My issue with Koeman is that he is failing in two key areas. Firstly his man management, or lack of it, is coming home to roost. I hear the arguments saying that is his style so that is what we signed up for, but if it isn't working, then it patently isn't right. Resolution of this problem is in one of two ways - change his style or change the manager. Secondly, RK has a reluctance to use all of the resources that are available to him and he created significant barriers because of his initial stance on both Niasse and Ross. Fortunately for RK, Niasse is so grateful (and deserving) of a second chance, that he has thrown RK a bit of a life line, but Ross's injury prevents that possibility of happening.
So is there sufficient desire in RK for him to address these two key issues? His apparent body language and whispers coming out about his changed attitude suggest that he may not have the fight to see it through. Does he have the ability to change sufficiently to man manage the major problem that he and the Club face? Personally, I think he is a square peg in a round hole and doesn't have the desire to see it through. I can't call it arrogance because I obviously don't know the man, but I sense a reticence to change borne out of the comments this last weekend when he blamed the players. He has done some damage to the obvious player / manager relationship and god only knows what is happening behind the scenes that we know nothing about.
By him continuing to use players out of position, persistence with laboured forward play, lack of the obviously needed width and the continued Martina & Williams, he has created a rift with fans that will take some repairing and I don't think he is capable of doing this. Howard Kendall had early issues but he was one of our own and that gave him the necessary time - RK will never have that same relationship and I think it is only a matter of time before fans voice for change will be too loud to ignore.

Koeman is the ex that your family keeps inviting to dinner. He's dead to me.
Lazy on my part, didn't check just assumed.
Apparently he is indeed with them
Which surprises me seeing as he hardly figures with us these days

tbf, he does look a little similar to my ex. But OK, maybe his rear is not so small and this is not what we like to do

I fear we need to act quickly before we get dragged into a relegation battle.
In all seriousness, continue with Koeman and this turgid football until Christmas and we will be in a relegation battle.

He also seems to have instilled the " not wanting to be here " bit into the players too
..not sure that's the case. If the manager is distant and falling out with individuals, the players will feel isolated.

Sorry mate but we are, there's not been a single league game this season when we've looked nothing but gash, we don't look like scoring, we concede with ease. As it stands I don't see where many points are coming from
