Every club hes been @ has steadily declined. I've never rated him but the squad is not good enough.

Plus hes a wanker. Glad hes failing to tell you the truth. Only a matter of time now I suspect before he's sacked. They haven't the hardest fixtures coming up but the players just seem to be waiting for the players to be sacked.

In terms of Barkley though, lets hope the new guy doesn't like him and want to keep him about. Might not be good news if Koeman is sacked in that regard.

Phil(the oracle) Neville thinks Ronnie still needs to work out what formation and style of play best suits the players he's got.....

Question is what sort of manager spends £300 mil on players if he's not sure how they fit in? Surely you buy players to suit your game plan not the other way around. The bloke is clueless IMO.

I think they need to go:

Pickford

Holgate Keane Williams Baines

Davies

Klaasen

Rooney

Sigurdsson

Vlasic

Sandro​

They’ve banned the child carrying dad from Everton games and informed the police.

Meanwhile Captain Ashley Williams is selected for the Arsenal game and might get a fine.

Disgraceful in this day and age. Carrying a kid in broad daylight? Should have been shot.

Neville? Koeman? Or both?

I must admit I was a little surprised when Koeman came to England with a pretty decent reputation despite the fact he's never really convinced in his previous roles. Whilst he has won the Eredivisie three times I don't think he was ever really regarded as a brilliant coach/manager and he's disappointed a fair few times in the past. Did he really benefit at Southampton from the foundations that Poch laid?

The squad is dogshit.
I don't think it's that bad, it's more unbalanced and there is a lack of quality at centre forward. I think full backs aside though they can still put a decent team together. They have a good keeper, OK centre backs and some good footballers in midfield with some promising young options out wide in Lookman and Calvert-Lewin.

It's more a poorly coached team I think.

Not sure it's that bad in terms of quality. It is very unbalanced though, and needs strengthening in certain area's but there are some decent players there.

Certainly an issue.

There's no one in that squad you look at and say, 'yeah, proper quality'.

Much of a muchness squad for me.

Watched it in slow mo a few times. There's no punch. He pushed his hair. You could argue he was worried they were all going to pile into the crowd. Complete over reaction and too easy to punish the fan and not the players. Since when has a player had a lifetime ban for pushing?

Are you serious? If he was worried why on earth did he march over to get involved?

I don’t disagree about the player ban, that was my initi point

Yeah. I'm serious. He was daft but many people in those situations don't make rationale decisions. Fight or flight. Lifetime ban is completely disproportionate to what he did imo. Worth a watch in slow motion if you haven't done so already. Easy to make it look worse than it is with a few well chosen photos.

Looking again, he shouldn't of gone towards it but it was never a punch or a hit. It was a push on the top of his head with an open hand. Still stand by it being disproportionate.

my money is on koeman. loads of rumours that west ham will get rafa benitez in once bilic goes. why would he go there? especially now that ashley is looking to sell.

There's a real race between Koeman and Bilic to see who can get the sack first.

Everton are away to Leicester and West Ham are away to Palace next, if either of them lose those games then I can see them both gone.
