Sam Allardyce

[Yarrgh]

Oh dear. A bit dreadful that Sam. Please try to sort out some type of attacking play please. Sooner rather than later.

If you can't have a go at Bournemouth with the players at our disposal then you do need to have a bit of a think about your strategy for turning us around.

As much as I appreciate boring non-conceding defensive play, I can't fall for its charms too many times. I don't think it's going to be a long stint in charge, so try giving it a go Big Sam. Please.

That’s your mans first loss in 8 games and you want to hang him. Mental cases.

It's not the loss mate, more the manner of it, setting up to park the bus at Bournemouth (just like at West Brom) is a tad embarrassing.

Tbh I wonder if even Guardiola could get a decent result out of this side.

He would be useless managing a side like this most top managers would be, they manage big sides that have half decent players to start with. I must admit I was quite happy to see Sam come here, more out of desperation than anything else, as we were slipping further down the league, he's come in got points, but I'm sure in the latter games he could have set us up to play a bit nicer football, we are a football club that hates playing acual football, we should be fined for it lol.

He said it will be next summer before we see an improvement.

He is trying to make you difficult to beat mush and that’s project 1. Have to walk before run. The fella is 8 games in and hasn’t even spent a penny on his players yet. This pressure from some of your fans is damaging.

Face it Sam hates his teams playing acual football, but he has a formula so his teams don't play football but get him points to keep his job. I didn't think it was actually possible but Sam does it.

I think we all know though don't we how we are going to set up.

Honestly, are you looking forward to Mondays game knowing it will be 9 men behind the ball again? Same again against the rs.

If we get 2 draws then it's job done isn't it but there's no chsnce we can sit back and say it's enjoyable. It' absolutely horrible to watch, in fact it's even worse than I thought possible because I've never had to have him as our manager before and now we are stuck with him it's absolutely dire and depressing viewing.

Got no grudge with anyone who thinks he was needed and can stomach what he's serving up but I'm struggling I can tell you that mate.

The only thing that’s keeping me going mate is the hope that he gets the bullet at the end of the season.

Doubt it mate, he is already making plans for next summer.

 

[Stanley Parker]

Interesting. While we were undefeated, it was because Sam was a wonder manager.

Now that we've lost, it's not his fault. It's because we've got an awful squad.

And our luck has run out.

 

[Blue Pride of Brum]

All it takes is two draws from your next three and you hypocrites will be on here praising him from the rafters again! Keep the faith crazy blues!

 

[LinekersLegs]

United look like they will be without Lukaku, Zlatan, Fellaini, Young (presuming he gets a ban for today’s elbow), Bailly, Smalling, Valencia and Carrick so I’d like to hope we’d try to win the game rather than just trying to nick a point from the start.

No chance . He really wants this job !.....If you were talking about Koeman , I'd agree .

Yes awful players but he played 3 DM. He moaned about players getting tired but reluctant to rotate DCL and yet played the crap pairing in Keane and Jagielka while totally ignore Vlasic and Lookman.

His tactics was negative in the beginning (today) but we became so wide open when Gana was subbed. Really really strange.

What makes it worse is that Bournemouth are gash at the back, Allardyce let them off the hook by setting up the way he did, he was literally saying to them "come and try and break US down" Bournemouth didn't have to worry one iota about us as an attacking threat.
