Sam Allardyce

[captainvindaloo]

This is still the Koeman/Walsh squad, and it shows in games like this. We have gone backwards since the Moyes/Roberto squad (his first season), despite the record spending.
This summer will need yet another rebuild, and to do that we will need a manager who can do that . Big Sam is not a team builder/project manager.
He's like a short order cook, pulling together a tasteless meal using uninspiring ingredients. When what we really want is a gourmet chef creating a masterpiece.

He has no obvious target man - courtesy of that utter ball bag Koeman - so I wont fully condemn him.

He's not the answer though. We all surely agree on that?

Yes Dave, finally we agree on something lol.

 

[COYBL25]

That passive acceptance of mediocrity by the majority of our fan base is the reason the club is such a basket case from the top down

Post of the day so far.

Well done sir.

It's actually hard to play 180 minutes at Goodison and not have an effort on the goal.

But some of you wanted this. What more can I say, you get what you deserve.

Liverpool and Spurs next, only going to get worse until (if) it gets better.

 

[Mrk]

McCarthy for Rooney lol

Fat mess.

I'm pretty sure we do. As others have noted, he was brought in to do a job, no more, no less. The fault for this season (and the way we play) lies in the months long before Sam got here.

It’s the players though Tim

 

[Wat Tyler]

Playing Rooney in the Gueye role was bonkers, it completely nullified our one player capable of opening them up.

As for the subs: we are one down, why not go two up front, give their weak defence some problems.

You aren't managing Palace now.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Sam has found Koeman's blueprint. ugh!

 

[Ring master]

Sam has made our defenders defend deeper instead of there been massive gaps mostly-thats been the change in not conceeding tons and us been lucky, plus not have to many move forward really,if tosun comes in or any one else,he needs to change the way hes managing us,he then cant blame us like hes doing for not getting a forward as he has players like lookman who runs at people,and hes the one that picks the team etc,sounds like 3 or 4 changes for the derby as well

 

[COYBL25]

I hope he buys James Collins

That`s taking wummery too far.

Bed.

 

[ToffeeTim]

We need a complete new squad and a rebuild.

Anyone who thinks Allardyce is the man to do this is a happy clapper, head in the sand, idiot.

 

[orly]

Who said it was

Apparently we must have Allardyce because Guardiola isn't available

 

[Paul E]

Literally no different to how we've been playing all season. We absolutely stink.

Except for the fact that Allardyce thinks he’s some sort of defensive demi-god and won’t shut up about what he’s done. I’m sure it’s the players faults Now though. The utter fraud
