Bill Kenwright was sat in the directors box, he saw what we saw, so why is this man still in a job?

16 Oct 2017 07:42:57
Get anchaloti In while he is still available.

People need to give there heads a wobble Koeman is a world class manager with world class players at his disposal things can't change over night the league title isn't out of sight yet and we are definitely better than Liverpool this year. Positive thoughts and back the team. I honestly think that any club in this league could pick players from our team to fit into their 11 they would pick all 11 of ours. We have 6 word class players and about 5 bordering world class for Christ's sake. Anyway onwards and upwards The mighty Everton exists to win trophies and that will come.

You make rubbish sound like a million pounds! Your a legend big ev.

Is there another Koeman managing a different team? I admire your optimism mate but to state he is a world class manager with world class players at his disposal is stretching it a bit. Six world class players? And another five bordering that? Crazy talk! There is no doubt that we have some talented players but the manager isn't getting the best out of them. His system, if there is one, hasn't worked in many games so far. A world class manager would be able to change things around to find a solution to this crisis. Instead RK is going down the same route as the man he replaced, his stubbornness is there for all to see. Admittedly, he took out Williams and Martina but it only goes to show that the system is flawed more so than the players. It was another dull performance with little to get excited by. I hate the reds as much as they hate us but to say we are better than them is blinkered at the very least. Something needs to change at the club, whether that be replacing the manager or ditching the director of football position. I don't know what the answer is but it's glaringly obvious that things can't just continue to amble along.

Koeman is a world class manager? this must be a wind up? are you Koemans DAD lol.

15 Oct 2017 19:06:20
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and it's great that sites like this enable us to express ours. However, Big Ev, I could not agree LESS. RK has to go, and soon! We do have some excellent players, but, under RK, they look anything but. You'll probably disagree with my opinion, but I feel we have to get Sean Dyche in soon, before our season is already written off.

15 Oct 2017 19:24:48
Wow people calm down we will get better this year and Sean dyche shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as koeman. We have the best manager out there just need time for these world class players to gel. And to say we aren't better than Liverpool is just mental we are lightyears ahead of them none of there players touch our 11. Onwards and upwards we will win a trophy this season.

15 Oct 2017 19:44:39
6 world class players. never, talent yes, and decent international s, but aside Gana and Pickford, there are no world class players imo. decent. but not world class. And on what basis is rk a world class manager ( I won't repeat things we've all said about pace width, and playing players in wrong position) , what has he won? I think too many are confusing rk the manager for rk the player. who was world clasd.

15 Oct 2017 20:25:27
Guys it’s clearly a windup account from a supporter across the park. Ignore him.

15 Oct 2017 23:04:06
Agree with CToffee. Total windup merchant there.

15 Oct 2017 23:40:48
Please don't insult my intelligence I am a lifelong blue who sees everything for what it is. We have the best manager in Europe and probably in top 5 squad in Europe onwards and upwards. Our squad has 6 world class players in pickford Keane schniederlin rooney gueue.

16 Oct 2017 09:41:08
think its your head needing the wobble mate what the heck.

16 Oct 2017 11:24:28
Agreed wblue.

16 Oct 2017 12:16:57
Re the -big -Ev
Just seen someone entering his house in a white coat and straight jacket
Just keeping it light hearted but never heard anything so crazy you must be a red
We have brill players but RK won't play them
Insulted others It's all his own fault and I the meantime ruining my club I supported for 60 years.

