He's here until the end of the season but no way can he be here any longer than that, there's a reason he has only ever managed teams whose sole purpose is to survive. Dreadful football and we are not even keeping clean sheets any more.
 

Spurs had a full back who played higher up the pitch all game than our wingers and so called number 10. Kane, Alli, Son , Eriksen, dembele. Now that’s playing an attacking team.
 

he will get a lot more fans on board if he decides to drop Martina forever, and ever.

Not doing himself any favour at the moment.
 
Thankfully he is ensuring he cannot continue as manager beyond the end of the season with interviews like that.

...oh and the performances, obviously.
 
Ok then, please, explain to me how looking at the last 5 matches of every opponent we played and showing that they have shots on target is flawed in any way/shape/form?

I'm not trying to defend Allardyce or the players here. But purely on the stats in the post quoted at me: what you've done is pulled together about 15 observations (way too few) and leapt to an heroic conclusion. That simply does not pass for comprehensive statistical analysis. It's a single metric. (Why that metric over others to demonstrate the conclusion? Why not a combination of metrics?) The data you've produced is then not analysed with statistical method but is simply asserted. It also abstracts from defensive characteristics, which will be related to the metric you chose. And it abstracts from context. (E.g. Maybe the current balance between attack and defence -- which may lead to a few games with 0 shots on target but on average over the course of the rest of the season may gain us more points -- is the best course of action for this squad?)
