Koeman admits Everton are up against it in Group E

Pickford looks a good keeper but his distribution is questionable.
Keane looks stiff, nervous and out of sorts.
Gueye was brilliant until he went off to the Afcon; after that, his game has suffered because of Schneiderlin clogging up his space.
Bolasie flashes of brilliance at times but few and far between.
Vlasic is a strange one: starts games really well but seems to strangely go missing... jury out on him.
Martina another Koeman fuck up
Lookman: see Bolasie but youth on his side.
Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Klaassen, Sandro, Williams... Well let's not even go there.

Awful acquisitions and nearly –140 million pissed up the wall, in my opinion.

The rest are nothing to do with Koeman, mind:
Jagielka and Baines have been great servants but time is up now.
Calvert Lewin is all graft and endeavour but no quality.
Holgate has badly been shunted around and is never a full back but rash at times.
Besic spent more time in casualty than Charlie Fairhurst; bad buy.
Mirallas has blown hot and cold under Koeman... mainly cold.
Davies... not sure what to make of him this season but, while Ron is in charge, we won't see the best of him.
Kenny is obviously not rated by the manager...

Looks a pretty average squad to me and one, Rooney, apart looks like it won't have the required quality or bottle to pull out of trouble. The worry, and one that keeps me awake at night, is Koeman getting more money to spend in January... because this board sure as hell won't sack him.

He's a first-class bullshitter who has absolutely no idea how to turn things round. Who coaches the team? Who selects the team? Who decides what tactics to employ? Whose job is it to instill both discipline and motivation in the players?

Koeman is quick to blame anything and everyone except himself for his own abysmal decision-making and inept man-management and team selection.

I'm with the commentators last night who blatantly said that Koeman's team was bereft of ideas and motivation and that Koeman will be lucky to still be in a job by the weekend. They also said that Koeman has a 'cold relationship' with the fans, who just can't take to him whereas across the park, Liverpool fans virtually idolise Klopp.

All I want to see now is Koeman gone and to be honest, I don't think anyone could do a worse job than he has. Act now, Moshiri, before the atmosphere at Goodison truly turns toxic.

It's very rare that I agree with anything that Simon Jordan says but his comments on Sky are spot on:-

"Looking at him on the sidelines, he looks dishevelled, he looks like he's put on weight, he looks unkempt. He doesn't look like somebody that's in control of the situation.

"I think he's one of those who is quite adept at passing the blame and I know that he has quite a high opinion of himself."

Says it all

What's the ref supposed to do if players go down looking for treatment? He has to let the physio on. Was it an Everton game last year where the ref tried to call a player's bluff by not letting the physio on but then eventually had to give in?

He also doesn't look like he's put on weight to me, he's been a bit of a podgo since he arrived. Having said that, I agree that he doesn't like look he's in control of the situation, but not because of his appearance.

He also does pass the blame and singling out Klaassen, whose confidence is clearly gone, is a poor decision.

I want him gone from our club, but strangely I actually felt a bit for him last night. He tried to change things on the pitch (long overdue) and when we equalised, I thought we were going to go on and win the game. Had Sigurdsson's free kick gone in for 2-1, I think we would have.

Anyway, we lost and surely his days are running out.

Regarding Klopp, plenty of Liverpool supporters were calling for his head when they we're getting bad results last season. It's all down to results at the end of the day.

Having said that, the vast majority of our players have been absolutely fucking dreadful this season. Whether a new man can get much more out of them remains to be seen.

I honestly think we've got the potential to be a very good team (with a striker) with some very good players. What we are lacking is organisation and spirit and that is down to Koeman.

Yes, he has made a lot of mistakes and it is hard to watch , however some of the "performances" from these "Big Time "signings has been disheartening.

I noted Holgate laughing his ass off at final whistle last night after having another nightmare. (How many goals this year can be directly attributed to his schoolboy errors?) Preferred position or not, it would be hard not to want to put him through a wall were you in the dressing room with that attitude. Keane was atrocious yet again.

One of Moyes's best attributes was being able to sign and pick players with character and fight and dump those without. Unfortunately, the current crop have neither, as pointed out by Peter Reid last week

I would give him until the start of November but it will be hard for anybody to turn it around with the attitude of the likes of Holgate.

