If you appoint him you know what you're going to get. He's done his job very well overall. Only thing he really got wrong was the derby where they were there to be turned over and we sat back.

He was the ideal stop gap but would only take the job with the guarantee of the extra year, so worst case scenario for him he leaves at the end of the season with a fat pay off.

Going 5 at the back because Swansea did against Arsenal was horrific.

There’s been no improvement though, he’s picked points up off teams we should be hammering. And even in these games we’ve scraped through them.

He had the fortune of having Coleman return, then Baines so we had balance. Plus he had January to add additional firepower (which still hasn’t really helped in creating chance after chance)

Any half decent manager would have turned that around; instead we’ve got lumbered with this fat pie eating meff because the fans mass panicked and media ran with the usual “only fat Sam can save them”

And the utter embarrassment is that some fans actually want this to carry on.

Really?

We had DCL up front for half a season. Leaked goals for fun. Poor signings who couldn't get into the team. No pace. No balance.

We had no right to say we should be hammering anyone.

But that's an opinion of how much some rate the squad. I personally believe there's relegated sides with better squads.

Even if Kenwright and Moshiri think Allardyce has done a great job they just can’t let him stay next season. Too many of our fans despise him too much for it to be allowed to continue... Surely?!

You’d think so, but Kenwright think he deserves to still be chairman after two decades of failure, so who knows?

Yes, and like I said he had the luxury of both: the return of 2 experienced full backs and January to rectify the attacking options.

We still where lambs to the slaughter against the top 6 and barely hobbled past the everyone else

The reason we went 3 at the back was to match our opponents who were enjoying more possession than us, it also released Baines & Coleman to push up higher as wing backs...

The reason we went 3 at the back is because we have a tactical dinosaur as a manager. He didn't lnow how to cope with their formation and he didnt know how to expose thay formation either. So he did all he knew which was to go like for like even though we've been absolutely dire whenever we've played 3 at the back this season. I 100% certain he didnt do 1 training session on that this week.

Look at their goal. Tadic picked the ball up in acres of space despite us having 3 CD and 3 DM on the pitch. And then the scorer being totally unmarked. An utter shambles but that was to be expected ad I called in the match thread as soon as he made the change.
 
Im not overly surprised he didnt do th elap of appreciation, i dont blame him to be honest, he definitely doesnt deserve the abuse or sentiment felt by fans, why would you run that gauntlet or inflame the situation. Fair play to him i say. The ironic thing is he deserves a lot of appreciation.

Its turgid stuff, we knew what we were getting into really all that remains is to see how it plays out, for me ill always be grateful to him regardless.
