I dream of being as calm and cool as he was just casually sipping away at his cuppa when we score the 5th.

He's ice cold. That assuredness is passing onto the players and you can see a difference in their self-belief. We never used to come back after conceding first, look at us now.
 
You can actually see the wheels turning over in his bonce as he stands on the touchline.

Silva just looked completely baffled, and Koeman looked like he couldn't care less.
Except for when he had his Phil Mitchell phase and he just looked like an utter mess of a man. That Arsenal match he looked like he had been dragged out of the pub from a 3 day bender beforehand.
 


His tactical flexibility is such a breath of fresh hair. So many of our previous managers (Martínez, Silva, et al) were either too stubborn or incompetent to change formation and playing style when things were not working. Gone are those frustrating days!
Yeah, winning is his philosophy. The formation and style of play isn’t as important
 
Imagine what he could do with his first choice players fit, decent cover in every position and quality attacking options off the bench.
It isn't just a case of getting players fit either. I genuinely feel as though some of our players are hitting form just at the right moment.

The obvious one, and the most important one, is Richie. Those goals against Spurs were both exceptional finishes. But it's also great to see Gomes hitting the levels he showed in his first season, Davies is playing better than ever and even Siggy's good games are more frequent.
