The inclusion of the two Europa games against poor opposition is not really a fair comparison to most previous seasons though is it?

Our defence was all over the place two year ago and cannot keep clean sheet against the like in Barnsley.
You cannot play with one formation all the time. Koemans formations are made to try and gain advantage over the different types of opposition. If we play one formation all the time then clubs will find it easier to nullify. At least Koeman recognises when a formation is not working and will change it. The more formations the team can play the more flexible the team will be and swap and change during the course of a match. Not all of them work as the other team will more than likely be doing the same. Like a game of chess between managers

Do you want us to play the same formation every game like?

To echo other comments - you can't play with just one formation if your going to compete, and try and win, all the different competitions we're playing in. If you do your just waiting to get beaten.
He may of admitted to getting it wrong, but his first intention was probably to give players more time to play the 3-5-2. The n assessed there was no pint doing this against Stoke. But he will probably have to against Man City so why not make the decision to find out now more about which players can play to it. Or maybe he'll just abandon this in favour of something else. But he needs to find out.
Moyes had an Ethos...and he wouldn't change it
Martinez had an Ethos...and he wouldn't change it
They all have an Ethos...and they don't change
Koeman has an Ethos and HE won't change it...I don't know exactly what it is, but I don't like what I've seen up to now...In fact it's Shight
How many times is it now that he's had to change his starting line up/formation.
He does, as I've said, have an Ethos...a method, a formation he wants to play, he's got a good proportion of the players in to play this method
yet he still 'ks it up each kick off
Rooney played a blinder in exactly the same role that we're going to pay Swansea 50M for Noggin the 'kin Nog.
We sold Lukaku...like we had a choice, but where is the replacement, is there one lined up now that Giroud looks settled.
He'd better start pulling some rabbits out of hats smartish
Or the Dutch Moyes tag will be true...and the Dutch Martinez and the Dutch anybody else who can't see enough wood from the trees to change his mind when its not working.

There'd be a lot different discussion about tactics, players, positions, formations if Coleman and Bolasie were playing.
I think RK is in a difficult position in this regard. He knows what he's got coming back so does he make do in the mean time.
My prefered formation, player position after xmas would be
Sandro Bolasie
Rooney/?
Sig Davies/Klassen
Gueye
Baines/? ? Keane Coleman
May a bit weak defensively on the left. Maybe Gueye not the best with ball distribution. Still no LB, LCB or CF.
But a helluva team all the same and the basis for a top 4 team.
I'd be breaking the bank for VVD.
Many decisions and much planning ahead. I'd rather have Koeman than most others to make them.

He changed the entire formation at half time.
Why?
Who picked the gash one in the 1st place, that's the point. He keeps on with the Ethos/Plan A. in the face of every 1st half performance
you've got your chicken and egg the wrong way round

The difference with Koeman is he does change it when it's not working (HT yesterday) !!! Moyes/Martinez would not!!
