We were better in the second half than in the first half. But I wouldn't call the second half "good" as much as I'd call it "not a total disaster."

Possibly the biggest challenge for Koeman is getting the best out of Ross every week. Ross was very poor today; I wanted him removed at half. But Koeman's already tried that; doing it again probably wouldn't have had the same effect.

The thing that stood out for me was our midfield. If we turned it over, they were obviously told to aggressively work to get it back immediately. We were less passive than I had ever seen under RM. I was skeptical of Gueye initially, but he was my MOTM. I also enjoyed Geri and Mirallas working together--it was always clear they were too talented not to be on the pitch.
 
Fitness is obviously an issue. I think RK is demanding more out of them than RM did, so it may take some time. We also need another striker. While I love Rom, I don't see him fitting in. He's going to have to work much harder than I've seen him work to fit in to the system.
 
Geri looked active and dangerous; just has to finish better. I initially thought he'd struggle with the physicality leading the line, but I thought he was fine.
 
There's lots on the positive side of the ledger. Not enough for full satisfaction, but in the opener I'd much rather draw Spurs than newly promoted sides like we did the past two seasons.

7:55 am eastern time. They are playing a team the Czech first division.

This is right. He's a very conservative politician. He's also super dumb. He thinks smoking doesn't kill you, thinks global warming is a hoax, hates gay people, and doesn't think evolution is true. He'll appeal to who he is supposed to appeal to, but he won't appeal to any "moderate" voter sitting on the fence.
 
Hillary Clinton is going to cruise to victory with 310+ electoral votes. Trump has to win every state Romney won, plus Florida, Virginia, and Ohio. He might nick one of those states (Florida) but not all three. Clinton only needs one of those three and she wins.

I think anyone who doesn't constantly insult American soccer supporters, plays players in their natural positions, and has an actual soccer philosophy would be an improvement over Klinsman. And I think Roberto could bring all of that. He'll be annoyingly positive, but he'll have a tactical plan. Playing two CDM to protect the back four like he did with us might work out very well for the players we currently have. Bradley and Jones can sit and Nagbe/Bedoya/Pulisic/Johnson can bomb up the wings in the midfield. We don't have a guy even as good as Lukaku in hold up play (Bobby Wood probably the closest), so he'd have to sort that out.
 
To be honest though, I don't think we have the technical ability yet to play Roberto's style. We are still best as a bunker and counter team. Our strengths are still organization, discipline, fitness and togetherness. Just like everyone else, I want that to change. But the change will come slowly. That style is at odds with what American fans love, but we, as a fan base, are getting a lot smarter about soccer. Just about every new fan that started watching the EPL in 2015-2016 loved Leceister City. LCFC bunkered and countered better than just about anyone and won the league. Atletico does it best and they went to the champions league final. It's a legitimate strategy.
 
BTW, yesterday was the anniversary of Landon Donovan's goal against Algeria. Still gives me goosebumps. (And an example of a pacey counterattack!)

Terrible event this morning in Orlando. Even worse response by Donald Turmp. This country is bananas.

I have been thinking about explaining my support for Everton for a little while so I thought I'd go ahead and take a shot.
 
Growing up in the 1980-90s in the United States, you aren't born with soccer like you are in England. Picking a side isn't as simple as supporting the side your father supported. My family history, at least as I know it (or frankly don't know it), doesn't suggest anything. My surname (Boyea) is French, but that isn't particularly helpful. My mother's maiden name is Smith, which suggests some sort of English history, but again, the genealogy is obscure.
 
I played soccer as a youth player, like a lot of Americans do, but I moved to a very small town when I was in the 8th grade. There wasn't a soccer program in the small town so I played American football, baseball, basketball and ran track. I wasn't very good at much of it. I followed the US Men's soccer team in World Cup matches and maybe some qualifying matches when they were on television. The premiere league was just not on my radar.
 
I graduated from college in 2002 and can remember that summer watching the US team make their best run in the World Cup they'd ever made. But I entered the active duty military in that year and didn't really follow again until the world cup in 2006. That was not a good year for the US.
 
It sort of stayed that way for me for awhile--getting interested in the World Cup but not really following up on that interest. I would say that some part of that was that I couldn't watch the EPL or La Liga on TV at the time. In 2010, Landon Donovan scored that fabulous goal against Algeria to secure the round of 16. I remember that moment very specifically. It was about 10 a.m. on the east coast of the US and man it was great.
 
In the run up to the 2014 world cup, NBC (a US broadcaster) started showing the odd EPL match. I watched as many of them as I could. And I loved them. Then the World Cup was on again. The 2014 World Cup was an event for me. I took days off of work to make sure I could watch US matches and I watched as many of the matches that were not the US as I could.
 
So after the 2014 WC, I knew I needed more soccer in my life. So I took a look through my options in the EPL. I picked Everton for the following reasons (no particular order):
 
1.) I liked that Everton is sponsored by a cheap beer (I respect cheap beer)
2.) I love the color blue and every team I've ever played for was blue
3.) Tim Howard (and I learned later that Everton had a solid tradition of American players)
4.) It isn't a front runner side like Chelsea, Man U, Etc.
 
But as I learned more about the team and its history I kept falling more and more in love. Here's why:
 
1.) Liverpool is a working person's city
2.) It has a rich history of success
3.) Everton supporters are the best in the world.
 
A big regret of mine is that it took me so long to find my home with Everton. But I'm proud to be a blue now.

3.) Tim Howard (and I learned later that Everton had a solid tradition of American players)
4.) It isn't a front runner side like Chelsea, Man U, Etc.
 
But as I learned more about the team and its history I kept falling more and more in love. Here's why:
 
1.) Liverpool is a working person's city
2.) It has a rich history of success
3.) Everton supporters are the best in the world.
 
A big regret of mine is that it took me so long to find my home with Everton. But I'm proud to be a blue now.
 

I don't think Jose is out of our league. In fact, it almost seems to me like a perfect opportunity for him. He gets to the opportunity to prove his ability with a smaller club with money to spend and aspirations to match. Sure he'll wear out his welcome in 3 seasons, but everyone will be talking about Everton. He'll make it so that we cannot be ignored.
 
I think Pelligrini would be a solid choice too. I think he was a little hard done by with Man City. Imagine knowing you are a lame duck halfway through the season. I doubt he gave it his best effort once his replacement was announced. I certainly wouldn't.
 
Koeman would be okay, but not as exciting as the Jose or Pelligrini.
 
I can't speak intelligently about De Boer--I'm not even sure it is possible to watch Dutch football in the US.

I almost don't think any player can be objectively evaluated at this point because they've clearly quit on the manager.

What makes this harder is that Roberto seems like a genuinely fine human who loves the sport. I've got nothing against him as a person, but professionally he hasn't performed. I think, in a moment of candor, he'd tell you the same thing. I think he'd be best coaching in Spain.

There can't be a team in the world that can go from the opponents box back to their own keeper as fast as Everton can.

Man, Everton that.
