Ronald Koeman

[Khalekan]

Didn't they beat us 2-0 the year before

Indeed they did.

It was during that mid winter slump we had after we had beaten Wolfsburg and all things still seemed possible under Bobby.

Wasn't that the game when even though we were 2-0 down, Bobby never made a substitution?

One thing bugging me, and I know it's petty, is that Martinez' Everton side beat Koeman's Southampton side twice last year.

and they lost 0-6 to liverpool in league cup! one offs i hope...

 

[Jags..class]

Geting thrashed 6-1 by Klopp at home worries me more tbh!

But then he came back from 2 nil down to win 3 2 against klopp in his next game against the rs plus Koeman put his hands up on that defeat and learnt from it.

 

[Mogwai]

Yeah but Martinez beat us pretty good in the cup

 

[Jags..class]

Why do some of our fans focus on the negatives and not the positives.

 

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

He needs to leave Southampton and not tell Sammy Lee where he is going!

Learned from a defeat,that's a big step forwards from RM.

We had the chance of top 4 if we beat them away two years ago and produced the most horrific away performance I've seen live.

Koff Everton you bottlers.

Was that not Bobby's first season?

When Pochetino wax still in charge down there?

Seamus scored an own gial in the first minute.....and I think Alcaraz did the same ten minutes later

 

[Groucho]

Just the once, Groucho.

Saints drew at Goodison.

They outclassed us that day, though

So they did.

 

[Groucho]

Martinez's Wigan thrashed us in the FA Cup.

Fair point.

 

[longers]

and they lost 0-6 to liverpool in league cup! one offs i hope...

he's played liverpool 11 times as a manager, lost 6, drawn 2, won 3

meh

 

[Groucho]

So

Well, we saw how bad we were. He could't beat a poor Everton side.

 

[davids]

Yeah but Martinez beat us pretty good in the cup

And then they were relegated.

 

[neil999]

btw if monchi is ambitious i can see him wanting to leave and not being that bothered if emery doesnt come with him

Have to admit to not being entirely sold on Koeman but it would be quite funny to confound articles like this from yesterday by Sam Wallace.

There is a growing confidence at Southampton that the old order so rudely shaken up by Leicester City is changing for them too. For instance, Everton’s interest in appointing Ronald Koeman was considered so unlikely to tempt the Southampton manager that key figures at the club cannot recall there even being a meeting about it. The polite answer being that they would not expect to lose a player to Everton, and certainly not their manager.

It would be no surprise, in fact, if Koeman, with one year left on his deal, were to sign a new contract at Southampton over the next few months. The club are realistic enough to know he would not necessarily stay for the duration of any new deal but for now they feel their shrewd Dutch manager is happy with life and acknowledges the benefits of being at such a well-run club.

That's because same Wallace is a bitter little mutant who has forgiven Everton for not selling Baines despite him going to town in a article saying that Baines had demanded a move.
