Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

The following is a list of games which were either unacceptable performances/throwing points away from 2015/16:

Watford H 2-2 Opening day, we looked still on hols Second half we tore into them.
Manchester United H 0-3 Lay down and got spanked. Entirely understandable given the shock of HK's death.
Bournemouth A 3-3 Threw away a 2 nil lead, and then conceded in the 97th minute Ref played 98 minutes in a 87 minute game.
Norwich A 1-1 Battered them first half then played like a pub team second half How was that 'unacceptable'? Away from home and dominate a team.
Leicester H 2-3 Defended like fools. No problem with that.
Stoke H 3-4 THE ENTERTAINERS AREN'T WE No problem with that.
City A 3-1 Threw away a 3-1 agg league with diabolical defending and a daft kone sub Unacceptable to reach a SF of a cup and go out to the team we meekly tried to fend off yesterday? Ok.
WBA H 0-1 Gash No problem with that.
Swansea H 1-2 Pathetic No problem with that.
West Ham H 2-3 OH MY WORD WHAT ON THE EARTH WAS THE NIASSE SUB ABOUT No problem with that.
Arsenal H 0-2 could have been 12 No problem with that.
Liverpool A 4-0 How he was not sacked I have no idea. The worst game ever. No problem with that.
Watford A 1-1 Dross Watford playing well, a point away was acceptable.
Palace A 0-0 PHENOMENAL Palace away and take a point? All day long.
Leicester A 3-1 They'd been on the lash for a week/coke if you're Jamie Vardy No problem with that.
Sunderland A 3-0 Hilariously bad No problem with that.

Hopefully we can improve on some of these results this season and climb the table. Other than those games it was a pretty good season tho. No 72 points but the media loved us so not to worry.

Half of them I agree on, the other half you're having a laff...and if Ronald McDonald did it in those games this year you'd wave it through.

They're a different proposition at home in fairness, but watching them today they looked mince

Ha Ha Ha.

Ha Ha Ha.

And your point is?

Stopped reading after you said we tore into Watford second half and then put the 3-0 home humping by United down to HK's passing


Pathetic

If we cannot attack them and win away then we are an unbalanced side!
I know the best the other lot bu they did have only two attacks our defence is good enough to attack poor teams!

 

[Brennan]

Using Howard Kendall's death as an arguing tool is a disgrace.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

The relationship between senior players and manager broke down. A story as old as football itself and never can the manager survive when that happens.

That is by definition poor management.

Of course it is. But it takes two to tango.

He had to go. There was no choice in the latter by the end.

I'll want him sacked too if there's a similar repeat. I support Everton not everton managers.

Ronald McDonald?

Christ Dave, you're better than that?

True. Anyway Koeman, I think he's doing alright so far. If we get to Christmas still in touch with European places , then let's see if the board can finally back a manager adequately.

 

[granter79]

Happy with the progress we are making. Keep it up til Xmas and see if the manager can add to what he needs.
If we had had have went all out attack yest and lost 7 3 what would the reaction have been then.
Fact is we are not a top side yet and the manager knows what the team are currently capable of more than all us fans.
Same people will continue to argue no matter what. Have to laugh really

"Palace away and take a point? All day long"

So, about that knife to a gunfight mentality thing...

Especially for Davek

Paradoxically some of the best and worst football of Everton's premier league tenure all wrapped up in one.
