I wonder if people used to think Diego Forlan was a Championship player? Maybe Sandro just isn't suited to our style of football, although how you can tell already is quite frankly bizarre.

well the team have improved, even against Apolo, we played better, than we did in the very start of the season.
I can only rejoyce in, the fact that DCL, Davies, Vlasic and Niasse is given the chance, to prove themself for the team, and they deliver top quality.
respect to Koeman, for giving them the chance, to prove their worth. And yes, a shame some of the big signings, don't shine through, but hey...

I agree - we can hammer the board about net spend but its down to the manager how he spends over £200 million and lets face it a lot of it looks a waste.

It's a convenient argument for some, despite being a complete untruth. He spent a lot of money, broke the transfer record 3 times I do believe but selling Lukaku for mega money seems to make people think we didn't spend any money. It's simply not true.

I've mentioned it before but my concern koeman is not losing games or the players he picks but the fact he seems to have such a rigid approach.
We can see the tactics don't work and the players can't play as a team. Everyone can see the lack of tempo, pace, basically attack. But koeman seems to think his tactics and system does work and it's the players that aren't making it work themselves. Which is fine when you want them to move more and press more but that isn't the issue now. So it concerns me that koeman will stubbornly play the same system every week with the same poor results and have the only solution of rotating a few of them round and hope the slightly different position on the pitch will work .

Oh come now Barry. It has been mentioned a multitude of times that if we were seeing something to give us hope, I would expect a lot more of us to be more forgiving. At the current time though, it's all at sea, just utter rubbish, that is the cause of the angst.
In football, as in most things, the system accounts for about 80% of performance, players 20%. Put the right system in place, even with players of a lower quality and you'll out perform a poor system with better players. I think we've got the makings of a good side if played in the correct way, Koeman's spent big money on the wrong players and then put those players in a poor system. Result - complete mess.

Ok, but transfer records, are made to be broken, in these times. Nothing special about that. What was the most? 450mill, for Gylfi? Is that a lot, in PL, in your eyes? Or did i miss the point?
Yes we spend a lot of money, but what is your point in that?

Change is definitely needed. We haven't had a single performance all season where you can say we played well.
I'm not saying the Ronald leaving is the change needed, but he needs to review his tactics. That result and performance on Thursday was a disgrace.
We were much better when the subs came on, just like the Bournemouth game, so why doesn't he start the game with that set up?
Vlasic showed the difference is makes when we have an option out wide. I literally can't get my head around Lookman being left out again either because Vlasic and Lookman on either side could be a really effective approach for us.
We have 4 players every match with an identical average position, there's no wonder that we never have any options because they're tripping over each other all game.
Burnley are going to be a tough game and our current playstyle will be bread and butter for them. If we don't change it up I'm certain we won't come away with the 3 points.

I'm afraid I don't follow your point? Are you saying £45million is not a lot of money for Everton? I'd say it is very special having never seen so much money spent on one player before? You need to be clearer, although I understand, English isn't your first language.

All of this is true but he isn't helping himself with his set up and constant chopping and changing. The team looks uncomfortable and cluttered centrally. Also he has his favourites regardless of form.

Well, it is a lot of money ofcouse, but the prices are staggering. As a team, our most expensive player is Siggy Stardust, and compared to the top six, (where we want to be), it does not seem like a whole lot, in that perspective.
Also, if you make an average, of the player cost, during the summer window, i think we are decent. And also the club, has no debt, soo yes, i think personaly that it looks alright

Exactly, we had a decent spend, that is what I am getting at. Unfortunately we bought square pegs for round holes again.
RK has spent a fortune on basically 3 no 10s no wingers and no strikers and no cover at left back also he has sent out most of David Unsworth promising youngsters - as a manager he should have insisted a replacement for Lukaku before we under sold him to Man U testing the market on how a 25 goal player in the prem cost -
he needs to go - Unsy can play better football imo than RK his under 23s play with pace determination, and oh they win!
