More and more of our fans are sounding like west ham or Newcastle fans. Not interested in what he does to try and win a game or give him credit but instead slate every single thing he does and not even in a constructive manner. It's not just on here but also at the game.
Am I his biggest fan - no. However, I can't justify criticising him when he gets three points. He and the team done their job.
He deserves support and time. He has the best win% since Kendalls 1st stint and is 5th all time discounting managers with less than 10 games at the club.
There's loads I can't stand about his tactics like 3 at the back and lack of width but if he wins games he is vindicated in whatever he does. He's won 2 on the bounce and hardly anyone wants to give him a break and instead continue to have a go.
As for Niasse I'm made up he is proving me wrong but I'm pretty sure we all saw how bad he was when first coming onto the scene. On top of that his arrest probably didn't endear him to the club when he 1st came either.
Everyone deserves a second chance and we're giving that to Niasse so why not do the same with Koeman.
Do what you want but some of you sound like you are getting bitter and will probably have a heart attack by the end of the month. I'll criticise when we don't win and played badly but I'll make sure I'll give support and credit when things go right.

I think it depends how the criticism is put across. RK has my full support as soon as we take to the field, and I understand that he is trying to work out how to play with all the new players.
However he has repeated the same selection and tactical mistakes in several games, which for me has got me a little worried.
That being said, he does deserve credit for the last 2 wins, and irrespective of whether he should have started with the players who came on, he made the changes and we won the game as a result of those changes.
I'm hoping he's learning from his mistakes and that this time next week we will have 2 more wins under our belt and will be feeling like we are making as much progress on field as off it.

I can see why fans are getting frustrated, but remember we have a new team and not being sure what is the best system and what players to pick, it's like he's thought just throw them all in the team and eventually they will click and the result will come, but watching as a fan it looks like same old bad tactics, which I think it is, you play with your trusted set up and add slowly to the team, we had some of the best teams in the league so far so it's abit unfair to judge yet, as we could of easily lost to these with out the new player and with lukaku still in the team, we got threw against bournemouth and that 2 wins in a row now, that will give confidence and hopefully things will start to move forward, naisse will hopefully give us another dimension and the one we have been missing.

Spot on again BlueJohnUns.

Ronnie got it spot on last Wednesday, then for some reason he went back to the excact same formation and team selection that saw us on the end of 4 defeats without a goal, he rectified that second half and brought on the players that did so well in the Wednesday game and again we were much better and got the result we deserve, I think the fans frustration is that when we come to play Burnley, you almost spect Ronnie to do the same again and start with the same players that started against Bournemouth, every fan will back Ronnie, but he simply cannot carry on starting a match with the same formation and players selections, that is what is bothering most Evertonians, not moaning, not slating Ronnie, but singly frustrated that it's the same week in week out until we make tactical subs, get those players on from the start and let the opponents worry about us.

Baz I'm setting you a challenge. Give me 5 things Ronnie has done right in the past two games.
Nothing else in the post just positives. I might start listening to some of the things you say if you can manage it.
Also, why are you frustrated with the Burnley game that is after our next one and when you don't even know who he is going to pick. You are setting yourself up to be disappointed for no reason at all. You are talking absolute madness and moaning, yes moaning, already about a game that hasn't even been played!
