Sam Allardyce

[hktoffee]

At 1-1 Sam takes Rooney off for a defender and gets a point.
Martinez would have brought Lookman on, gone for the win and we lose.

Shut up shop. That’s what I like.

10 goals scored, 1 conceded since Allardyce announced. I know the opposition till today wasn't up to much but we drew with Limassol under Koeman so...

School of hard knocks is here! All hail Big Sam.

A job done. Nothing less, nothing more.

Still unbeaten

Allardyce all over today. Frustrated Liverpool, with his tactics and our fans if I’m honest. He’s built a career out of displays like we witnessed today. Maybe the RS players and fans should vent their anger at klopp and his team selection as much as lovren.

1 goal conceded in 4 games

At 2-0 up and a man down with 15 mins to go Martinez brought on a 2nd striker vs West Ham. We lost 2-3.

Just sent off a few texts to red friends who had cockily told me to expect a cricket score today. So satisfying . Unsworth's done a great job at u23 but we'd have gotten hammeded if he was still in charge.
It wasn't pretty. We offered almost nothing offensively. But Sam's organised a defensive rabble into something solid against all the odds. Great job so far however unglamourous.

Can’t believe some of the sh1te spouted on here!

What do you expect with a back 4 with 2 kids, a donkey & a Sunday league player, and no real striker??? And against an on form Liverpool...


Pickford hardly had a save to make. If Cuco the clown hadn’t fallen over, we could well have kept a clean sheet. I’d call that a masterclass.


Now give the man chance to put right Koeman’s foley in January before passing sentence.

Stop talking sense mate.

I can’t remember a more backs-to-the-wall 90 minutes than that.

But it worked. For all their attacking play, they barely had a chance. The goal only came because our left back Cucoed it right up. Other than that, we looked überorganised I thought.

In the context of this season, that was an excellent result.

Martinez would have brought Lookman on, gone for the win and we lose.

Moyes used to that regularly....and as often as not we conceded a late goal

 

[Brennan]

The big question for me is how he spends a decent budget and manages a team with expectations of getting into Europe. He’s clearly tactically astute, but it’s the unknown for him in that regard.

A point against a team who just put 7 past their previous opposition is a good result. We looked assured in defence.

Imagine if we had a decent striker and a midfielder who could make things happen...
