You reap what you sow and he has spent alot of money signed some god awful players namely overated and over priced Keane in defence and in attack bargain basement Sandro Ramírez to replace the prolific goal scorer Lukaku, no surprises really

No Rooney in the squad tonight to bail them out too, typical Koeman in a Europa game showing no respect to the fans or the club in a must win game with his best players benched or out of the squad, screwed us with the same tactics against Midtjylland in that ill fated playoff game

oh dear oh dear Ron

The Everton fans will be venting again tonight if it stays 2-2 or worse

Hahahaha a Koeman Europa league masterclass here for all the wrong reasons......love it

About to re-ignite the Everton forum again tonight shocking defending again

Couldn't score in a brothel that team

Difficult Important Disappointed all the Koeman buzz words in his interview after the game as usual LOL Can't wait to take 6 points off them this season

3-0 at half time.......Everton are a shambles at the back......makes our defence look good Typical Koeman for throwing the Europa though did the same with us

Bednarek rubbish against Wolves in the EFL Cup and seems still awful still against Villa U23's tonight, you'ed think with VVD and McCarthy in the lineup 4-0 would not be the result, to be fair he looked bad in the U21 Euro Tournament too if I remember he also gave away a pen against England too, nowhere near 1st team standard yet for me

I like the look of this team 3 at the back with wing backs who can actually cross the ball with 2 holding midfielders with 3 up top, Redmond and Tadic have been woeful they only lose the ball or pass it backwards, also agree with dropping Forster too he's been riding he's luck for ages and after the debacle performance against Watford surely his time is up Alex deserves his chance to show what he can do now.

Could be worse you could be a Palace, Bompey or West Ham fan they all appear to have moved backwards too from last season

If we play like this Saturday, Sevilla will tear us a new a$$hole for Van Djik to hide in

All depends on if those new Everton players gel together and play as a team. That's no mean feat to start with, as we all know from our experience in our 1st Europa campaign back that Ron will play weakened teams in the Europa to ensure that league form does not drop, it will be interesting to see how they cope, but if they don't manage to break into the top 4 or consolidate in the top 6 this season with the money they've spent I wouldn't want to be in Ron's shoes, their fans and board will crucify him

Great news, I can now get my season ticket, hopefully will announce Tuchel soon I'm sure the vast majority of fans will rejoice this news and will be looking forward to a more normal style of play next season and the players can re-capture the team spirit of past seasons

All we need now is for the official announcement Claude got the boot and its happy days again

Same old selling club mentality just like the previous 2 seasons, I mean Liverpool AGAIN.......we may as well all get a season ticket for Liverpool at this rate as most of their team consists of the best ex Saints players, Clyne, Lallana, Mane, Lovren and NOW VVD...........bet we get screwed on the fee too just like with Mane. Glad I didn't re-new mine at St Marys.........were really lucky this season to avoid being sucked into a relegation battle, next season i fear we will come unstuck especially with Puel at the helm, thanks Les Reed & Ralph Kruger, thanks alot for a really quiet summer.....last one out turn off the lights

Just heard Fat Sam wants out of Palace.....could he be coming our way???

Did he best with the hand he was dealt, given a full season with a board who back's him then you can judge.......my feeling is that he could do better than Puel with the resources on offer here

The reason's Silva did not keep Hull up are well documented, lack of board support when the club are up for sale for transfer funds when they only had a bare bones squad after selling key players such as Snodgrass to raise transfer funds to try and survive left him scrambling to attract any players to try and keep them up he did the best he could given the circumstances getting in Grosicki,Markovic and Niasse which turned things around and it looked as though he had got them out of it, but also dealt a bad hand with injuries to key players such as long term Meyler and Mason and for the last few games the influential player Markovic who had a key role in their resurgence out of the relegation places. Given our squad and transfer budget available i'm quite confident given his enthusiasm and track record in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon and in Greece with Olympiacos this Vs Puel's negative brand of football I know which I'd take

Bournemouth's income is in fact much lower than ours or West Broms, they have done wonders to be on level terms with us in league positon and it kinda shows what a proper manager can achieve with a willing bunch of honest hard working players who want to play you

I'd sell Gabbi, Austin and Long and get in Defoe,King and Niasse (if Hull go down, which seems likely and Marco is appointed manager here) Most here will be suprised at selling at the suggestion to sell Gabbi but I think he was a flash in the pan in his 1st few games for us has done nothing since and he kinda looks out of sorts and fustrated as games go on. Defoe and Josh King are proven goal scorers in this league and Niasse has shown good pace and strength and in recent games for Hull, and can cause defences alot of problems

After the club contacted me by email, text and letter in seeming desperation to get me to renew my season ticket after careful thought after assessing how we have done this season I've decided I'm not renewing for next season and I'm taking a season hiatus After watch Saints play for 11 seasons with my son this must rank as one of the worst for our style of play and with the general drabness and mood surrounding the club. I just can't sit through another Puel inspired season with his lame interviews/post match excuses, tactics, as well as selling our best players and watching the same dull brand football being played. the only way the club is going to see sense and do something about it is to vote with your feet and not buy season tickets. Instead got a season ticket (cheaper i might add also) watching Bournemouth as they seem show more determination and desire and have pulled off some fantastic results this season, they have an exciting manager who actually inspires players to play and gets the best out, I also think they will finish above Saints this season and next with the our current inept regime in place and that says alot on the budget Bournemouth are working with. When the club see sense and Puel, Black and Co go i'll be back hopefully we won't get relegated next season Good luck for next to all those who have renewed and are about to its gonna be a tough season for 2017-18

Better he leaves before the hypodermic syringes come out me thinks

Without Virgil we are mediocre at best at the back
