Sam Allardyce

[diggerdestroyer]

It is woeful football but it is exactly what we needed result wise. We havent exactly world class players starting for us so having people say they hate playing us is something positive. Nobody will be saying thats a defo 3 points now.

Some bad helmets on this internet 'supporting' us crying over a point gained because they cant do an #allardyceout on twitter the absolute nuggets

I think holgate and Williams were feeling the effects of illness

Really? Didn’t catch that.

 

[blue to the bone]

He's not too bad at all is. Even his interviews are honest and doesn't do much bs.

 

[RomanReigns]

I want to sponsor this thread

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Again bemoaned the fact that we weren't good enough on the ball. At least he's fully aware of it.

I read it earlier. Might have been on BBC


** EDIT **

Here you go...

The former England boss will feel it is a well-earned break for his side, who were without Wayne Rooney against Chelsea because of flu, while defenders Mason Holgate and Williams started on the bench because of illness.

Enjoying his tenure so far. At least all the lads have bought in. His staff has to take credit also.

You have to wonder about Koeman and this football management malarky.

You get to spend more than 150 million pound and there is barely any attacking skill in the team.

You know what you are going to get. He was brought in to steady the ship not win the Champions League. I think he is doing great so far. I am sure that all of us would prefer some more expansive and expressive football but we need stability. If we can put lower teams to the sword and draw in games where pundits froth at the mouth at our tactics then for the time being I am happy.

 

[grandjoeblue]

Have to say I'm surprised, never expected the results he has managed to achieve.

 

[Saint Domingo]

6 league games. 14 points. That’s over 2 points per game which is better than CL qualifying form. Producing that with a team who were in a relegation fight and people are moaning.

Get it through your heads. The likes of Calvert Lewin Schneiderlin Gueye Lennon are never going to play joined up attacking football. Offensively we don’t have the players to do it. So we can either play like this and get results until the window opens or we can get caned every game like we did under Martinez and Koeman who actually had far superior offensive players available.

Guess Koeman did not think we need strikers???

it wasnt wieful
it was a masterclass in defending and defending in a controlled and organised maner...there was little desperate defending and the constant expectation that we would fold eventually of recent seasons......
All that was missing was the ability to hold on to the ball once it was clear...as SA says...that will come. But this was high quality defensive footbal

 

[Sheedy's right knee.]

One thing I never gave Sam credit for is man management skills. The players today shown more commitment than I've seen in a long time. The squad looks more together and everyone been asked to play put a shift in. That was keanes best game for us so far.
