Maybe Sam isn't as hopeless as I thought. Agreed that he needs to play centrally. It's sad that our most composed player on the ball is a 20 year old from the Croatian league.

..i’m actually very impressed by Allardyce’s interviews. He says the right things (as far as i’m oncerned) about the teams shortcomings and where he wants them to improve.
 

...happy that Allardyce has come out today and praised Vlasic. Allardyce saying the right things about needing to get him in possession in the top third.

The lad is a fine prospect if we play him centrally.

Fans lap up younger players being praised though mate, and the cynic says he is playing to the gallery with those comments, especially as his rep with trusting younger players isn't exactly great

He is a charismatic man no doubt. I'm glad he had the balls to drop Siggy for a match as well. Where we really fall short as of right now is having a team that can play football against the minnows such as Bournemouth and Newcastle. We just have to improve whether it be tactically or in the starting 11. How Schneiderlin continues to feature is beyond me. Vlasic also needs to stake his claim, but he should have been given an opportunity earlier. At least he recognizes that.

....I know you (and I) were keen to see Vlasic in the team but looking at last nights game I do understand the reluctance to play him and Lookman at the moment. As you said in the transfer thread, the acquisition of the right players could bring out the best in some of our fringe players. Until then, I think we have to accumulate points the hard way.

By the way, surely Allardyce meant what he said about Vlasic.
 
..he’s a liability defensively. He either leaves a big void or is totally lost if he does track back.

I think he would have to learn that side of the game, just as Barkley did last year. I’m not convinced that he’s ready to play centrally as you have to be exceptional to do that no 10 role in premiership as that area is so congested. IIRC earlier in the season he was having decent games playing wide and Koeman moves him centrally and he disappeared from the game. I think he needs a bit of space to thrive - a bit like Barkley really.

..it’s a very good point about him learning that part of the game. I was never a fan of Barkley playing out there.

Its easy to be critical when you can imply that you have not had an opportunity to sign your own players. Tories have been doing it for years blaming anything that's wrong on the previous labour government. People for some reason tend to believe it.

..agree, but I don’t hear him blaming anybody. He just highlights the teams shortcomings which appear to be the same points as being made on here.

He’s only had the job for about a month! If he was to keep saying it 8 years into the job then your analogy would make sense. We all know that the squad is lacking.
 
Big interview with Nixi in croatian newspaper. Important stuff, he wants to play more, if NOT then leave ON LOAN, clubs name or league is NOT important, Just wants to play.
Btw, Unsy drop him from Squad without explanation

Little more details.
He s NOT unhappy, but he wants play more so he Can advanced as player "trening cant replace game", if I continue to play so little games "we Will in January Bring New players, so it Will be even harder to get into team" he Will talk with club to send him on loan. "Q" Do you Will ask for some Premiership club for eventualna loan? "A" No, any club any league where they need me. Playing games and be on form is only way to recive Dalić invitation for WC in Russia (Dalić is croatian national team manager).
He likes club, praises Rooney "cool guy who calm US down and gives advices".
OH, Unsy." He Just remove me from Squad without any explanation, but People in club say to me not to worry, thats normal. (My note , THATS NORMAL??? )
rest is talking about Pogba, game vs ManUtd, Croatian national team etc

This is me not him -Send him to some Championship club who really needs central midfielder, and he Will do the rest.
