Sam Allardyce

[Baines' left foot]

Worst possible appointment. He has left his last few jobs in a toxic state, not good for us considering we were toxic when he took over. He has proven how rubbish he is by sticking with koemans failed tactics.

We were never going down and as opppsed to writing off the season we should have made an appointment for the long term.

He’s a deluded spoofer and not a very good one. And he’s now reverting to form by blaming the players week in week out. Pro footballers are like chess peices, hence the value of a good manager. Our crowd still look clueless.

I honestly think he wants to finish around 15th so he can always claim to have saved Everton in our time of need

I think we could have appointed many a worse manager but we left it so late after sacking Koeman that we completely ran out of options. The club should have had a plan in place and sacked Koeman when they'd settled on a new manager. Waiting 6 weeks played perfectly in to Allardyce's hands.

I don't agree that he left his last few clubs in a toxic state. Palace have pushed on since he left and he kept Sunderland up despite them being awful. They've since dropped like a stone.

I was satisfied at first with the way the first few games went, most people would have been. But these are worrying signs. The thing is though we were in such a bad position that I don't think any ambitious manager with half a brain would have come to us.

Agree..but what do we do ??? Boo? Don't think so mate...big banner ?? zzzz have you not realised that moshiri, billy liar, suntan [Poor language removed], et al do not have a clue and also they don't care. We are stuck with them ...its not as if we weren't warned.But all fans did was clap clap clap. Maybe too late now??

It’s never too late. I’ll be there on Saturday, making my opinion known. Don’t care who disagrees with it.

It's not his team. Guardiola would do no better with these players.

Naa he would though

Stop this excuse. He’s sam allardayce and if we had 11 Ronaldos we would still play the same

Would you settle for a 19 stone monster bird in a liverpool shirt at 3 am on a Saturday night just because she grabbed your ass??

Fake news

He'll see us comfortably safe - I reckon 46-50 points and the very definition of midtable.

This is nowhere near good enough, but I admit I was genuinely nervous about relegation at end of Ronald's time and (as much as I wanted him to be the short term answer) also Unsworth prior to West Ham. Sam was necessary once Silva was a no-go, Unsworth kept losing, and no one else was fluttering eyelids at us.

The real annoyance for me is the millions that it is going to cost us to send him and his team on their way in summer. Rather than 18 months on 6m a year in the big picture it would have been better to give him 7/8m for 6 months work knowing we would shake hands at the end of it.

I cannot believe even this board will be blind enough to waste another season by keeping him in place for 18/19.

The attitude that 'Sam was necessary' is partly why we are in the mess we are. Now we have Big Sam for the next few years. And even worse he now gets to pick the players who come in. Massive waste of time and money. If he goes in the summer (which I doubt). We will be left with the players he has picked- Just like we have done with Koemans players. If he stays you know the rest....Massive amount of wasted money! The cycle continues!!!!!

With our defence I don't think it matters who the manager is.

Guardiola would never, ever work with these players if his life depended on it.

 

[sheedys left foot]

What you're saying is just pure conjecture and guesswork based on absolutely nothing. We have a squad that is objectively putrid, as proven by our performances all season, under 3 different managers.

Indeed, I can’t see the tour lady getting the job.

In relation to your take on the squad not performing for 3 different managers, the idiots are all implementing the same formation, tactics and lack of balance.

If you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always get what you’ve always got.

Needs to have a look at himself before chatting wham about going back to basics.

Everybody in the fcking league knows you don't go to Spurs and try and go toe to toe because it's inevitable that Kane will take his chances. What Allardyce is basically saying after the game is that he's had a go at this attacking lark but now it's back to his way of everybody behind the ball.

It's classic passing the buck behaviour and I honestly would be surprised if he starts referring to himself in the third person before too long. It's the same stuff with Dyche as well, they firmly believe that because they are English they don't get half the credit they deserve. In reality they both play poo on a stick football and have massively inflated ego's despite winning nothing.

Where was the attacking though? Usually when you attack you come away with shots on target. We did nothing.

 

[dannyboy]

It's not his team. Guardiola would do no better with these players.

When you look at how bad West Ham were under Billic and how Moyes has them playing now you can see the difference a manager can make.

Could you genuinely see us going to Huddersfield and winning 4-1?

Well then I'll do it

 

[BrendanGOT]

Going by his sound bites this is Sams way of showing and telling us that his boring defensive way is the only way we can get anything out of games. A way of justifying playing that way til the end of the season maybe

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

He has just said on MOTD that we need to be more boring.....
This is Everton ffs

How can we be more boring when we have 0 shots on target.
