finished seventh, sixth and seventh.
He's totally doing my head in at the moment, but that's a pretty decent record he's got there, so I'd stick with him for the moment.

 

[Darren Higgs]

Even though Koeman is getting right on my tits Matty, and week by week he has me absolutely baffled, it's Christmas for me mate.

If it was just results but we was actually playing well id say give it time. The thing is we have been poor since the start of preseason. No one knowes what the formation or style of play is meant to be.

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Losing at goodison and playing with no intensity is a sure way to get the bullet. A shambles of a performance and he looks like a manager who is completely lost.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

How can you start with Williams and Cuco the clown at the back?,Baines is bommie wood and offers nothing anymore yet is our skipper?two DMs sat there again,tactical masterstroke taking Vlasic off and bringing Davies on wide right after the other night,when you've got Lookman on the bench,bombed Jonjo Kenny out of the squad,he is slowly killing the great work of our academy,can't see any way out of this mess unless he changes his ways or the board act,he appears to be alienating himself from his players and us the supporters, ask yourself,do you think any of the clubs occupying the positions we aspire to would put up with this uninspired rubbish?No,me neither.

Man City have sacked managers who won the league because better were available.

I am disgusted that he is still Everton manager after the shambles that has been in full flow since last April!

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

He's been thinking about the 18 holes all day.

Wouldn't surprise me mate to see him on a plane to Portugal tomorrow for a nice relaxing golfing holiday.

You can get away with playing well and losing, or not playing well and scraping results. You can’t get away with insipid performances and awful results.

I can see that happening even though I think now is the time to pull the trigger.
