Ronald Koeman discussion

[Tubey]

He got plenty more wrong than that in hindsight.

Like what? What else could he do realistically? Play the kids? Play a full strength side in every match?

 

[allanandweir]

Even Martinez beat the same opposition in this competition last season

But but but 'Rome wasn't built in a day' you'll get told on here ( probably same lot who was clapping Naismith )

 

[tim cahill]

As a lot of people pointed out, the lack of presence up top made it easy for Norwich.

Considering Rom was out we probably needed to be full strength everywhere else to make up for how much we'd struggle in that area.

We all knew that we needed a decent option as back up for Rom. It should have been sorted out in the summer.

Do me a favour. Another season where we now reluyon the FA Cup to end 21 years of sweet f.a..

Tonight is your night.

Enjoy it. Embrace it. Be it.

FNM at left back wasn't a good idea...

It was a strange call but I don't think Mori effected the outcome really.

Pack it in.

Fulham 2-1 Everton

Swansea 3-0 Everton

This is nothing new, what is new is that it's happened when we're sat comfortably in 2nd place.

Tonight was needed, as its wormed out the shithouses amougnst is, who quite appetently couldn't wait for it to go 'wrong'

 

[Mikelangelo]

We're going to win the league!

Tongue in cheek, I know but in the position we are in, I would rather see us have the space in the fixture list to consolidate that position rather than mess around in this competition and end up losing in the semis again...

 

[ianefc]

Pack it in.

No chance, when you give Koemsn the same chance you gave Martinez I will, until then the vaults are my friend.

 

[maccavennie]

he's tried to give a few players a chance, it's backfired because the players he gave a chance to were absolutely crap. Shocking lack of depth and quality shown up tonight and lack of competition in key areas.

 

[Tyarris]

Emery would have won that.

 

[tim cahill]

Like what? What else could he do realistically? Play the kids? Play a full strength side in every match?

He could have replaced any of about 5 of them at half time.
He could have played Davies.
He could have played Kone.
He could have played Oviedo.
He could have tried 2 up front.
He could have made less changes.
Etc...
I could go on. The point is we lost 2-0 at home to Norwich. Koeman is far from blameless.

 

[nsno-chris]

Let's see them put a performance in like thar after they go for a 10 mile beasting tomorrow by big ron

 

[ToffeeTim]

I suspect he knows already, but if not, he will quickly learn you can't bin off cups to maintain merely a decent league position at Everton.

We need a trophy so badly.

Tonight is your night.

Enjoy it. Embrace it. Be it.

lol

50% of our season apparently

He positioned himself nicely beforehand
