Sam Allardyce

[sheedys left foot]

You mean you actually want us to lose games so we can survive in the PM but lose our manager ?
You’re not an Everton fan if that’s the case

Collateral damage. I’d happily lose a few games if it meant that spoofer wasn’t in charge by June.

We lost due to a soft penalty and a rare goalkeeping error.

Can't believe some people are slagging off the manager.

We did nothing to try win the game

You've got absolutely no right to judge that.

I guess some of your fans would rather have £10m Marco Silva who's bubble has well and truly burst a bullet well dodged. Once Sam brings in another player or 2 to give your side balance the football going forward will improve bookmark it

Yay, spend more money, that panacea that has worked so wonderfully for us.... oh, and for your house of horrors.

No need to coach and improve when you can just lash the cash again.

4 defeats nxt week then what’s the excuses? Yearh were better positionly and only two points which will change nxt week and as teams catch us. All FS does is this at every club and yet some people want him here longer lol RIP Everton F.C. if that happens.

Don’t want either and we should be aiming higher

Tbh mate I think he'll only last to the summer always thought this

Well I hope so and going by the Sam theory, comes in ok for a few games then bad and the just keeps you up, you should be right. With this board tho mate it’s hard to tell

I don’t see people here accepting mediocrity. It’s just being realistic about the level we’ve fallen too and the appreciation that it’ll never change over-night (over-night currently lasting approx 30 yrs).

Better to be realistic about where we are and what we need to do to get back to the top. (Starts at board level, not the current manager)

Some comments just make it sound like we have an “entitlement” because we were once great.

Exactly. I hate how not expecting Everton to sack every manager until we win a trophy, and actually being realistic, is ~accepting mediocrity~. Besides, I grew up supporting Everton in the 90s. I'm used to us being in the bottom half of the table.

It’s helped Chelsea and United though, they won’t let anyone rest on there laurels.

It certainly helped Leicester, they were widely criticised for sacking there manager and won the league the next year whilst Watford are in the best position they’ve been for 25 years plus.

As far as I can see Sam isn’t even a proper appointment by the board. They wanted him until the summer, he wouldn’t sign so after trying every other avenue they panicked and gave him the minimum he’d accept.

I think the plan has always been to sack him in May, the contract is the amount they’re happy to pay him to go.

And then Leicester sacked Ranieri and got Shakespeare in. And then got Puel. Haven't won a thing since.

Chelsea also have a ton of money and United are, well, United. They're at a completely different level to us.

..i’m more and more impressed by him. I really like his interviews, they are controlled and reasoned. Those that criticise with ‘one shot on target’ and ‘hoofball’ comments should take a more measured view of games. My opinion is that this is more down to lack of quality than it is tactics. Fingers should be pointed more at Koeman but I fear some simply won’t give Allardyce a chance because he’s Allardyce.

So far so surprisingly good for me but the next challenge is to bring in that quality we need.

Completely ignoring all the evidence again.

..sorry, Matey, you’re probably right. I don’t particularly look at evidence, I just say what I see.

We've had 17 less efforts on goal than the second worst team (Swansea) since Sam arrived. We're last by a long way.

And you were a guy always saying we need to carry threat!!

It's so far as expected for me so far. New manager bounce, experience long blip like we are in the middle of at the minute, drop team back into trouble, win a couple in late March to ease the pressure. Seen it all before.

I now want to see him rotate Lookman and Vlasic on the left and Bolasie and Lennon on the right with Gylfi behind Tosun.
