Does Allardyce deserve some credit?

[James Patrick]

No, but bizarre how Koeman incurs less vitriol.

 

[bluesb1970]

I absolutely loathe the man, but i think he deserves some credit for some of the tough medication he gave us in dragging us out of the mess Koeman had created.

- Retiring Rooney as a striker (Koeman showed no indication of doing it)
- Binning the multiple number 10s (ok we sometimes played Rooney with Sig out wide but the days of seeing Rooney Klaasen Siggurdson and Sandro in one team were over)
- Buying Tosun and Walcott (both will arguably be in Silva’s 11)
- Rehabilitating Coleman and Baines from long term injury
- Establishing Mason Holgate as a prem CB
- Reviving Schneiderlin (I despise the coward but by the end he at least had him looking like a passable midfielder we might be able to sell rather than a pile of horse manure)
- Giving Jonjoe Kenny substantial game time.
- Establishing a way of playing to beat the bottom 13 at home.


He had many many many faults, and I’m not sure i’ll ever see a worse Everton performance than the one against Arsenal. He also thought it sensible to loan out Besic and Lookman. But now that the rage has died down is it time to consider that he may have laid an ok foundation for Silva to build on (in comparison to the utter shower that Koeman left in place)? Silva May end up using the same formation and quite a few of
Allardyde’s first 11 including his 2 buys in his best lineup. Does he deserve a smattering of credit?

Sorry mate I think you can attribute a couple of things to SA but you’re clutching at straws with some of those suggestions

 

[Topblue]

No. Not any. At all. Ever.

Lols

Back by Christmas.

He deserves less credit than he would take for himself. I think that’s why I’m reluctant to give him his due.

 

[irishtony1878]

Close the thread please, he deserves nothing but contempt from us.
Exactly what he gave us

 

[RomanReigns]

No

 

[tonyhorne]

Well, he got us safe pretty quickly. Surely this was the chance to set things up for the following season?

Go on then Sam, show us what you've got.

It turns out that was it. Nothing changed. He carried on trying to copy the tactics of relegation-threatened teams to try and scrape a point from just about every side he faced.

A missed opportunity Sam. You did yourself, and Everton, no good at all...

. Does he deserve a smattering of credit?

 

[Yank]

you deserve a ban for this thread, in reponse

- Retiring Rooney as a striker (Koeman showed no indication of doing it)- Rooney got binned as a striker 4 years ago
- Binning the multiple number 10s (ok we sometimes played Rooney with Sig out wide but the days of seeing Rooney Klaasen Siggurdson and Sandro in one team were over) he had no choice because they aren't very good, sandro isn't a number 10 either
- Buying Tosun and Walcott (both will arguably be in Silva’s 11) fair play on tosuon, Walcott was offered around me were the ones who could match his wages
- Rehabilitating Coleman and Baines from long term injury- wow, what a load of nonsense, coleman was about 6 months into a broken leg by the time he came
- Establishing Mason Holgate as a prem CB- when your other options are Williams/keane/jags do you want a medal?
- Reviving Schneiderlin (I despise the coward but by the end he at least had him looking like a passable midfielder we might be able to sell rather than a pile of horse manure)- he had about 4 decent games at the end, like 4 though hardly got him nominated for the ballon d'or
- Giving Jonjoe Kenny substantial game time.- coleman/baines were both injured who else did he have to play?
- Establishing a way of playing to beat the bottom 13 at home. what? like WBA/Southampton?


you have well and truly ruined my day with this sh1t, well done

I wish I could like this post more than once.

He deserves some credit just like Koeman and Martinez before him did.

 

[CRIMHEAD]

We were tied for 12th, two point out of ninth when he took over. He got Baines and Coleman back from injury, he avoided the tough part of our schedule, he had no Europe to worry about, almost no cup games, he then got to buy 50M worth of player in January and didn’t bin any of our clowns. He played miserable football, ridiculed our fan base every chance he got, and we got to 8th. So he had the benefit of all those things and basically we gained 3 points on the field, all while humiliating our club.

He deserves credit for nothing.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Did the job he was asked to do

 

[Jimishorts]

Rinse and repeat

 

[Walsall Blue]

All he did was rape our club for millions. The big fat tw@t.
