Harsh. You can only work with the tools you have. Judge him at the end of the season, if we are still playing bad offensively then you have a point. (although 6 months is still a short period to try and change things)
I'm sure we can play better going forward by moving up the starting positions on the pitch and having a more attacking formation but when we start leaking goals again due to not having the pace and organisation I for one won't find that good football.
For what it's worth I think we will play ok against Bournemouth, they tend not to press as hard as most teams and won't hold back numbers attacking us. With a bit of space we should be ok, but it would be a bonus to get Rooney back.

I can see why people are unhappy. Before Sam we were expansive and free flowing. He has stopped us being embarrassed. The absolute beaut.

Bournemouth, like West Brom, are a bottom three team. Since they beat Newcastle and Huddersfield, they have gone nine games without a win. And they have got an injury list as long as ours, if not longer. It looks a good opportunity to try for three points.
However, this is the third game of the Christmas period and limbs are getting tired. New faces may well be seen on both sides. So there is an element of the unknown about it.
Will Sam rest players for league points against Manchester United and a cup win against Liverpool? Or will he see Bournemouth as our best chance of success?

Come on people. Get a grip!
The West Brom game was disappointing because we played awfully and didn’t win. I get it. I too was bored senseless by our inept display away to a team who hadn’t won in 17 games and who have Alan “I’m a walking ‘kin kn0bhead” Pardew as manager. However, we didn’t lose and the clean sheet will noboubt add some more confidence to what was, a few weeks ago, the worst back line in the division.
If there was one thing you could definitely credit BSA for it would be that a few weeks ago we had shipped more goals than anyone else, and 7 games later there are 9 other teams that have now conceded either the same or more than we have. That is outstanding!
I think we’d have been all made up if we’d have won against WB with a scrappy 1-0. However football is a results business and we didn’t so now sam’s footballing style must take criticism. Yes Koeman or Unsworth May have won that game, but both those managers would’ve sent us into the RS and Chelsea games like lambs to the slaughter. Yes, we were lucky at anfield but even if we hadn’t have got that pen a 1-0loss is easily better than a humiliating 5-1.
Key point:
What I would ask people who don’t like our current manager is this: did you feel more angry after West brom 0-0 or Bournemouth 3-3 under Martinez 2 years ago? For me the clear winner is Bournemouth. Yes we played better football and scored some goals, but didn’t win the game because we had a manager who hadn’t worked on set pieces, fitness and game management. With Sam we don’t have that. He will milk every point out of this team that he can. That, for me is the most important thing. We’d all love to be playing and winning like man city but sometimes that isn’t possible with what you have.
It’s been said on here before by many but we have to give Sam time. He needs at least a window. We currently have a horrible squad of players. It lacks pace, width, height, some players are too old, some players are too young, some players have bad attitude problems, long term injuries, and there’s too much depth in some positions and not enough in others. Seriously if Moshiri and Bill have a chat with Walsh about January and the first 2 names he mentions aren’t a striker and a left back they should sack him on the spot.
If in May BSA is still turning in these types of performances then the arguments I’ve seen above are justified and we can start to see what else is out there. But for the moment he’s doing ok.

Needs to be given a chance once the injured players are back and he's had chance to bring in 2-3 players in Jan.
We don't need to give him time.
He is here to do a job of keeping us in the league.
If he does that (and it is looking good) then he'll have earned his £6m a year salary and we can part on good terms.
Any idea that we should be giving him money to spend on transfers and looking to employ him in the long term are ridiculous. The longer he is here the more difficult it will be to do the long term squad building we need to do to get anywhere near winning a trophy.

If you were going to pick a game to win (with some actual football being played) it would be this one. Expect the same as at WBA against the other two.
