for once the pre match fume around the team selection was justified. A asian betting ring could not have set a result up any better. Makes you wonder how many bought the spread on that match for plus 3/4 goals. quite a few thousand would be my guess.
 
What’s missed out from those quotes is Allardyce admitting that they hadn’t had time to work on the formation/style of play since Wednesday and had just looked at videos of Swansea playing and talked it through.

Here’s a clue you Neanderthal, don’t try and play a different style/formation if you haven’t worked on it on the training pitch just play same formation/team as on Wednesday night!

Arsenal Gameplan.webp


A six million pound joke.
 

The players dont send out three central defenders who haven't played together before to the slaughter.

The feller is a clown and needs binning right now.

Never wanted him, but since he's been appointed I've tried to be patient and give him a fair crack at it. I can accept people making mistakes, but if he's not prepared to accept any responsibility, he won't learn from those mistakes and he's seriously going to undermine any chance of getting the players to play for him when he behaves like that.

I hope to God the club are doing everything they can to get someone like Ragnick in next season, but let's face it, nothing they've done recently would indicate they've got any semblance of a coherent plan for the future.
 
Everton manager Sam Allardyce said: "It was a disaster. I think I have a lot of trouble with the players taking onto the pitch what we asked them to do. Consistency has been a worry since that burst when I came in, the fact we can perform at that level against Leicester then dip so low in the first 45 minutes against Arsenal.

"The longer and longer I go on, the players are showing so much inconsistency that I face an uphill battle trying to get them to play at their best week in, week out. It was a pathetic first-half performance."

Sam Allardyce to MOTD: "You set out to block the areas Arsenal like to play in, we had the same gameplan that Swansea had on Tuesday. We studied how Swansea played, how defensively sound they were and how they limited Arsenal to very few chances.

"Swansea only had 30% possession but created chances, but I may as well have been talking in a foreign language. We didn't implement my plans either defensively or offensively and the game was dead and buried.

"It doesn't matter what system I pick, it's aboutplayers playing to their best. You can show them

—————————————

Even Koeman admit his mistake and take the blame for certain games but big Sam feels he’s above everyone at the club.

You setup a team with no passing ability and expect them to do well against Arsenal? The best way to play against Arsenal for the past 5 years is to hurt them before they break you down but you choose a team of timid footballer who cannot string 10 passes or create anything decent and let Arsenal launch waves after waves of Attack. Fat utter weapon.
Bottom of the league Swansea are our template on how to play.

Just get this mess out of Everton FC.
 
I’m sure I’m only repeating what everyone else has said but that line up and formation tonight was simply unforgivable. I don’t even know what the plan was supposed to be there tonight.

When he first came in I wasn’t actually that bothered whether Sam was still in charge next season or not, but that selection tonight has helped make my mind up, get rid in the summer or earlier if we are mathematically safe, and clear out the majority of the players and start again.

I’ve never been so disheartened by an Everton team in my entire life.
 
Today was thankfully the nail in the coffin of any idea he might be here come July.

Thats at least a positive. Not only the dreadful performance, but his refusal to take any responsibility will make sure he gets canned. Moshiri isnt buying "it doesnt matter what system I pick".
 

After the interview things got clear for me. It is not about the players. It's all about this crappy manager which doesn't even respect the club.

Tell me what manager mate, makes 7 changes, completely changes the formation, then admits he only had time to work on it by getting the players to watch videos of Swansea and then blames the players. The guys an absolute beaut!

If I was a player hearing him spout that rubbish I’d be livid.
 
When will we get a manager that sticks to a system and personnel that suit it? our best years under moyes were built on it, leicster won the title doing it. Why keep chopping and changing the side for the opposition. We have never done that till this car crash of a season.
Because he does not care ONE iota.

The club is just to swell his retirement pot,he's been in retirement mode since he left West Ham,he's a gun for hire to save clubs and get paid 6 million a year.

This is what happens when you hire a dinosaur manager with tactics stuck in the dark ages of English football's 1980's where his generation of coaches were inspired by Charles Hughes 3 passes for a goal philosophy and long ball tactics.Allardyce Pulis Hodgson are cut from the same cloth.This is what is expected when you hire a manager who has not won ONE trophy in nearly 30 years of management,who's football teams play turgid backwards football that numbs the brain that it's like watching paint dry.

The game has moved on,the best generation of coaches in football today who are in the 40's play a expansive high pressing quick style edge of the seat football,we have a dinosaur manager who's stuck in in a time bubble from the 1980's who thinks his type of backwards neanderthal football works in 2018.
 
I know people are upset...

But there's no real basis for it. Turned over by top clubs but won the majority of the games against the teams we think we should beat.

Koeman's sacking was a completely different beast.

There's no real footballing basis for it, as we're doomed to limp home with 40-odd points whether Allardyce is in charge or Guardiola.

I'd appreciate it if Moshiri showed Allardyce the door early if this is the best he can serve up and there's nothing more of value to lose on the pitch as it'd at least show he's as deeply dissatisfied as the fans are and isn't at all happy to achieve survival and no more.
