I think he's miles off. Unless he's backed in the summer massively I dont see him using the cash from Lukaku wisely enough. His judgement on Stekelenburg, Bolasie, Williams and Calvert-Lewin has been poor. Gueye and Schneiderlin are the only ones acceptable.

If we lose Lukaku we'll be weaker next season.

Crap.
Injured most of the season, but underwhelming.
You said yourself you thought it was a decent signing but he's disappointed. Not sure how that's a mark against Koeman.
Dominic was an Unsworth signing.

It's a mark against any of us who wanted him here...me as much as anyone.

He's had ample opportunity to show us what he's got.

Sometimes you have to hold up your hand and admit it was the wrong move.

Only in hindsight. Many thought it was a sensible move.

What other option is there atm? Funes Mori is injured and also crap.

I cant believe how poor he's been here. Hands up: I thought he'd be the answer to a lot of our defensive problems but he is 'kin rank. Cut our losses and get shut.

What a CB pairing we had out there today. They have to be one of the worst pairing in the top half of this league.

As much as I'd love to see 2 new top CB's come in chances are we'll prob see one high profile one and maybe a squad CB with another leaving, Jags/Mori. Would you say that possibly Williams form this season has been down to who he's been paired with at the back and not having faith in the keeper? I mean it's a shocker to me, like you say, most of us expected him to shore up our back line and be solid for at least 2 seasons, the defensive record has improved but maybe that's more down to Koemans tactics rather than Williams addition. He has been disappointing but I cant help but think if he was paired along side VVD or Keane, that he'd be more solid and consistent. He had some of the best defensive stats in the league last season now he's bang average, seemingly. Has to be down to more than just the player.

He'll have to buy in, because it's obvious he won't play Holgate or Galloway there.

Holgate's playing RB and Galloway (who until he fills out more is LB cover) can't play this season.

As for Williams, we need 2 CB's this summer.

That's the worse thing about it for me: Williams has had the benefit of a manager who does not leave the back four exposed too much and gets back in numbers to press before the opposition reach our box, and yet he still seems positionally woeful and leaving himself with a lot to do.

It's a mistake. It needs to be addressed by getting shut. Just one of those that should have worked out but didn't.
