Sam Allardyce

I'd rather have him than Koeman. He's bearable.

Maybe it's time we had a nasty man at the helm.

...he’s a fine player is Salah but I would hope Martina isn’t marking him in the Cup game. That was their chance to exploit our big weakness and Klopp took him off.

I hope it's Kenny if Coleman is back on the right mate, failing that we bring in a decent lb

He "gets it" regards Liverpool

I'll give him that at the very least

Loved the interview and loved that he's riled Klippety so soon into the job. When did you last see a RS manager absolutely humiliating himself on live TV? He was so bad even the usually in thrall Sky interviewer was calling him on his BS.

I feared the worst when we went 1-0 down but it's significant that the defence doubled down on the original game plan and didn't give up as I'm so used to us buckling and giving in. A lot of possession given up but how many times, apart from a very tidy finish from Salah, did Pickford have to raise his game today? Absolutely shackled one of the best attacking sides in Europe with an unbalanced, ramshackle defence made up of a kid at RB, an out of form centre half past his best and a league 1 right back at left back.

It reminds me of an interview I read with the Palace chairman shortly after Big Sam got the job there. Allardyce said that he won't play tiki taka football if he got the job because it was entireley unsuited to the players at Palace. And furthermore he said that any interviewee who said they could turn them into Barca was talking nonsense and was either lying or didn't understand football. He knows how to work with what he's got and today was a prime example.

Can’t wait for his first signing.

The way he talks about it being important to set the right tone I think it’s going to be a good one.

I wonder what type of player he's going to sign first ?

Striker.

Sadly I think the first transfer will be an outgoing 1 personally, hence the desire to make the "next" 1 fairly decent.

We had 6 first team players out against an almost full strength Liverpool squad. They were massive favourites and choked.

Totally agree, it's brilliant.

It wasn't our first 11 either.

Ffs Matty, what would you have Sam set the team up like, more attacking? Because we'd be sat here talking about a 4-0 defeat if he did.
