A phenomenal 239 goals in 685 appearances. That's better than one in three (yes 1 in 3) as a centre back or a quasi-midfielder.
We've had supposed centre forwards who should be bloody envious of a scoring rate like that. I'd expect our set pieces to get much better as well.
They've won a massive game already.
I don't disagree that we needed someone like him after Martinez, long may the renaissance continue.
That said, if the story about him displaying his anger at wait staff for being minutes late is a true story, then he was being a tool to the wait staff. He's sitting down to a meal as a multi-millionaire with a bunch of other multi-millionaire's that play a game for a living. To have the utter gall that he matters enough in the grand scheme of life to give crap to some people that are nowhere near multimillionaires because he had to wait an extra five minutes is a prime example of tool behaviour.
Having standards for your staff is one things. Being a tool is quite another. But, as I ended my initial post - if he wins us things, I really don't care. But let's not kid ourselves, this is precisely how this forum handled Martinez's first season. We all fawned over his press conferences and talked about his courage and brilliance. Perhaps it's a bit early to say Koeman is the Chosen One? Let's see how his methods actually play out over longer than 6 games.

UTD are crap, Spurs at home a tougher game, we went into that one with a 70% fit first team because the bar was so low from the end of the Martinez era.
C'mon lads, unleash the fume and your hidden agenda against this fat headed clown.

Showed tonight how badly he was let down by the people in charge of negotiations over the summer.
Generally the play wasn't bad, we dominated the game, but there was no focal point and no one clinical to score without Rom there. When the likes of Crystal Palace have Remy AND Benteke on their books, there's no excuse for Enner Valencia being our 2nd choice.

First bump in the road and a pretty bad one at that. Not a fan of rotating when you haven't got Europe to play in. If anything the squad is going to be underused throughout the winter now.
Koeman was right. We're not going to win the league, so why throw away our chance at a trophy?

I hope he does, why you ask? Because i have a simple rule.....think the opposite to him and I'll more than likely be right.
My rule has a 100% strike rate this far.
Spot on. Completely.
Only thing I think Koeman did wrong tonight was leave Valencia on. He should have been hooked after 45 for Kone.
Other than that, not sure what he could have done. He had to rest Barry, so Cleverley was just an unfortunate consequence of having the depth of a puddle in this squad.
