His effort is fine, he just isn't any good. He also is a terrible defender. We've got it so that he only has to stop the winger from going wide. Seriously. We have one or two in help on the inside every single time he is defending inside our own 30.

Doubling up has always been SAms defensive strategy, with every defender having the responsibility to cover another.
 

The whole team under Sam pass and move = no pass , and stand there like statues at the back!
no midfield - a lone striker - and no pace in the side!

Agreed...but do you honestly think this started under Allardyce?

It was happening under Koeman and Unsworth too. Our squad lacks brains and vision all over the pitch. Their first goal yesterday came from our stupidity when nobody knew what to do when a player was down so we just stood there and gave the ball away.

Our lack of movement on basic stuff like throw ins is ridiculous too.
 

He's done ok.
If by OK you mean offered zero attacking threat, point blank refused to even attempt to stop a cross 85% of the time, had to have players screaming at him to take up positions he ought to have already been in, and just generally looked like he had no idea of what he should be doing on the field, I completely agree with you.
