Everton Appoint Ronald Koeman - 3 year deal

[gjb]

They're waiting for Big Sam to come back from his vacation/retirement so they can hire him to rescue them from relegation.

Please don't kid around like that, it's not funny.

It's a weird one, they've signed good individuals but we all know that doesn't make a team. If you scrutinise closer, they've signed 3 number 10s, a CB and a GK. Oh and Sandro, but it's already clear that he should be a squad option as opposed to the man to replace Lukaku.

So really, they've still got an ageing backline. They've got a CM pairing who are too similar and limited (Gueye and Schneiderlin). Davies should be in that pairing all day long. And then they don't have a clue what to do with the front 4. They've tried shoehorning them all in which hasn't worked.

You can see that they're really missing Coleman and Bolasie, especially the former. Both are pacey though and would add a bit of dynamism to the team. I'm shocked they haven't given Lookman more of a go since Calvert-Lewin has done well. Especially since he did alright last season, as did all the young players they put their faith in when the old guard weren't performing.

International break has come at a good time. Koeman needs to take a bit of a gamble and go for something like this.

--------------------Pickford
Martina---Keane---Jagielka----Baines

-------------Davies---Schneiderlin---------

Lookman---------Siggurdson----Calvert-Lewin

--------------------Rooney---------------------------

Thats an awful team, far and away our best player is not in your lineup. Gueye

Put Gueye in for Schneiderlin then. It’s not a great team I agree but do you want Klassan out wide, Sandro hovering and doing little, Williams at CB? It at least has s bit of legs and life to it in the wide areas

Its a shambles tbh, no width atm no ideas.The best possible line up imo is a team that would struggle against 50% of the clubs. We took Lukaku for granted.

 

[Roque Santa Cruz]

Everton sold Lukaku for about £75 million, which is a decent amount to find an adequate replacement. Apparently, they failed to do so. Sigurdsson is clearly not good enough, while Klaassen seems to struggle to adapt to the Premier League.
Maybe Koeman & co. face more problems?

 

[gjb]

If he was fired who would replace him?
And DON'T say Moyes or Sam!!!!

 

[Gilly?]

Harry Redknapp.

 

[gjb]

Harry Redknapp.

Nor Redknapp!!
Behave.

 

[Pagnell]

Big Dunc.

 

[JimJams]

De Boer...

 

[The Mustard Tiger]

King Pardew

 

[Abertawe]

Everton will be battling with the US of A for the Big Sam handshake.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

I hear Steven Gerrard is looking to get into management...

 

[JoshBCFC]

Paul Jewell

 

[Smally]

We should have binned Koeman by now and should be going after Tuchel with all we have

 

[Blitzballer]

Ronald Koeman spotted on the streets of Liverpool earlier

 

[Super_horns]

Yes - he sort of summed up Everton atm.

A right old mess!

 

[SkyBluesRose]

And DON'T say Moyes or Sam!!!!

Tim Sherwood

 

[gjb]

Some of you may be taking the mick with these suggestions. .
Moyes, Redknapp, Allardyce, Gerrard, Jewell, Sherwood, Pardew, De Boer are all cack!! Tuchel perhaps.

 

[gjb]

He'll be gone tomorrow. I think we may regret his replacement.

 

[Super_horns]

Would the fans want David Moyes back?

 

[Abertawe]

Would Moyes want the fans back?

 

[Pagnell]

Would the Moyes want David Fans back?

 

[OUFC Dan]

Would back want Moyes fans?

 

[SkyBluesRose]

Moyes back want fans would?

 

[gjb]

No Moyes thanks

 

[SkyBluesRose]

What about Klopp?

 

[Abertawe]

It's Big Sam or Pulis for Everton. Anything more glam is just pie in the sky.

Newcastle got Rafa when they were in the relegation zone two seasons ago.
