Sam Allardyce

[Agent Blue]

BS has definitely had a positive effect since joining us. Two clean sheets, two wins and half a dozen goals scored has moved us up to tenth place, something that David Unsworth, sadly, may not have achieved.
I think the players realized that BS would not suffer fools gladly and that not playing for the manager, AGAIN, is not an option hence the improved performances. Just a bit peeved that they wouldn't play for one of our own.
One other aspect to consider is his willingness to bring in a Sports Psychologist. He recognizes there is a problem with morale and will attempt to do something about it, something previous managers did little to address. Who knows it might even help with the RS conundrum....
hopefully.
He wasn't my choice for manager but he does seem to be moving us in the right direction and by doing so deserves our support.

Much to the bemusement and annoyance of the RS fans.

Klopp seems to be hell bent on sticking two fingers up at the fans on this one.

Think he got a bad injury last night.
So maybe Klopps hand is now forced.

Curses, there goes one of their weakest links.

Robertson is a much better player and defender.

Moreno is their version of Martina and on a par for gashness

Just don`t

Martina's done alright under Sam. Only been two games (or one, whatever) but he's not playing on his preferred side and seems to be doing ok

Wait until Sunday mate, I have a very strong feeling that you may want to revise that statement lol

If you think Martina has been doing alright under big Sam, you are going to have a bad time...... Sunday

martina has done alrite under sam hahahaha

he's hardly been tested and still looked shabite

Yea, we might get battered and they'll probably hit us hard on both wings. We keep two clean sheets in a row for the first time this season with the same back four and on here Martina is crap and Kenny is the next Cafu.
If Martina and Kenny both screw up on Sunday, one will be slaughtered and one will be given a pass.

Left backs mate.

Read your post.

You said Full back, Mate.

 

[TheBigBaldy]

I agree until the point about Baines and Jagielka.

It's just an opinion but I think both are at least worthy of a place in the squad, Baines as a starter.

Look around the PL, how many full backs are there that are definitely better than Baines?

Mendy? Yes
Utd don't have one.
Alonso? Nah.
Alberto Moreno? Not a chance.
Milner? Nope
Danny Rose yes is a better full back.
Bertrand too.

But that's it. Baines just isn't as good as he was. Just life / age.
