Sam Allardyce

[trueblue10]

And looks like we are giving him £50 mill to spend....

Looking at our performance yesterday 50 Mill won't even begin to sort out the utter mess this club is in.

 

[trueblue10]

Don’t give this man an ounce of cash. We’ll be lumbered with yard dogs

We have a squad of yard dogs as it is.

The money we are wasting is staggering. We spent more on Siggurdsson, Klaassen, Scheniderlin and Bolasie then the RS have on Mane, Salah, Coutinho and Firminho. We are looking to spend another £45m on Tosun and Nzonzi when they've got Naby Keita for that.

Ha Ha Ha. That is an amazing stat.

That should be tatooed on Koeman's forehead so other club owners dont make the same mistake our clown's made.

Moans he doesn’t get the top jobs

Parks a bus at West Brom and Bournemouth

Rooney. Siggy, Niasse, Lennon and Bolasie all on the pitch at the final whistle.

That's not parking the bus.

Those 5 were all on the pitch when they scored their second goal.

We have got to face the truth sometime.

At the moment, we do not have the talent at this club to take the game to any team in the Premier League.

Our defence is still very fragile.

JJK is a kid learning his trade the hard way.

Williams and Jags should be featuring only as cover.

Martina , well words fail me.

That line up needs all the help it can get, that is why Sam picks 2 or 3 DM's a game.

Surely, surely Sam is just here to organise us in the short term and move on? Keep us up, shake hands, thank Sam and off he goes.

There is nothing in his career to suggest he can improve teams in the long term, scout good players or integrate youth. The idea of giving him £50m to buy players is ridiculous. We have a bloated squad as it is.

What people forget as well is we don’t have the money or saleable assets anymore to finance a constant turnover of players. All those flops you’ve mentioned (slightly harsh on bolasie)- how much money would we recoup on them if they were to be sold tomorrow? For my mind we’re looking at losses on them all. It’s just terrible business all round and not sustainable.

City botched their keeper last year, so they just go out this year and buy a new one- because they have the money to do so. What exactly are we going to do this summer, especially with Sam in charge? Until we have a net spend of over £100 million, to an extent we’ll always have to sell to buy. And who exactly is left to sell?

The manager is good in grinding out results when parking the bus. Unfortunately when he instructed the team to pass more and trying to be offensive （after 70 mins yesterday） It does not work. If he intended to get a point yesterday we should bring Williams on not Bolasie.

 

[little elfin]

It's official now. This season every teams (the opponent) play better football than us. lol

 

[trueblue10]

That’s because he got the balance all wrong though. Rooney in a midfield two is never going to work, right footed bolasie in front of right footed Martina on the left meaning we had no width on that side. Awful tactics from start to finish.

FFS

We haven't got any other options in those positions.

Name me one player in our squad who is fit, that is left footed, and can play left back?

Name me one player in our squad who is fit, left footed, and can play wide left?

He was trying to win the game!!!!!!!!!!

That's what everybody on here wanted him to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He replaced his park the bus set up, with a more attacking line up, to try and win the game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And still he gets slated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed.

He took Gana off and bring Bolasie on. Rooney moved to CM with Schneiderlin. We became so wide open. Sam was so negative in the beginning but after we got the first goal he was going for a win after 70 mins. The subs showed that.

From 3 DM in the first half to 1 DM after 70 mins. No addition defender coming on.

 

[trueblue10]

We are horrific. No team is as unbalanced as this, teams might be low on quality but at least they have enough players to play in positions familiar to them. Cuco Martina, a mid-table League 1 right back is our first choice left back because the previous obese moron of a manager decided not to buy or register one. Phil Jagielka, our worst ever captain who's been finished for 4 years, is a starting centre back. Oumar Niasse and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are our goal threat. That's as bad as it gets in this league.

This,

The sooner some of our so called supporters wake up and face the truth about our squad, the better.

He parked the bus.

Parking the bus got us to 1-1.

Changing to a more attacking line up lost us the game 2-1.

What would you prefer?

@Zatara
Unsworth slaughtered by lots of blues and in the media - points return 7 in 4 games (1.75 points per game)
Allardyce - being lauded by a lot of blues and the media - points return 12 in 7 games (1.71 points per game)

Fair enough we got slaughtered by Saints in a terrible worrying performance, but honestly mate the last two games against West Brom and Bournemouth - we have mustered 4 shots on target - and none in the first half of either game.

are next two league games are Man U at home, followed by Spurs away - honest opinion how do you thin Big Fat Sams points return will look after 9 games in charge?

IF we lose the next two games - Allardyce will have 12 in 9 games (1.3 per game) - basically a 50 point season average


I honestly believe the luck bubble burst today, hand on heart you can't argue the fact we should have lost both the derby and to Chelsea and to West Brom, and at most got a draw from the Newcastle game - if luck would have been level we'd have been sat with about 7 out the last 7 games mate, which history shows is Allardyce's level.

I like unsworth

The thing is though I think the players were spoken to by allardyce before the wham game and that's partly why we got a win.

Who knows what would have happened also if unsworth got the job permanently....

Exactly. If he went by his rule he should have bought on Williams. I rather have 1 point than zero.
