Sam Allardyce

[jceverton]

Oh, so you think no one would have noticed how bad we apparently played had he not mentioned it?

Missing the point. The reason we played so bad was because he made major changes to the team/formation without being able to properly prepare the players.

Looks like he does just care about the money.....

..not sure, Neil. I wonder whether it’s more about him not having the ability to do anything else.

Which street?

Sam is effectively our 3rd manager this season. None of them have been able to get our defence sorted
Koeman was a word class defender, Unsworth was a decent Premiership defender and Big Sam a manager with a long history of sorting defence's out and keeping poor sides up.

Is this as much the players fault?

Did you actually watch the video?

What video?

 

[jceverton]

Bit like when Koeman said it was easy to sort out our defensive frailties and next game we got stuffed 5-0 away against Chelsea

Yep always better to do the goading after you’ve got the result!

Johny Shoe Shine told him mate

People need to understand that the players Allardyce has inherited are garbage left behind by Koeman and Martinez. Theo Walcott, one of Allardyce's signing, has been shining. Alllardyce needs to be given the summer with proper financial backing, to get rid of a lot of garbage and invest in good signings, which should form a spine of our team, like he did with Walcott. Let's not forget, Allardyce dug us out of this relegation battle.

Coronation Street probably, Bills got him a walk on

That's a hell of a nickname they've given Allardyce on Toffeeweb: "Samosaurus"

Ha Ha Ha. Perfect.

 

[jceverton]

I'm not defending him, but look at this sh!thouse here, the players have to take some blame.

Unsworth finally sussed Schneiderlin out when he dropped him and made his comments after the West Ham game. Allardyce has had a lot longer and is still playing him. That’s on him.

 

[jceverton]

I am seriously wondering whether he is fully compos mentis . I mean consider he facts . He declares Siggurdson and Rooney can't play in the same team then promptly plays them in the only truly successful side he's picked since he's been here. He then allows one of our best young players to leave on loan, then has some weird hissy fit because he chose a top German side as opposed to some no-mark championship side.
Today he totally rips up that one successful side, goes ultra defensive which includes a CB signed just a few days earlier. After the inevitable denouement, he has another hissy fit blaming the players and reveals he tried to copy another team tactics.
Moshiri should call in the doctors and have him declared unfit to manage, should save a few bob. Perhaps he's suffering from the early onset of senile dementia.
Or he could just be utter crap at his job.

He’s just utter crap at his job mate! Simple as that.

Hanging the players out to dry after setting a team up like that.

The ego on him. I cannot wait to see the back of this fella, never ever good enough for EFC.
