Sam Allardyce

[MichiganToffee-NSNO]

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.

I don't give any of our players a pass, sure if it is a young players first game in the senior squad I will give them some leniency. Kenny has been playing first team for a while now so he knows how things work. I expect every player to do their part to help the team win the games, no one gets excuses whether they are a young player or a veteran player.

I expect Kenny to handle the occasion far better than Pennington did last year. The left side is the bigger concern, as there isn't a left sided Lennon type to play in front of Martina. They'll be all over him like a rash.

Is there any hope Baines might play?

I mean I know he's not as good these days but also he's not Martina.

Wins games without even turning up now.

Footballing Genius.

 

[Thuder]

What a huge lift he's given us... I think we will draw vs the RS but before sam I would say we would have got spanked

Only just seen the score, what a football manager we have on our hands here.

We`ve beaten three teams, that before Koeman pressed the destruct button ,we`d be expecting to beat to comfortably ?????

But Alonso and Davies are first teamers for Champions League clubs aren't they mate? Do you think they'd have 33 year old Leighton Baines instead if offered?

Davies is arguably a first teamer but in any event,

You're basing a full back's quality of the standing of the team as a whole.

Would Utd, above Spurs, who have no decent left back, sign Ben Davies?

It's a really poor argument from yourself on this occasion.

When Spurs have a LB in Danny Rose who I have already admitted in my eyes is ahead of Baines, and have Harry Kane, Dembele, Alli, Eriksen etc, are they going to concern themselves with upgrading their arguably second choice LB? Or rotation left back?
Of course not.
Alonso I just dont see as a quality player but at least there is some sort of basis to your argument.
Come on, if we are gonna dance at least know the two step.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

What else did you want him to do in those games?

100% wins as an Everton manager.

3 out of 3

 

[Michaelcoyb]

It's the definition of bog standard for me.

I'm not violently against Allardyce. I hope he does well. But it's futile trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. We'd have all laughed if another club in our bracket had got him, and we know it.

Thought you weren’t going to be so opinionated in the manager front this time round?

Eh?? Would United sign Leighton Baines or Ben Davies given the choice of the two?

You say it's a poor argument, but there is absolutely nothing to support yours that Baines is one of the best left backs in the league. He is not, everyone can see it. Baines is finished. I've been a massive long time fan of him as you probably know, but he is finished and that's that.

 

[sheedys left foot]

Looking forward to the sam brigade blaming rhino and koeman when we get stuffed on Sunday despite heaping praise on his managerial ability after we beat 3 Sunday league teams.

He’s a muppet, a fat ignorant one at that.

 

[ProZ]

Baines is done, his best attributes were his stamina and delivery, both of which have gone.
