I expected him to go with Davies, Schneiderlin and Baningime yesterday, with a low block. Goodison would have hated it (shouts of PUT A FOOT IN would have been rife) but with Walcott and Bolasie wide you've always got a chance of a counter.

Sam sent the team out with a lowISH block but with no legs to put a foot in. Playing Rooney and Schneiderlin together was borderline tactical suicide. And DCL in there too?! Christ. Lambs to the slaughter.

I was sat on the GS and watched Bolasie miss that chance. Crowd stirred. Then I see Rooney going nuts for the hugh press on the goal kick. Jags followed suit. So we are sat on the edge of the City area. Ederson shrugs his shoulder and bypasses the bodies to Jesus (I think) and now City are in our half and we don't have the lefs to get back. City have Sane and Sterling.

The most worrying thing is (amongst lots of issues), why have we got two different tactical methods being used? Was that Allardyce? Was that Rooney? If was the former, he's proven himself to be absolutely clueless.
If it's Rooney, why is he doing it? Why is Allardyce not reigning him in? Did Rooney think we were lambs to the slaughter so took it upon himself?

Obviously we will never know. Personally I think it stinks of Allardyce's "go out there and give it your best" method of managing. If it's not a team of grocks at the bottom of the league, he's completely out of his depth.

Can't even fathom what a full season will be like.

What is a “block”?

You've made some really good points there. I said in the match thread that second half we did get a better 'low block' once Davies was on for Rooney. Who knows if that would have worked well from the start, as maybe MC had slowed their tempo in the 2nd half.
 

fair play to him, he’s definitely won the stealing a living prize that was once property of Victor Anichebe, I mean you have to be some kind of genius to be kept getting paid millions while being this terrible at a job.
