Koeman’s Toffee fury
RONALD KOEMAN ripped into his team in a clear-the-air summit over his fears they are not tough enough. The Everton boss took the blame for another lame 3-0 defeat, this time in Atalanta just days after a similarly spineless display at home to Tottenham. Koeman said: “It’s time for experienced and key players to stand up. I’m worried about what I saw in Atalanta. It was a
season, plundering 253 goals to beat Sir Bobby Charlton’s long-standing record. “I think he’ll get the welcome that he deserves,” said United boss Mourinho yesterday. “Sometimes in this country, the word legend comes too easily. “That’s not the case here. He’s a real legend of Manchester United. “The number of appearances, goals and trophies – clearly he is one of the most important players in our history. “The stadium will show him the respect he deserves, I hope, before and after the match – but not during the match. “He’s an Everton player who wants to win.”
