Allardyce Explains Klaassen Snub

[kenada_blue]

Bit harsh.
Osman and Arteta were not built like Mike Tyson either.

But they were better in other areas.

"Davy Klaassen is still an anomaly to me, as to will he or won't he?

"If I had the opportunity to play him I would, but I haven't because I've got to win. So I don't have the luxury of saying 'go on, give it a go lad!' because if we lose it's me that gets the stick.

I know this a bit like fact checking Trump or looking for logic where non exists but a couple of things:
1) The definition of an anomaly is a person or thing that has an abnormality or strays from common rules or methods. A person born with two heads is an example of an anomaly. So how is Davy Klaasen an 'anomaly'? did he mean to say that DK is an 'enigma'? Does he even know what an anomaly is?
2) He has lost 8 premier league games since coming here and after every game he has stressed how it was not his responsibility. He has blamed the fans, blamed the players, blamed the weather, anyone but BFS. Evertonians would rather see us try to win but in 21 games we have almost NEVER seen that.

This man is a liar, a fool and an abomination that stains our football club. He must go before the season ends. Every day he is here is a tacit approval of his methods, his manner and his lies. He is damaging our players and our club

Met up with an old friend and had a few with him (I'm usually pretty dry and only indulge about once a month). As such I will refrain from commenting (apart from this post) as it would only result in a banning or a "this post has been removed for poor language" or some such.
Fu(k off fat sam

Someone's obviously had a little more than I have.

"So if I haven't got that luxury. If the opportunity comes along for anybody, be it through injury or suspension, hopefully he can show us what he's got."

Klaassen's confidence must be sky high after that.

And if the lad was to play in those games and put in stellar performances each game you can imagine Sam saying "well there was no pressure on those fixtures so you cannot make a fair judgment "

After those 5 games fat sam won’t be our manager, so no-one will be asking him questions about Everton players anyway

Schneiderlin (derby not withstanding) has been playing walking football all season but still gets games.

Klaassen struggled just as everyone did at the start of the season. Everyone else was allowed to find their feet (Sigurdsson, Rooney) and he was exiled and has played 6 minutes of league football since.

Allardyce has spent more time than that criticising him in the press since he came in.

Whether you rate him or not the way he's been managed is nothing short of a disgrace.

What's he supposed to do when the manager constantly puts him down to journalists but he doesn't get a chance on the pitch to prove himself?

Well said. Some players have been riding their luck for months and even years with poor performances yet they get chance after chance. This has been a big reason why roberto and koeman got the bullet and will be a big part of the reason Sam will get the bullet. Has dcl been anything more than bang average? No but he gets chance after chance. Has snides been anything more than woeful but he retains his place.

End of day saying the above and making aother poor decisions (sam " rooney and siggy cant really play together" ...he then plays them together. Sam "rooney cant play in midfield against top sides ...he plays rooney in a 2 man midfield)

Im glad he gor us 40 points but like koeman and martinez he is organising his own downfall and if i could ask him 1 question it would be does he realsie that these decisions will mean he will not be here next season.

 

[ilikecheese]

Fat coward.

 

[Chris R]

If they're not going to play the guy after paying so much for him, then either loan him out to give him minutes or outright let him go.

 

[trueblue84]

Isn't it the same with funes Mori as well? He's been fit for ages yet we've still persisted with Keane and Williams.

 

[Agent Blue]

But they were better in other areas.

But do we know that for sure?

 

[PeregrineT]

Hah, its like watching a parody of a manager.

Sure, he cant play the guy, because they might lose, but then he continues to play 3 players game in and game out who have already showed they guarantee we lose.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

If I was Klaassen I would feel very insulted by that-dismissed as a trialist who can’t be trusted in a competitive match.

Brainless for any manager to destroy a player like that.

Been on the wagon since '96 mate - this is my normal state sadly.
