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.
