Sam Allardyce

[davek]

I've written this season off mate. Anything other than the dog fight we were getting in to, is a bonus now.
I've said it before, but we're limping in to the transfer window, and I'm going to judge him on that.
Awful football today, but we've still got some pretty awful players.

The last decent football we saw was the West Ham game...and some on here laughably insist that the game plan was set out by Allardyce. lollollol

A point away at WBA who are fighting to stay up is not bad I guess.

Especially considering our 2 best players Wayne and Gana are out.

Lets hope with the transfer window approaching it starts to get better.

Half decent manager would have sorted us out

The way I see it, we would have lost today had we continued as we were. The football is terrible going forward but we are not losing. Looking back over the recent games - Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and West Brom away - we would have lost all of them had SA not arrived. Instead we took 6 points and avoided another humiliation at Analfield, whist almost certainly ending any hopes they had of the title this year. We beat West Ham (lucky win) and we beat Swansea. The Southampton performance confirmed the players were drifting and not able to turn it around on their own. Now they have purpose and are getting points. It's not pretty, it's miles away from the School of Science but we are staying in the Premier League at a time when when we are planning and financing a new ground that will define our future. I'll take it for now.

I'm in a funny position: I'm grateful that 'kin idiot Koeman is gone - very grateful - but this football is appalling if effective. I dont mind him as an individual either.

I said when he signed for us that the difference between Koeman and Allardyce was the difference between destruction and a hefty kick in the balls. I've seen nothing to change my mind.

Dear Sam,

Practice attacking as a unit.

Not me mate, but still think he had the "new man effect". You're right about the performance though, albeit we came up against a very poor team, and rode our luck at times.
It's been a funny old season though, that's for sure. It's been a while since I've been praying for 40 points this early in a season.

We got lucky there against West Ham.We were getting battered early 2nd half and had they scored that pen, almost certainly a draw for them minimum. Pickford saved our skins that night and papered over the problems under Rhino. Rooney's moment of brilliance won it for us. It was the same against Watford - anybody who thinks Unsworth was the answer is seriously mistaken.

At least he knows, just needs to work on it now.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce: "Our football was average in possession, which continues to concern me. We are building blocks in terms of being resilient but we need to be better in possession.

"We've got another point, another clean sheet and we look forward to our injured and ill players come back so that, certainly in possession, we can get better."

He's said this a lot. He cant keep on saying it and producing f.a. going forward.

I suggest he acts on his own words.

Imagine if you'd had a strong opinion and already done the reverse-weasel on it, only to watch our last two "performances" lol lol lol

"Building blocks" was an Unnnnnnnnsy cliche too

I admit your a bad ted.

Lucky? We won 4-0 mate. "Lucky" is hanging on against Chelsea at home when they have 25 shots.

You can always look at a game over 90 minutes and say this could have happened and that could have have happened and we got away with this and that; fact of the matter is that we played very well at times and thumped another PL team 4-0.

We wont get performances like that from any SA team, it's not what he does.

I understand that and accept it. I just dont wont this to continue beyond May, and I cant understand any patience with it beyond then from any Evertonian. It's dog days football. Just 'kin awful.

A win against Bournemouth on sat though and it'd make his start here one that only the most fervent of Allardyce haters could argue against.
