You'll be pleasantly surprise if a new manager comes in and make us fun to watch again with exactly the same squad. Well not suddenly turning us into a world class team, but I'm fairly sure much better than we are now.

Actually like him as a player, we're set up wrong from the start and playing to not even one of our forward players' strength so it doesn't matter. Unless he was Messi - he's not gonna look great right now.

Surely he has to play some part in this? How can you call him a "scapegoat?" Watch his interviews, the team are playing like he comes across, uninspiring, boring and lacklustre.
I am pretty sure that as an employee you feed off the person giving you the instructions.
To absolve him from blame totally is absolutely nuts.
You counter your own point with remarkable speed there mate.
If our only problem is not having a (good) striker, Koeman being a very good tactician should solve that with ease shouldn't it? I mean, we certainly shouldn't find ourselves losing a lot of games just because we lack a genuine goal threat. We might struggle to score many, and therefore win, but a tactical genius could surely work out a way in which we could battle to a few 1-0 wins and if not then shut up shop and keep getting points with 0-0 or 1-1s. Our 'very good tactician', however, has managed to oversee 3 and 4 goal hammerings.
It's also odd for a very good tactician to fail to gain a single away PL win in 10 months and counting. We undoubtedly have better players than Brighton - even up front - so if our tactics are so good, why can't we beat them?
I honestly believe any idiot could have improved us last season. Martinez was sacked for a reason, because it was obvious that he wasn't doing well enough with what was available to him. Taking us 4 places higher in the league gets him a bit of credit, but is absolutely not a reason to hail him as an excellent manager. We can also expand on that to say that Martinez at least took us to 5th in his season before things went south, it is looking increasingly as if the dizzy heights of 7th will be the high point of Koeman's tenure. Knight him, I say.

I support Everton, therefore I want him out.
Doesn't have the credentials to suggest he'll turn it around.

Still maintain this.
I always felt his stint at Benfica/Valencia was more significant than riding on the back of Pochettino at Southampton.

To be fair, he had the side Pochettino built sold from under him and actually finished 6th in his second season.
He also took over a really poorly run Everton side and finished 7th in his first season.
I don't think his PL credentials are really that questionable when you look at the facts. However, what is happening now has an air of "Martinez" written all over it. We are massively under performing, the players look devoid of anything and there is a sense of failure in everybody, which will be hard to turn around, especially with his charisma!
A few more attacks and speed and goals would be nice to -Oh and to win a game in style!
He is the few naysayers on this forum wont say lets keep RK just hints it!
Its hard to make an engine go without a battery mate.

Yeah no, i dont agree there mate.
I think we look and play exactly what we are a very good team without a striker.
The team arent idiots they know they have no cutting edge, or someone who is going to slot if its teed up. Because of that the confidence has drained from them.
Look at the performance VS City and look at how the confidence has drained game on game, its not top secret the players will be ore acutely aware of it then anyone. The manager can do so much to motivate the team, but if there is awareness that the underlying issue is structural and cant be fixed for a few months, then your confidence isnt going to grow.
On reflection of anything, someone can always do better, but do i think that he has disimporved as manager when everyone was delighted him last year to now, no i dont.
Do i think we would be getting better results with a striker yes i do.
Who i do blame for this, the club.

I don't expect you to agree mate, as you're convince 100% that koeman did absolutely nothing wrong.
