Looks like Koeman wants a "front 3" to play direct football up to. You can see why we were linked to Bolasi, Sissoko and Arnoutavic. He wants to get the ball and hoof it up to 3 target men.

I think I'm allowed to expect more. We are god awful and it looks as if Koeman is a one trick pony. And that trick is out of date.

Thought Jags said that? Not from the horses mouth was it?

Yeah, excuse the wording but it was pretty self explanatory. Unless you dont understand odds.

Is it wrong to expect more from the 11th highest paid manager in the world? It could be worse, Swansea have just sacked theirs after half a season.

I wish Koeman would work with our centre halfs on free kicks and corners, because almost every one of them seems to go in the back of our net.

You know what I'd he did this and lost, then we would still be able to say "oh well, we had a try and it didn't work out". No doubt it won't. Something like 3 wins in 15 games is absolutely dreadful and we're more than lucky to be where we are in the table.

No, but I know how he slammed Barkley in almost every bloody pre and post match interview. Even he himself has said he can be too honest. I've drawn my own assumptions. I've seen the way he speaks about players and his demeanor, hes obviously a disciplined based coach. Granted I've heard several things in the press that would sway me, things about his relationships with players at southampton, who do not seem to like him. Just because excelled as a player and reached the highest heights doesnt make him a good coach, and it also doesnt give him the right to believe he is better than he actually is.

Post match interview he seems happy with that draw against Hull. Fuck me. What has happened to Everton Football Club. NSNO.

Well, let me enlighten you all. Please all, gather round. If my boss spoke to me in a stern, direct way, verging on arrogant, but got the job done, excelled in his field and was he right man for the job, I'd work hard for him. If my boss spoke to me in a stern, direct way, verging on arrogant, blamed me for everything that went wrong, didnt get the results and refused to take any responsibility, I would no longer give him my optimum output as an employee.

I dont know what you mean. I assume you mean they report on him a lot? I like him, but I know some people don't rate him as much. A good friend of mine really doesn't see the hype and I can't figure out why. As for Ross, it's almost as if 80% of our team dont actually want to work for a win, they just want the win to happen.

David Moyes finished outside of the top 8 twice in the whole time he was here (and he finished 8th in 1 season) Martinez had a better squad that what we had with Moyes and finished 11th in back to back seasons. I dont want Koeman to bring in the players he wants, simply because his tactics aren't good enough. He's got arrogance he cant back up and an ugly ego, which eventually players wont want to work for. The game today was a turning point for the season, either we'd pick it up, or we'd realise that we aren't going anywhere anytime soon. We played aweful against a dreadful side and I fully expect the players to turn on the manager very soon (again).

Blaming the players game in, game out is bullshitting, isnt it? I'm yet to see him take responsibility for a loss, or aimless draw (todays draw was as good as a loss, against the worst team in the league). He is using the squad as a scapegoat, saying he hasnt got the players he needs. The squad we have now shouldnt be performing as badly as they are. To be honest, it doesnt even look like any of the players even like RK. You cant work for someone you dont like. Not 100%

What do you mean with the Spurs remark? Deli Ali has heaps and heaps more ability than Barkley. I was watching him today and saw him make two or three good passes, ones that you would expect an attacking midfielder to make. Then watched him potter around the midfield, refuse to chase anything down and not much more. Despite the goal, which was one you'd expect him to score, he offered nothing to change the game. He didnt take it by the scruff of the neck and appear to want to win it. He was average today. It doesn't deserve credit, if anything average is the bare minimum you'd expect from any player.

I'm not spending another 2 seasons waiting for our manager to be sacked. If he's not gone at the end of the season everton have lost my money as a fan.

Baines played a huge part if the first goal we conceded. Edit: And a small part in the second Im going for Lukaku. Because despite not scoring, he held the ball up averagely and looked to make things happen.

Given up on this season, hopefully we can get a manager in the summer who has the capability of dealing with players in front of him and not constantly blaming them for his inability to manage that particular bunch. At the minute Koeman is sat on his arse telling Moshiri game after game "I cant get results with this group of players I need my own" No, dont take the job if you cant work with the foundations. I would rather not buy players to suit Ronald Koemans philosophy, its going to cost a lot more if we sign the players he wants, rather than sack him and get a proper premier league standard manger in, because the style of football he plays is so old fashione, one dimensional and lower leauge, that when we do get a new manager he's going to be left with Andy Caroll and andros townsend type fodder.

Well jags thought we played some pretty good stuff the second half so well done to the team. Congratulations boys you did well, what an acceptable result.

What match were you watching where Ross Barkley's performance was positive? He scored a goal. And I think thats just about all he did. I wish we had a proper prospect like Deli Ali. That lazy fraud cant even be arsed to do anything more than a light jog off the ball. Evertonian or not, snatch spurs fucking hand off for him this January, he has no future here. Leon Osman would probably benefit the team more than he does even to this day.

Can we get an option for Ronald Koeman? Thought he pulled a tactical miracle. Best manager ever cant wait to finish this season pushing for CL.

What do people expect of Everton? Is that acceptable? Because it certainly felt at the start of the game that we gave the worst team in the Premier League way too much credit. When are people going to start calling for the manager to be sacked? Because its not fucking good enough.

Why has Funes Mori just come on for Mirallas? Why?

We dont have a starting keeper because we didnt buy one depsite several being available -poor management Jagielka is being picked over and over again despite being our worst player this season -poor management Barrys legs have gone and others are keen to impress, but dont get a chance -poor management We play long ball, the same as all the other teams in the league around the relegation spot -poor management Mirallas gets game after game -poor management Barkley slammed for doing as little breathing, every conference -poor management Lost our best centre half in the transfer window -poor management Didnt bring in a young/quick centre half so we dont play on the end of our own box for 90 minutes -poor management No amibiton We adopted Martinez's philosophy in our first season, despite it being a much more intricate one, but Koeman "needs time". Does he fuck. Absolute bollocks I dont want a long ball philosophy, Id be happy if the clueless wanker got the sack tomorrow. Here's a bold statement for you all I'D RATHER HAVE FUCKING CLOWN SHOES BACK. At lease we played fucking football.

So at half time can we make the changes which should have made prior to the team sheet being released? What did Lennon do wrong the last game out? What did Funes Mori do wrong? Davies didnt prove himself enough despite showing that he can bring bags more to the team than Barry. apparently? Davies needs to come on now if RK is being serious. we're making Hull look like a good side. At times we look Championship standard. I dont care if we win I'm done with RK now he doesnt have me as a fan supporting him. It seems drastic but I've seen enough. We're not doing well this season because of the manager, not the players.

If Rom doesn't score in our team, the other team does. That's how much we lack finishing ability. Lucky. Hull deserved to be ahead. Either way I'm happy Mbokani was in the heat of it all he's a tosser.
