Ronald Koeman discussion

[arminisgod]

It's hard to deny that he has improved the defence

we have literally played 3 good sides this season. Chelsea put 5 past us, city should have put 5 past us and Spurs on the first day of the season.

Unfortunately, the shirt belongs to one Thomas Cleverley Esquire

Maybe playing direct is the system for the time being. He is asembling his squad in the next two windows or so.

If that is the case, then put Rom on the bench. He's not a target man. Kone is miles better at that role.

"Undefeated at home" mate. Soon to be the new 72...

lol

Kone will be gone pretty soon.

Kone will be gone pretty soon.

So will Rom.

If City win the FA Cup and finish in the top 4, plus United winning the EFL and finishing 6th the Europa League spot will go to 8th.

I think Man U have to win the Europa as well as EFL for 8th to get included

So will Rom.

Well that is not the point. Koeman does not rate Kone so he just won't play. And to play a striker who can't score is plain silly.

Could you even imagine it.

Would love to know how many Cleverley shirts have been sold in the official shop. Would be better putting Snivelley on the back.

This season we would have been how many years did moyes pull Europe off in a row mate ? And with basically no money ?

Moyes was here 11 years and qualified for Europe in 4 of them.

Basically no money? No. Everton's funding with Moyes (whilst never in the league of the big spenders) was above average in the PL until the roof fell in on Everton's debt after 2009. He spent a fair few quid in relation to others who were looking to grab a European spot off the top table.

Anyone who bought one is without doubt either a deluded clapper or an unfortunate namesake

Only just below that lad in the Street End who had that Moutinho shirt without a hint of irony

He cant even write 1 million correctly.

7 points from 27 on offer; I'd say he should be down at Finch Farm rather than tweeting his follower numbers.

No....it seems we are to be allotted an extra place in the EL next season.

So if the two cups are won by teams in the top seven then the 8th placed team will take a spot

However......if Hull were to win the EFL Cup and say, Sunderland the F.A. Cup, then only the 5th and 6th placed teams would go forward.

To be fair it is quite late in the evening
