‘I Need To Criticise Myself’- Everton Boss Ronald Koeman Says After 3-0 Europa League Defeat

Everton manager Ronald Koeman said he was at fault after his side’s Europa League defeat by Atalanta in Italy on Thursday.

The Toffees lost 3-0 against the Serie A side, with all the goals coming in the first half.

“I need to criticise myself because the team were not prepared for this tonight and that’s a question to myself,” he told BT Sport.

“They [Atalanta] showed more aggression, they showed more passion.”

Goals from Andrea Masiello, Alejandro Gomez and Bryan Cristante gave the home side a comfortable victory in their opening Group E game.
