Sam Allardyce

He didnt break a single record, he came close to breaking our matches without a win record tho.

21 wins out of 38 games. When will that happen again?

We finished 5th Dave.

I backed a manager who broke records for us.

Next.

First manager to guide us to successive bottom half finishes since the turn of the millenium ?

We'll never see that standard of football for another generation.

Lol @ Davek going on about how we're not showing ambition, and then bleating on about win ratios and most points in a season.

Ace trophy you get for that. Proper MASSIVE.

But Mikey, you can say that if awest Brom or Chelsea would have buried their chances we’d be worse off.

Not really mate

Allardyce's game plan was "I'll stop them scoring and then catch them with a goal of our own to win"

The game plan didn't work because we only drew, but that doesn't change that that was the game plan

The game plan wasn't "let's go there and get a 0-0"

At the risk of annoying Dave, it's the same as Chelsea in the Gerrard slip match. The difference is they took their chances when presented with them. It was still the same idea. Soak up pressure -> hit on counter -> win

Well that's true. The defending really was that terrible.

Posts like this emphasise the rubbish some of our fans spout.

Relegation or big Sam
Long ball or lose
Don’t score or don’t concede

It’s not a case of one or the other, it is possible to actually score goals whilst remain compact.

No, you said that basically other teams should not be getting any shots off on our goal. It's the if, but and maybe is it not. If they'd have scored...but they didn't etc etc. I couldn't give a flying hoot about the football at the moment because before he arrived we were sinking fast. He has solidified us now he can expand. But you can't stop another team shooting it's part of the game.

Cheers for the saying I spout rubbish as well, because i have a different opinion, merry christmas darling xx. Can't debate without having to get angry at people. Do you shake your fist in the mirror when you disagree with yourself?

Koeman did his best to match it this season...

You put pace in the team and it gives the opposition second thoughts on flooding forward.

And everyone of those you’ve mentioned would walk into every team we’ve beaten under sam, as well as West Brom

I....what?

We beat them so it doesn't matter.

He put pace into the team with Lennon. Who else are you dropping to accommodate these pacy players (None of them are THAT pacy by the way).

 

[Papa Shango]

I’d disagree Mikey, setting the stall out for a point against a team that hasn’t won in 18 games and only registering one shot on goal in the 89th minute. To me, that’s a total bottle job and would only be acceptable at the back end of March if you’re fighting for points

Again you are using stats to suit your argument (because your argument is rubbish..)

Does our garbage away form not come into the equation at all?

As for only having one shot, not really that relevant as we had the ball in good positions a couple of times and squandered the chance to do anything with it.

We are missing players, we are not that good and we have massive massive holes in our squad that need fixing before we even think about doing anything else.

He did break a record. Worst ever home win records in one season.

That's not a real record. Its as bad as this most goals in a calendar year thing that Harry Kane has just got. Since when is that a thing?

Won 5 and lost 8 (wow) at home in the league in one full season. Think that was the worst ever home record in a season, at least in PL era.
