you'd think allardyce is SAF the way people are afraid of him

No way is he anywhere near SAF, but he can be and is an awkward cuss.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

We are wary because in the past two seasons at Goodison, Sunderland have won 1-0 and 2-0 in the most ridiculously spawny fashion with about 20% possession, relying on a defensive calamity, our defender ankle tapped in our own box and two of the worst scuffed in goals ever seen in my lifetime.

not saying it'll be an easy game (non in the prem are) but I really don't think they'll play all that different. They've always parked the bus at us

We need to attack from the off , none of this tick tacky sideways football.... GET INTO EM!!!!!

This, really need to get them on the back foot from the off, don't give them a chance to get into the game.

Wonder what fat sam will set his team out to do tomorrow

Totally agree. And we have the arsenal to do exactly what you say. Up to Roberto's set up I guess.
Prediction: we go a goal down playing KITAP1 style...then we play much better after Bobby is forced to change his defensive tactics and we draw 1-1

Lob long balls into the box and hope he clown drops a few.

That's what I'd do to be honest.

First half we'll play like its a friendly dead slow and boring.. Go 0-1 down and then start to playand realise its not a friendly! We get an equaliser and playabit better but we don't have enough creativity to break teams down... Its the same old story so we go home fuming and just hope Mane scores a hat trick for my fantasy team to calm the fume!!

...any manager with half a brain cell should get his team to do exactly that...guaranteed goal

Let us have it in our halve and sit deep, win it in and around there box and hit us on the counter

Piece of piss, job done, mark my words

I've lobbed a fiver on them to ensure that this doesn't happen again.

3-0 to us.

3-0 to us.
