‘Spoken like a true failure’, ‘I despise him’- Some Everton fans fuming at Koeman’s comments
Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman has pissed off some Everton fans following some of his recent comments. The Dutchman was sacked in October 2017 after the Toffees fell into the relegation zone following a poor run. Everton had brought in around six players to join their first-team, spending around £150 million. However, Koeman could not get the best out of his team despite leading them to a seventh-placed finish in his first season. Romelu Lukaku – who scored 25 league goals in 2016-17 – left to join Manchester United, and Everton’s best attempts to land Olivier Giroud as his replacement did not work out. Koeman believes that played a huge role in his side’s struggle that season, but he reckons the club and the fans expected too much given their history. “It was difficult, that period, beca...

‘Outstanding’: Some Newcastle fans drool over player who ‘looked quality’ vs Everton
Callum Wilson scored twice as Newcastle United earned all three points against Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday.
