What is Ronald Koeman doing wrong tactically?

Though Barcelona won all the initial matches in champions league and 5–2 against Betis but there are many flaws in tactics and substitution. Prssing game- Coming on to pressing game which koeman insists heavily on the team, sometimes pressing as a whole, Barca’s Defence goes on sleep and results in error in marking opposition, and when opposition put a bit of pressure barca’s Defence falls like a mud wall, i can understand that it's a new team and Barca lacks in defenders but playing with the same back 4 which led to a thrashing defeat against Roma, Liverpool and Bayern and now again this new coach is going on the same path down. Lenglet is not a world class defender and commits lots of error he should be immediately replaced by Araujo coz atleast he does have pace to outclass and pacey forward and he trackback easily, Pique should be replaced by Eric Garcia in the coming January hope Barca sign him . Improper substitution- why on earth De Jong never get substituted ...
