Ronald Koeman discussion

[davek]

True the defense isn't sorted yet but you never gave Martinez any grief for two seasons worth of inept defending!

Didn't I? I think you'll find I did. Besides that, at least he knew how to set attacking football up, unlike the hoofball slop served up right now.

as an appropriate response to the dreadful mare that was the chelsea game, Koeman should commit seppuku as an sacrifice to footballing gods

Summer will see Lukaku leave for a huge fee. I then expect to see a net spend of at least £150m, seeing us spend over £200m overall. And that's an absolute minimum to update on this dross.

Koeman needs another 2 windows at least to get what he feels he needs before he can be judged.

Dave, this was exactly the same performance that we witnessed far to much last 18 months. The mentality at the club is wrong and everyone, and I mean everyone, should be shipped out and a full rebuild on.

Hold on, it was the type of performance that Koeman is said to be able to firewall us from....erm.....

Committing sudoku is quite harsh mate, c'mon...

Everton boss Ronald Koeman, to BT Sport: "They played very well, I expected more from my team. It was a big difference in every aspect.

"It was not about the system, the difference was the mentality to win the game With five defenders we control it, after 2-0 it was over.

"You have to accept sometimes n life your opponent is by far the better team.

"It is a difficult system to play against, the big difference with Chelsea is they have the winning mentality and quality on the ball. They were far too strong for Everton."

He's not in it for 'us' is he? He's a mercenary who came here to enhance his career.

I've no qualms about that, but he makes it more obvious by the week that he's got no affiliation towards us. Just strange, most manager's at least keep up the facade that they do.

Wish we had Begovic in goal tonight mate. Do you?

Would certainly be better than the clown we have in there now.

Yeah mate, cuz 1 game like this under Koeman out of 11 is defo the same as the 50-odd under Martinez for 2 years straight.

Definitely.

Yup.

But things like that just don't happen. It's logistically not possible.

Plus some Chelsea fans thought all their players were the problem but in comes a new manager and couple of key signings and they're off doing well.

We're happy with our players when they do well, and they have shown it from time to time. Just not consistently. This particular buck stops with the manager.

I agree.

Yup.

One win in 6 games. Ok mate, whatever you say.......

Look mate, id really stop throwing that clown term around for a manager who gave us our best ever season when your defending a manager who's just overseen a disaster.

To the substantial point: I am referring to a SPECIFIC aspect here: the so called "sorted defence". It's not sorted and we can all see that to be the case.

I do think Martinez is a fraud...sorry I can't stand him as he had ruined this football club and the effect is much profounded that we would imagine.

And I am referring to this very point again. Wait till May to judge (defence too) look where we finish in the league. And that for me isn't a fair assessment because he has to get his team first so this is beyond the end of May. End of next season perhaps.

'For Everton'?

 

[Del-boy]

Koeman obviously thought this team was better than it was and could match Chelsea.

He's now been shown this is not the case and he has a job on his hands.

Yeah, "fraud" blah blah blah...

All that tells me is that you have no relevant argument.
