Everton’s transfer plan flawed as Ademola Lookman lights up Leipzig
February 5 2018, 12:01am,
Paul Joyce, Comment
Sam Allardyce might have hoped that his critique of Everton’s pathetic (his words) defeat by Arsenal would, in some way, have soothed the pain and yet he only succeeded in adding to the sense of disillusionment festering among a seething support.
The headline confession that he had borrowed the game plan of Swansea City, who had beaten Arsène Wenger’s side four days earlier, and attempted to replicate it overlooked the reality that he has different players. For a start he has Michael Keane, not Alfie Mawson, in his defence.
However, it was the reasoning behind his insistence that Ademola Lookman would have made no difference to an abject 5-1 reverse at the Emirates that served to expose the sheer scale of the mess that has enveloped Everton.

“No,” Allardyce said. “We’ve got £20 million Theo Walcott and £30 million Yannick Bolasie and if you’d put him [Lookman] out there he wouldn’t have done any better than the rest because the whole team played crap.”
Never mind that Lookman had just stepped off the substitutes’ bench for Champions League-chasing RB Leipzig in his first game after his deadline day loan move to Germany, streaked past Borussia Mönchengladbach’s retreating defenders before finding the corner of the net in a cutting cameo that his parent club have been crying out for this season.
By Allardyce’s rationale, £21 million Cenk Tosun would have come on before £1.5million Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the second half. That the Turkey forward did not is something else for Everton to worry about. Everton are surely the last club that should be equating price tags to quality given the bucket loads of money they have wasted over the past 18-months in arguably the worst spending spree in football history and one which has left director of football, Steve Walsh, enduring death by 200 million cuts.
Competition is tough but Lookman may actually stand as the most pertinent symbol of Everton’s flawed transfer strategy.
One tranche of Walsh’s policy was to recruit the best youngsters in the country. Lookman arrived from Charlton Athletic last January for £11 million only to become so desperate to leave within 12 months due to a lack of opportunities that he was prepared to go against Everton’s wishes by moving to the Bundesliga rather than Championship high-fliers Derby County.

One of the Merseyside club’s unique selling points has been their willingness to give youth a chance and they can reel out the statistics that point out that they have given more minutes to youngsters than any other top-flight club this season. Yet examine that more closely and the burden was placed on them because a replacement for Romelu Lukaku was not immediately recruited.
Jonjoe Kenny has played primarily because of injuries, while Tom Davies has been in and out of the side during a difficult second season.
Allardyce was brought in to steer the club away from the relegation zone. He will do that despite the weekend embarrassment. But Everton are not just losing games, they are in danger of losing their identity.

Seriously, imagine other managers coming out with 'crap'. He loves himself. He loves that his big fat head will be featured on LADBible, etc.
Odious tit.

We look like a team that has 3 managers in 3 years, disjointed and lost. World cups seasons are always difficult for the recruitment and you pay premium for established players who are wrapped up in contracts, ignoring obvious caveat.

Allardyce is a pitiful choice as a manager. Just get rid of this utter clown.
The minute we get another 2 wins, the knives need to come out and the rebellion must begin.
In the meantime, get sharpening....
Those who wanted him, cried that we were going down and he was the only one who could save us

NEA about the 40 point guff people are saying we need before we should sack him, sack him now.
We wait until the seasons end there's a chance the media and BFS manage to spin this 40 point survival act into some kind of worthy achievement which keeps him in the job another season, or even worse gets him a longer contract.
Hire this lid from PSV to become a proper DOF (or any other genuinely proven one), get in Fonseca from Shaktar (even if he won't join till their CL campaign is finished - who cares if it gets you the right manager), let them spend the next 10-12 games figuring out whose staying whose leaving and who needs to be taken out back and shot, the 'new manager' bounce alone would get us above the safety line anyway.

He hasn't got long left IMO, Joyce, King both putting the boot in today, and seeing Ladymans name on a article slaughtering him - doesn't get more heavyweight than that in reality.
Media turns on BFS he's absolutely screwed as the fans already hate his guts
Especially Butters.

The man's a skid-mark on our club, I am genuinely embarrassed to have him as a manager. He comes out game after game completely blameless for the shambles we have to watch. Moaning that it's the players! they aren't doing what he's asking, they aren't responding to instructions, aren't showing consistency! Why make so many changes to a winning team?? How can we show consistency when you make 5 changes. When you drop our better players to fit in oxygen thieves like Morgan Schneiderlin.
He's comments about Swansea and trying to replicate their system just go to highlight why he's not good enough to be our manager.
