"Also being more direct instead of a lot of ball possession back to the goalkeeper. Play the ball in the channel. That took time but the way how we are playing now and the difference in the time to build up, and if we play that ball and push up."
Anyone doubting that we have a manager who's method is to pass long and often should take note of that.

I'd rather win games by that method than lose games but win the possession stats with pointless passing across the back 4

Is he? Yeah ok. I know he bent the knee to Walter Smith - the most repugnant Everton manager of all time.
That'll just about do it for me.

Yet we finished 11th two seasons on the spin using that "better way".
Martinez put together a very good first 11 in his first season. He had us playing a way we never had under Moyes. Toward the end of the first season other teams worked out how to play against us and we had a poor finish to the season. Then we had two seasons finishing eleventh without any attempt to try a new formation or a different way of playing even though we'd been well and truly sussed out.
Koeman has already started building a squad that is capable of playing a variety of formations. We've played three at the back, a 433 and even the old 4231 which was effective at times. Not only is Koeman willing to change formations depending on who we're playing, he will also admit his mistakes if the game isn't going right and will make changes as early as 25 minutes in. I don't see how anyone can be upset or unimpressed with the start Koeman has made.

By Howard Kendall you mean? We haven't played Football as good as we are playing now for many years, the premier league and first division are different times so can't really compare them.

Martinez had us 13th when he was sacked.
Rhino was in charge one match and gained two league places! Koeman out!
we have won 11 league games so far this season...last season we won 11 all season and the season before we won 12. How can a manager go from winning 21 in his first season to 12 then 11. Its pretty dire to be honest and the right choice to sack him was made. Koeman has learned a hell of a lot about the players here and tested and tried different formations and style and had a roller coaster ride but has changed things to suit rather than sticking to one way and crossing his fingers.

He wasn't backed. The cowardly players downed tools. Us nasty fans made it negative when he was always trying to be positive. He wanted us to play football from the gods.
We've made our bed now. Stuck with a bloody long ball, straight talking, ambition before personal touch, nasty winner.
We will regret it as Boobie goes on to international football success, and then takes over at Liverpool and they win the quadruple, and we get relegated...
