He changed the formation at half time, and then in the post-game presser he said that starting like that was a mistake. So to me that indicates that he did see that certain things weren't working.

Playing Lewin on the right isn't working, but Koeman perseveres with it, even after Lewin has shown what he can do when he's moved into the middle. Rooney and Klassen together isn't working, both players looking to work the same space, Rooney drops deeper Saturday, starts running the game. Against Man City it will probably be Lewin on the right, and Rooney and Klassen playing in the the same system again.

Fairplay Dave you did...and you were poo-poo'd...but now he's going to need to pull some rabbits out of the hat.

It's also been remarked upon that his teams seem go on runs of results...good one and bad ones.
We could do with a good one for the next 6 games - make that 37 games.
Not holding my breath.

It'll be another season marked by mediocrity.

He's a dull manager, IMO. He's unadventurous and incapable of playing with imagination. Five across the midfield and always looking to get bodies behind the ball. It wont go far wrong, not in this largely clueless league. But it wont be successful and it wont be pretty.

How long will it take the powers that be to get fed up. How long is he going to be allowed to throw money at the problem.

When do we order the Taxi? Nov? Jan/Feb? June?
 

All these teams have their own struggles, especially at this time of the season...so you line up right and exploit their weaknesses...nothing impossible...

Lol. If he is 7th i cant see him fired.

To be fair he is three competitive games into a season. You may not like the football but we have eked out the right results
 
We are getting results atm. I'm so glad we are going into these tough games on such good form. Rather that than looking exciting and drawing 2-2 to stoke.
 
Judging by how we usually kick the season off.. (with as many home defeats as wins in the past 25 plus years) I'm positively delighted with 1-0 3 times over. Or maybe some prefer flowing football and 2-4 v Norwich, 1-3 v Forest, 2-3 v Leeds...1-4 v Coventry or Arsenal (oh, yeah and 1-6 as well) or 2-3 at home to Blackburn or 2-2 draws at Norwich, Leicester & home to Watford. How about QPR 0-1? Take your pick.

He'll get up to New Year for me. Get us top 5 and and playing well and the criticism will be shelved.

The results are because the opposition are poor. Eke out results Vs City, Chelsea away and I'll be somewhat convinced...but only somewhat.
