Going well for Everton then? Won't be long before manager Koeman starts looking over his shoulder if results don't improve soon.

Team isn't gelling at all. Wonder how much the Rooney incident has impacted morale.

I refuse to laugh at other teams sleeve sponsors until after we inevitably unveil ours. You just know it's going to be wank.

Kleenex on your sleeve would be appropriate.
Another gash performance from Man U overshadowed by final score.
Christ Rooney gave ball away nearly every time he got it.

Everton actually played okay but got suckered by the 2nd goal, scoreline flattered Utd

Word is if he loses the next one against Bournemouth he's gone.The way things are going they will be in need of a relegation avoidance specialist like Fat Sam.

Whilst there results have been poor, surely anyone - Koeman and the board included, should know that if you buy in a load of new players, it's going to take time for things to gel.

It's ridiculous that up to the start of the season, they were backing him 100% with all the money needed to add quality to the team. Not giving him time to make it work seems foolish (and in the longer term a complete waste of cash and time) but i guess that's where we are in the PL thesedays.

Unless something isn't clicking between the manager and players or there's a bigger disagreement here somewhere i just can't understand it.

Would be a fairly special effort to do that.

But sadly in this day and age it also wouldn't really be surprising.

They have had some really tough opening fixtures to be fair to them. Although I do feel a bit sorry for Siggy - he does not suit their style of play - reckon their fans will turn on him badly.

18th in league. Lose to Bournemouth then they go 19th in table.
If he loses the job then he should have no complaints

How many points do you think they should have after playing Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, us and Stoke? They're on four which is one more than I was expecting.

For all the money they spent they didn't really replace Lukaku which is crazy. Maybe they thought that with Rooney, Sandro, Siggy and their young players they'd have enough, but it doesn't seem to be working at the moment.

The thing that didn't concern me when we faced them was their attack. Exactly as you've said, they didn't replace Lukaku and their attack lacks focus now. Sandro may be a better focal point given time but they've lost PL quality/goals and haven't replaced them.

That would be another knee jerk sacking from owners who have no understanding of how long it takes to establish new players and ideas. We were pretty turgid in Poch's first season. Sacking Koeman would be right up there with CP sacking De Boer after 4 games. I hate these rich fuckers buying up clubs and then acting like Donald Trump on his poxy TV show. Hope to God we never end up in a similar situation.
