Player Valuation: £60m
They were unbeaten in the first five games. At that point they still had a bit of confidence left to get on the ball and play it to feet rather than hump it long. Since Koeman got his teeth into them they are now seemingly instructed to play safe at all times. That's where any imbalance comes from. These players can play. All that was required from martinez's successor was that they sort out the back four.
It really wasn't though. Did you not watch the end of last season? The team was spent in every sense of the word.
The forward play was absolutely dismal together with clown like defending. Battered by Liverpool, Leicester and Sunderland. Toothless in attack against Watford, Palace, United and Arsenal.
The football was as bad as it is now, at least we're picking up results on the way though.
