I think people gave hum undeserved credit last year. Yes we had a far better season that the 2015/2016 season, however it was hardly anything like Bobbys first season. We didn't beat any of the big clubs away from home, we were largely terrible away from home, whereas in Bobbys first season we won something like 8 away games. The performances at Liverpool, Burnley, Swansea, Southampton, Watford, Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Bournemouth and West Ham were pathetic. We lost both derbies and got knocked out in the first rounds of the domestic cup competitions to Norwich and Leicester, hardly quality opposition. Our success was really entirely built on Lukaku being able to beat sides like Burnley at home. What you have to also remember is Moyes and Bobby didn't have the money Koemann has now, so therefore he should be doing far better than he is at the moment. We've wasted huge amount of players on average players or players we don't need, such as Sigurdsonn and Williams, we've done exactly what Spurs and the RS have done in the past. We needed another left back, a quality winger and at least 2 strikers he failed to bring these players in. I think Koemann will be sacked soon as I don't think our fans will take this garbage much longer.
It really is amazing stuff that given 140 million quid to sign about 7 players for the first team that 14 games later there is still no clearly defined methodology to our madness.
I was worried in the first preseason game when they looked like 11 strangers but I thought 2 and a half months would be plenty of time for that to take shape.
Each week he tries something different and then scraps it at half time when it isn't working. What was the plan for bringing in the players we did because I can't see it right now.
The missing striker excuse is a load of tosh because while a striker could definitely improve us that doesn't excuse the terrible performances from everyone else week in and week out.

I base my assumption on being flexible and not sticking to this stupid 4-3-3 formation @Timak but being able to go 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 so I thought Klassen would be a good option instead of Davies, Rooney and Sandro to swap, Gylfi as a replacement for Barkley and so on giving us plenty of options to rotate for a lot of games.
Apart from Cuco I think they are all decent players who aren't be played correctly and if 4-3-3 is all he knows well he's in a bit of bother me thinks
Aren't we meant to be all turning on the manager? Why are we turning on each other?

She'd better be !
To be honest, I don't actually rate Rachel, I think she's very average.
Anyway, Koeman, I reckon he's got till Christmas to sort things out.
His problems began with the City game for me. In that game, for me, he did quite well tactically, using Davies, Holgate, Rooney and DCL to give the defence the opportunity to ease the pressure and move higher up the pitch on particularly City's left hand side. I thought we showed defensive intensity in this game too, I accept we could have been more positive given the game scenario, but we also defended City's formidable attack line fairly well, perhaps better than anyone else has this season (viz. the RS).
But since, we've shown zero tactical nous, and I think he might have used a different lineup in every single game. The players seem to understand their roles within the team less and less as each game goes by. Now most of them are on international duty again, and Koeman is apparently on holiday (again), how are the players supposed to figure out their position and match instructions within our nebulous / existentially challenged 'tactical system'?
I think Koeman has made a mistake not being decisive and sticking with a system that was halfway working - or at least made sense in theory. And now, though I do hope this isn't the case, it seems as if he just can't really be arsed fixing it, to me it's like he's just trying anything and everything hoping to stumble on a sub-optimal selection that gets the odd three points to ease the pressure, on him. It feels like hopeless trial and error to me, his tactical choices. I know he didn't get the players in that he wanted, and that makes it very difficult to know our best lineup, but for 6 million a year or whatever he earns I expect someone to at least be able to decide on a team selection and set of tactics and stick to it. Even if forming a plan B is difficult, I expect something resembling a plan A for 6 million pounds a year.
