Ronald Koeman has shrugged off the mounting pressure on his position and insisted he is the right man to lead Everton.
The club have suffered a draining start to the season and the focus on Koeman increased after Everton were held 2-2 by Apollon Limassol in the Europa League on Thursday — a result which saw them booed off.
An increasing number of Evertonians are sceptical about Koeman and the slow style of football his side have been playing, but he came out fighting yesterday at the club’s Finch Farm base.
Koeman is usually businesslike and economical with his words but, during a 13-minute conversation away from the TV cameras, he was more animated than at any point during the 16 months he has been at Goodison Park.
