That's right under Moyes, we always struggled to find a striker who could play his system of one up front, and consistently get say fifteen goals a season, but what we did have where midfielders who could chip in with seven or eight goals each, where not far off playing the same system as Moyes now, but our midfield is being set up to defensively minded and aren't far enough up field to have an impact on the game, we need to put Bolasi or Delli in the middle with Barkley to get forward in the box where they can hurt the opposition and support Lukaku, then drop either Barry or Gana because there both doing the same holding role.

Bollocks what a stupid stat to come out with, to be happy that we are losing games by conceding less goals, a loss is a loss whether it's by 1-0 or 2-1, so you can stick that stat straight up your arse and start living in the real world, and face up to the reality of our last eight games.

I can't see us getting more than 4 points from the next eight games, then we have 5 easier games in a row, so with his new signings we should take 10 points, which would probably see us finish on 48 points and mid table and right now I'd be happy to take that. But to be honest I have a really bad feeling about Koeman, that he won't be able to turn it round, that he will buy badly, and that he will only secure 4-5 points from those 5 easier games, and leaving us on 28-29 points with 12 games to play and looking like relegation favourites on current form. I hope the owners aren't of the same opinion as a lot of people on this forum, that it's not a problem he's the right man for the job, come January when he's spent his 80M we're be alright. What I hope is that they have already decided to give him 6 more games, and if there is no sign of improvement they have, or are in the process of compiling a short list of replacements and he's gone, there should be no complaints he would have had 50% of the season to have shown he's got something about him, and the new manager should be given the transfer window to bring in the players he feels he needs, after all koeman had one window brought in four new faces and we're no better, so a new man must be given the same opportunity, after all he maybe tasked with keeping us up.

Can't remember saying that, but obviously you don't think his job is to coach players to play in a system of his choice. Now if that isn't working why would you keep sending the same team out to do the same thing, just to see it fail every week, you wouldn't you would quickly realise that this isn't working I haven't got the players to do what I want, I need to try something different until the transfer window opens and I can get in the players I need to play how I want. But not this dick head keeps sending them out in the same set up to see them get shot down, that to me is a shit manager. I'd be very interested in what you think his role of manager in tails.

I personally think Moshiri is only here because of the new stadium, he's a business man and buying into Everton is strictly business, and if it wasn't for the stadium he wouldn't be here, but that's not a bad thing if he continues to invest in the team as well, I don't really care if in 4-5 years he sells up and walks away with millions cause he can only do that if his money makes us successful.

Pad I'm clueless, and fucking stupid cause I don't see much improvement in the defence. Got to ask this are you a Chelsea supporter who's mistakenly gone on the wrong forum by any chance.

Well if a player can't play how you want you Don't pick him, so you have proved my point, only an idiot would pick a player to do a job he new he couldn't do, a good manager would look at whos available to give a chance to, or he changes his system to suit what he has available, but this clown keeps doing the same thing week in week out, with as you pointed out Rom players that can't play that system, surly you don't need me to tell you that's someone who doesn't know what he's doing.

Players aren't robots programmed to play one system, if a manager wants them to play a different style he teaches them on the training ground what he wants, surly it can't be that nearly all the out field players are shit and don't understand what he's after, bar 2 as some of you believe. Why can't you believe he's a poor manager that can't get the players on board, because he's making nonsensical decisions and remarks. I've said it before and I'll say it again he is not equipped for this job, the expectation is far too great for him.

Never saw a real man on the pitch.

Haf totally agree with you mate we have both been saying the same thing for weeks, I've been called ridiculous, you got to give him more than 16 games, you got to give him at least 3 transfer windows, it's not his fault it's Martinez. After watching that shite those of you who still believe that them post still make sense are living in cloud cuckoo land. He's got know passion for our club he's a mug.

Come on Koeman do something to change it, instead of just standing there with you hands in your pocket.

Take Barkley off stick Delli on in the middle take off Lennon put Mirallas on the left and Bolasie right

Their keeper just touched the ball

Said weeks ago he's losing the dressing room

I've seen some shite teams in my 51 years of following Everton, but I'm struggling to remember one that every week for nine weeks have been constantly outplayed.

That's better

This is dire, its like a training ground exercise we're defend you try and score.

We have a better chance than I fought last week, they have 2-3 key players out, but I still feel our line up is lacking any inventiveness, and we will have a big whole in midfield between Lukaku and the two defensive midfielders, unless Gana is given the freedom to play a more forward role. Let's hope we set up to take the game to them from the off.

You've never come across Danny Dyer before, does the real world end past Bristol. Yeah saw it mate one of the best I've seen, great T.V.

My post regarding Laurence Stewart was my attempt at being sarcastic. I know sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, and has obviously backed fired on me with Paul's reply.

Can't see Sunderland selling till end of season, he is their best chance of staying up, if he went in January the owners wouldn't be seen in Sunderland again for fear of their lives.

It's not all doom and gloom mate, we've just signed Laurence Stewart to the back room staff. I predict we are gonna go in 1-0 down at half-time, Stewart is going to digest all the data he has collected on his laptop, then tell Koeman where it's going wrong and what to do. Then second half we're going to turn it round and win 3-1.

Rom really, did you read that article, I originally thought it was written by a member of his family trying to justify why he should have a job in football.

What a load of shite, we are are becoming the best club in the country at signing people that don't play football.
