Ronald Koeman admits Everton are in a 'difficult situation' as pressure mounts
If Ronald Koeman was in any doubt that he is under pressure then a tweet from the Mayor of Liverpool appeared to sum up the feelings of many Everton supporters after the dismal draw away to Brighton and Hove Albion.
“Koeman will be judged by results, this was another poor one & poor performances v poor side (sic). I ask him have any players improved under him?” tweeted Joe Anderson, an Evertonian.
Obviously Anderson was reacting in a personal capacity but it does not help alleviate the mood around Koeman although he insisted that no-one puts more pressure on him than himself, while admitting the club were in a “difficult situation”. "My whole football life is pressure, if I don't get pressure from outside I put pressure on myself,” Koeman said.

As he has done in recent weeks Koeman talked up the “commitment” of his team as a sign that they are behind him although a return of eight points from eight Premier League matches is not good enough for a club that has invested heavily this year and has ambitions to challenge at the top of the table.
“Let’s hope that the point of today give the boys a little bit more calmness and confidence,” Koeman said after Wayne Rooney’s 90th minute penalty had avoided yet another defeat.
"After 1-0 we showed character and finally maybe had to win the game in the last few seconds. We are in a difficult situation but it's one thing to come out of this and show fight like we did.” Koeman added: “In football, maybe it's only one point but it is a different picture.”
For Brighton manager Chris Hughton the draw was bitterly disappointing. “Because of the timing it feels more like a defeat” he said. "I thought we were good value. Incredibly disappointed in the manner we conceded. We were up against a very good Everton team, but at that stage I couldn't see them scoring.
"I've got no problems with the penalty, Bruno has tried to impede him and the referee was very close and penalised him. When we are in a situation like that, I do hope it evens itself out.”
