Should we sack Koeman?

[sam of the south]

Agreed

It will take months - Koeman or no Koeman

Vlasic is gelling

Ron did say that his priority was a left footed defender and striker

And we didn't manage to offload players that we intended to sell - Barkley, Robles, Niasse, Mirallas - unsettling

 

Glad we didn't offload Niasse; we'd be in the relegation zone.

Not necessarily - if we had sold him and bought a striker that Ron asked for, we could have been banging them in

I hardly think the fate of Oumar Niasse was the deciding factor in us bringing in a quality striker.

[BlueForYou]

Not what I'm saying

Niasse was/is on his way out

Irrespective of Niasse, Koeman wanted a striker - he didn't get one

[Ross]

The fabled “striker” wouldn’t make our defence solid, he wouldn’t bring discipline to our defensive midfielders, add guile to our creative players or bring width and pace to team.

No manager in the league has their perfectly balanced squad, we however do seem to be the most unbalanced and disorganised team around at the moment.

If that's his typical mid season form we're screwed, we're still in the first quarter of the campaign.

I feel sorry for Koeman really.

Though I think he could be doing better with the hand given to him, it's not an easy one. We still have a decent - if imbalanced - squad though. Koeman's struggled to incorporate the new arrivals, which isn't helped by his chopping and changing the team. You'd imagine the lack of training time at Finch Farm with midweek games is hindering him too, but that's an excuse. He should know much more about what the players are capable of at this point.

It's definitely possible to succeed playing in both the league and Europa League. Good teams do it every season, the problem is good teams usually have predictable starting 11s and he's without 3 of our best players from last season.

I have read over many threads how Ronald Koeman has changed over the past few months. Looking at him last night compared to the Stoke game there really is a significant image change. He really is beginning to show that the pressure isn't doing him any favours. I think that he looks really ill and gained about 10 years in age.

There's umpteen Koeman threads this could have gone in, we don't need another discussing his facial hair etc.

I don't feel sorry for him at all as he is a clueless cunt . His buys have to all intense and purposes been shite to average . Our style of play is shite to average as are the excuses being peddled for Koeman . Whine about the team needed time to gel then stop fucking changing it every week . This to me is the point he has failed completely and utterly to get a tune out of any combination of the players he has bought in to the club . Idrissa Gueye given his price is the only decent recruit . The rest look woefully over priced . He deserves lynching for naming that fucking yard dog Ashley Williams as captain of our club not to mention breaking the club record to bring in possibly his most talked about target Gylfi Siggurdsson . I would love us to beat Arsenal but if we don't then he has to go as hand on heart he is going to do more damage than Martinez . Moshiri might want to bury his head in the sand but the fume at Goodison will pretty soon make him act . Koeman only signed for 3 years so no big deal fucking him off 18 months early . Give it to Unsworth while we try and bring in someone who at least has a decent reputation as a coach like Thomas Teuchel .

Roberto had a full head of hair before he took the Everton job

[hackersunite]

This wasn't a hate Koeman comment, this was a "look how he has changed in a short period of time" Comment.

[Macca77]

Press conference update :- He's had a shave

Poison chalice which Moyes unbelievably held for 10 years .
