Everton latest news: Back to work for Ronald Koeman as he arrives for Blues training early doors after night out

Oct 23, 2017

RONALD KOEMAN and his Everton flops returned to training at the crack of dawn on Monday as the the Dutchman desperately clings to his job.

The pressure intensified on the Toffees boss after yesterday’s thrashing at home to Arsenal sent the Merseysiders into the drop zone.

Despite the 5-2 defeat against the Gunners at Goodison, that did not stop Koeman from hitting Manchester last night.

The 54-year-old met up with friends for a bite to eat at up-market Italian restaurant San Carlo in the city centre.

And he was joined by Manchester City manager and his former Barcelona team-mate Pep Guardiola.

Despite admitting his future was uncertain, Koeman’s spirits seemed to be lifted by his catch-up.

Although, whether it was the worry over his job or that he had a late one last night, the ex-Southampton chief look more than a little tired as he entered the Finch Farm training complex before sunrise.

But he’s not the only one who appeared to have a sleepless night.

Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who has been one of the few bright stars in Everton‘s poor campaign, let out a yawn as he made his way in.

Koeman will be looking for the elder members of his squad to step-up to the plate.

Wayne Rooney did his best against Arsenal, opening the scoring with a terrific finish to roll back the years, but he was powerless to stop his side from slipping to defeat.

However, he was amongst the first to arrive for training as he was chauffeured into work.
