Sam Allardyce

[Gladystweet]

Well a hiding and we didn’t but if they go 2-0 up which they nearly did it could of been but as we drew allardayce is the messiah lol when he’s not

He's not the messiah, he's a very cuddly boy.

We have 6 players out with injuries, who you could say would be in that team today, Barkley, Baines, funes mori, Coleman, McCarthy, Bolasie that's not a bad result at all with that lot missing.

If there is one thing big Sam does well it's make heads fall off. So naturally I like him.

And that's just in here...

Can’t believe this is made from real data. Looks like a piss take!

Hope those foundations are built on pretty rapidly...

Think you're being harsh on him. His style of football has been indicative of the quality of squad at his disposal. He's done what was needed at all clubs he's been at. What's to say he won't continue at Everton, whether that's staying up this season or qualifying for Europe?

Spot on. No one is happy playing hoofball or parking the bus. But when your only option at LB is Cuco Martina, when you've got DCL/Niasse as your striker options (although I might have opted for Sandro playing off of DCL), when you're CB pair is Ashley Williams and Mason Holgate...you gotta do what you gotta do.

Another thing that needs to work mentioning that we don't say often enough - we've got McCarthy, Barkley, Bolassie, Coleman, and Funes Mori all hurt. If you ignore Ross' contract situation, the market value of those guys is possible over the total market value of some EPL clubs.

People are talking like he's only managed one game and we played hoofball. He's managed another where we did nothing of the sort

It's horses for couses no doubt. A master at setting avtram uo. I'd be unsure though that he is able to take a team to the next level.

Allardyce doesn't know how good he has got it. £1m bonus nailed on.

'What's needed' has generally been to stave off relegation. When was the last time he was employed by a PL team to rebuild them, mould a squad into something other than guaranteed 40+ pointers? He's never won a trophy of note. He generally loses as many games as he wins. When he got his one big break in football he managed to [Poor language removed] it up with a corruption scandal after one game (not to mention the previous accusations from a decade ago).

I hope I'm wrong about him, but I'm fairly sure I'm not.

It's shocking the lack of ambition this appointment showed.

Outplayed West Ham under Unsworth/Sam

Controlled the Huddersfield fixture after a flat 1st half.

Played expansive free football away at Limassol with kids (against the same side that managed a draw with 10 men under the Dutch buffoon).

Stayed compact as possible, against a free scoring side that has the sign over us currently, in a hostile viper pit of day tripping maniacs.

The key is to remain compact whilst gradually finding a role for Lookman and Vlasic. Watching how much work Sane and Sterling get through for City is what we need from these 2. They have the raw ability but not the smarts yet. It will take time but hopefully we can get back on track after a farcical summer/autumn.

You would like to think so mate, saying that though, we only had 21% possession, and Pickford did just keep hoofing it up to Niasse and Lewin.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Did exactly what Mourinho and Conte did at Anfield but with severely more limited players.

Is it tho, or is it an indication of where we actually are after 2 decades of mismanagement at the highest levels of the club

Nah mate, appointing Koeman showed a shocking lack of ambition. Sam is here to clean the mess up.
