....these blokes are driven by their own ego, he will want to be a success for himself. Not all managers are demonstrative on the touch line, it isn't a reflection of how effective they are or how much they care.

So how would we describe Koeman's philosophy of play so far? What is the pattern of play he wants us to develop? He definitely wants us to pres more when we do not have it and that wish is being shown in little bursts but not enough for anyone's liking yet. He uses 3at the back occasionally. More long angled passes from defenders to wide man of the three behind striker? More in the air to Lukaku? Mainly using 4231 which is what most teams play I think? Work harder to win second ball even if Lukaku does not win header. Genuine question. It all just seems a bit haphazard on the pitch in this bad run we are in.
There's a significant difference between players being 'crap' and players who, for whatever reason, are performing below their expected standard.
When referring to the majority of our squad I'd say overhyped? Possibly at least to an extent. Are some of the players beginning to diminish? Yes.
Underperforming? Certainly so. But crap? No sorry, for me that's nothing more than a crass and simplistic response to the matter at hand.
I agree with your earlier points about complacency and lack of competition, nevertheless I think there's many more elements to our current form.
Whatever they are however, the players on the pitch should be able to still beat our recent opposition, but they aren't, which can't be ignored.
I'd start with what I perceive as a lack of an actual system that works in our favour, rather than a mismatch style that isn't really reaping rewards.

Many fans will do the same when Belgium sack him.

I think we'll be a little bit tougher to beat than most of the bottom half, that's not to say that we'll be better in the attack because at the moment, I don't see things changing unless we bring in some new faces.

In all honesty I think we all wanted to see the defence tighten up and to stop conceding silly goals.
RK has done this in the main, but in doing this he has compromised the attacking threat we had.
I guess his next job is to find that balance, if we don't we will continue to struggle

He has made the defence a lot tighter but even he can't legislate for a central defender who is now too slow for Premier League standard and subsequently hacks people down in the box for fun.

He could of dropped him, not like he doesn't see him in training every day
Even without this gaff by him our attack was at best toothless, so back to my point he needs to get that balance

Correct. He didn't have a clue, he thought evertonians would believe his post game BS, the fans had to protest to get rid. He then took us for £10m.
He's basically a Kopite, he saved them from himself and then took money from us he didn't deserve.
We play the same formation David, we dont have more behind the ball.

Lol. You really dont get it do you?
You dont have to play 5-3-2 to have more behind the ball. You drag both wide players deep and play more compact lines. That's great, but there's no transition beyond a ball pumped long to Lukaku (Koeman is attempting to play him like that big lump Pelle) or out wide into space for Bolasie to run after.
It's utter trash. Please dont try and defend it.
