You could be forgiven for thinking someone is describing Bilic here. In fact this is what has been said of Koeman by Michael Ball who played under him for a while..
;hmm
End Of.
;wink
He was somewhat handicapped by a significant rise in expectation that following a significant transfer window where a lot of money chang3d hands, that they would be challenging for a top six spot
However, you cannot ignore the fact that the frailties exposed at Everton (mentioned in prior comments) appear very similar to our own and I see no justification for supposing that he would be able to turn us around.
Frying pan to fire springs to mind -
I have rather reluctantly come to the decision that Bilic does need to go, but our friend Koeman, IMO, is not the answer
Dyche
Allardyce
Unsworth
Jeez
Allardyce is always mentioned even though he has said on numerous occasions that he's not interested.
Unsworth did cover previously
Maybe we need a coach who places a decent amount of emphasis on actually having a high level of fitness (and pressing in a game), especially seeing how low we are ranked in terms of yards covered etc
I doubt Koeman will come to us anyway but I would be in the camp that he's a better option and manager than what we currently have.
However, I still would like to see Marcelo Biesla at West Ham.
His signature formation of 3–3–3–1 would be very interesting in the Prem and his eccentric ways would certainly cause a bit of divided opinion ;wahoo
Everton sold Lukaku and look a shadow of the team they were and it's arguable he has kept them away from relegation scraps for the last few years, As for Leicester Kante's leaving seemed to have a massive effect whilst bringing what Chelsea needed to be dominant last season, whilst we have struggled since Payet left and Tottenham did have a decidedly difficult phase when Bale first left.
Although both Barca and Real obviously have strength in depth they do both have the talisman player in Ronaldo and Messi. It will be interesting to see if PSG can move into the next level with regards Champions league success which is obviously the idea behind investing so much in Neymar.
That’s a relief, at least some of the better names are still left for us..
(shouldve saved them for Palace on Saturday ;puzzled ;wink )