When ronald defended himself in the pre Brighton press conference. he mentioned how Burnley had done well at the top teams this year. but they were assembled for sixpence in comparison with our outlay. You don't expect all the signings to gel at once, but you expect something way better than what is being shown. Not all those signings were wrong decisions. some will prove good buys. but to buy Schneiderlen seemingly to play with Gueye still seems odd and to buy Sigurdsson after getting in Klassen and Rooney ditto. What was the plan one wonders. But to keep on leaving out Lookman and Mirallas while persisting with the one paced Gylfi and Rooney seems senseless. Calvert Lewin will get better and better with games and if we had a manager who could just gee up the players. something better would be dished up. But Koeman at present looks a bit like Fabiola Capello with England. cold, diffident, unable to inspire. We don't need a second Klopp but at least he transmits something to the players and crowd besides frustration. though I wasn't in favour of his buys from swansea and United I had high hopes over koeman but at the moment you can't see him changing his stubborn approach to picking an unbalanced side. Feel sorry for the travelling fans but without good reason I still hope an evening game at goodison on Thursday can get the adrenalin going again. It's just hard to imagine things turning around fast unless someone in the back room staff has the nerve to say. Ron out of the assortment of players you have at your disposal you can still pick a decent side. just go for it or you will be thinking of christmas in Amsterdam.

15 Oct 2017 10:29:39
Hi Eds, Do you think if we lose today that's it for Ron? Who do you think wull replace him? i'm hoping he can turn it around myself.

{Ed025's Note - koeman is running out of time charlie, not good enough again today and i dont know how much time he can be given mate, who might come in will depend on who is available when the deed is done..

15 Oct 2017 17:29:44
Give the job to Unsy till the end of the season, he can do no worse than Koeman and he knows the Club and super U23's inside out.

15 Oct 2017 20:15:51
Unsy is our best ever manager with a 100% win rate with the first team squad :)

15 Oct 2017 16:18:41
So yet again no width centre back at full back baines no longer at the races 2 holding midfield no brains to pass a ball forward Rooney no longer a number 9 and centre forward playing wide left when he's right footed all this and we still call for patience well I'm not one of them get rid of boring arse or it will be too late to salvage anything from this impossible situation I'm not a kid I'm 61 and love everton but in 5 weeks he's put me off going and watch my beloved everton could someone please see sense and end this debacle before it spirals out of control thankyou efc forever coyb.

15 Oct 2017 16:23:40
He needed to leave 2 weeks ago boots. the team does not equal the some of their parts and it's mainly due to RK.

15 Oct 2017 17:00:13
Schneiderlin awful. I echo what some others have said, where was Lookman? We need width, it is as simple as that. If we had the same back 4 (Garbut eventually for Baines) Gueye, Lookman/ Mirralas, Sigurdson, Vasic, Rooney/ Sandro, Calvert Lewellin, I am convinced that side would grow in confidence and get us the points.

15 Oct 2017 17:05:47
Yeah maybe jcl but it's got to happen sooner or later and sooner the better for me.

15 Oct 2017 17:13:26
I hope your right boots. the longer he's there, the longer he'll pick the same pedestrian side with boring tactical game play. and the more defeats well get. we look a shadow of last year's team. gut wrenching.

15 Oct 2017 18:00:46
Koeman seems to have an ego problem he sticks dogedly to players and a system that's not working because he signed them Players have to bed in but they still have to earn the right to play. While he was right to criticise Barclay he was wrong to do it publicly he slags players off in the press when he should do it on the training ground. If he takes a strop with a player their out with no way back when its his job to get the best out of what he, s got. If he, s a great coach why did he not get the best out of Barclay and Delafou. Koemans teams have predictable and the easiest in the premiership to defend against. I am not a fan of short termism but he, s not the right man for Everton. You could do a lot worse than David Unsworth who better to bring through the great pool of young talent.

15 Oct 2017 15:43:36
Pickford. (GK)

Holgate (RB) jags (CB) Keane Baines (lb)

Bloody hell, I know Rome wasn't built in a day, but I bet they had an Aldi or Lidl up! We haven't even got a netto open!

15 Oct 2017 16:01:27
Ace post Dannyp. By the time we get anywhere football will be Something schools talk about in history books. If he doesn’t get the sack maybe our board are not the shrewd bunch they claim to be.

15 Oct 2017 12:25:38
Headline from red echo Cuco Martina is surprised by playing time he has had. We are all surprised Cuco 😂😂😂.