I genuinely fear for how vulnerable we are across the back and I honestly don't see us creating or scoring enough goals. We are going to have to score 40+ goals if we are going to "survive" and I really worry where they are going to come from.

Just a thought...

Ultimately this management lark is not rocket science. You look at the players you've got,get rid of the ones you don't want and buy the ones you want and can afford,throw in the youngsters to supplement then decide on a team with a formation and style of play.

It's no good playing from the back if the players aren't suited to that. Play a style which suits the players.

It's no good playing Davy when he is so out of sorts – let Unsy sort him out in the U23s while he gets some form and confidence back.

Our buying is like sending a child to buy food for dinner- he will buy the food he likes with no thought as to whether it will blend together to make a nice meal. Whoever is responsible for Rooney, Sigurdsson and Klaassen all coming in needs shooting.

Why leave no cover at left back and end up last night with decent wingers attacking makeshift fullbacks?It all seems so basic.

We all got excited early on in the summer with some early buys but it has gone very sour and when you lose your enthusiasm to watch because you are embarrassed to hear others slate the club it is a poor state of affairs.

Ronald cannot hope to unite the players when he constantly criticises them in public – the great managers never did this- he seems clueless to me. Surely a bad defeat against Arsenal will be curtains for him and maybe Walsh too if he is responsible for the unbalanced signings.

Very disheartening times!

I take no notice as his comments are ludicrous now, he has been found out. Unfortunately, not all great players make great managers; he is wearing the cloak of a charlatan!

Koeman has to go and take his excuses with him. Time for a change before it's too late. Once we're in The Championship, it will be a very hard task to be promoted.

Blackburn, Luton, Sheffield Wed, Wigan, Portsmouth, Leeds Utd... and many more.

This may seem negative, well it's supposed to be. Can anyone see any positives in this club?

Oh and forget Bramley-Moore – it won't happen.

Maybe the towed banner is not the answer now, but to have old Grim lowered in from a chopper? Might trump Action Fan in the news, too.

Win, lose or draw, the Premier League is over 38 games – always a chance in the next game to put things right.

I never got excited early on in the summer... Far from it.

I saw him buying or chasing average players who I knew wouldn't make a difference to us. That's why I said in June, "We won't finish in the top half of the table because this fella hasn't got a clue."

Now I'd give my right arm to finish 10th. Got to win 1 in 3 from now just to stay up. This squad won't be able to do that. Mark my word...

Not to say there weren't a few examples of play acting and subterfuge that from Lyon but the ref also waved their lads up quite a few times as well.

The evident lack of spirit and drive is the most damning thing: the days of seeing a limited, but highly committed Everton team under Moyes seem an eternity away. I think we are also raising false hopes if we think the return to fitness of Bolasie, Coleman and Funes Mori would make a big impact. If Koeman is still in the job, we won't be set up properly to make the best of their abilities.

Our performances in the Europa League have fallen well short of the mark, and it has further damaged confidence for weekend Premier League games, in fact they compare very poorly with many of the Europa League showings under Martinez. Ronald cannot talk his way out of repeated bad results – end of.

We are all tired of him now.

My heart is just not in it anymore. After 59 years as an Everton supporter, Koeman has succeeded in making me feel totally indifferent towards the team, simply because I now expect defeat every time they take the field. The man who has made me feel that way is Ronald Koeman of course, our so called top manager.

Does everyone realise that in his three managerial roles before Southampton, this 'top manager' was first sacked by Valencia after taking the team from 5th in La Liga to the verge of relegation in 22 games, then he was sacked by AZ Alkmar after recording 7 defeats in his first 15 games, and he then spent two years at Feyenoord, where, after failing to win the league, he threw his toys out of the pram and walked away, resigned, saying he wanted to pursue 'other interests'.

That, in a nutshell, is the most recent pedigree of our so called 'top manager.' Southampton's fans are laughing their socks off at us now, as are virtually every knowledgeable football fan in England.

What the fuck was Moshiri thinking when he hired this fraud on ٤ million a year?
