Sam Allardyce

[ForeverEverton]

To sack SA and appoint Silva will cost c£6m, thats £9m less than we offered Watford! Even temporary till the end of the season as a `trial` so to speak.

The yellow banner of “sam allardyce leaves Everton” cannot come soon enough

We've still got 10 games to go, no way he quits because he loves the money too much so we're stuck with him. Desperate times, an embarrassment of a club.

 

[Pabbers]

Sack him now

Sack him now

We all live in hope, I would be ecstatic if that happened !!!

 

[MarcoM]

Same as fat sam in same length of time and playing the same dour football.
You can put your ears away now mate

Exactly...and I'll put my ears away when I want to, not when you want me to, is that ok with you Bernie?

 

[GwladysBlue]

lol

 

[MarcoM]

My dead nan of 35 years would be an improvement over this dinosaur, hoofball merchant

I know...I've just had a boss idea, let's appoint Wazza as manager. Is that ok with you Chris?

Get 4 more points, pay him off and then appoint someone, God knows who, they are probably all as crap as Silva, and he got sacked by that great club Watford. Maybe Unsworth as caretaker for the last few games, but only when we hit the 38 mark.

At the time of FS and LS appointment there was a feeling of dread and disappointment and then unstoppable laughter. I might be Bipolar! Anyway, after the fear of relegation has been removed, a street party should be organised around Goodson Park and FS and LS and Shakespear (remember him) should run the gauntlet never to be seen again. Put up the bunting.

Less points at this stage than Martinez managed by Matchday 27 in his final season.

TBH you'd have to be an idiot to still be defending him.

Don't worry mate, the way Allardyce keeps going on about 'relegation' and reaching 'safety' and him bigging himself up as the saviour of our club, he will make sure there is a big parade in his honour!

Surely he means it was a Very similar team to the one which only beat Crystal Palace because they missed all but one of their chances and the game should’ve been sealed after 3 minutes?

The bloke genuinely believes that because you beat one team you should be able to beat a totally different one by playing exactly the same way.

Or by watching a Swansea video.

Crystal Palace was the start of a sequence of 5 games which should have seen us safe and most likely up to seventh place, after yesterday I can't see us getting any more than 4 points from the next three games. I predict that will see us safe and will see Fat Sam and his cronies binned. Walsh will go at the end of the season.
I yearn for the days when we were considered the plucky also rans as opposed to being the dullest, dourest, draw monkeys in the premier league.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

He put out a reasonable line up yesterday and it wasn't a particularly bad performance given the circumstances (our dire away form) in the first half. But if ever a game was there for the taking, it was yesterday around the 65 minute mark with them having made all 3 subs and taking off some attacking threat. Watford are a poor poor side and this was a perfect opportunity for us to go for 3 points. We didn't have much to lose and a draw wasn't that valuable to us with the table the way it is.

Allardyce tried to play it safe and was wrong. His tactics in these away games has been awful, but for me, it's not actually much different to our previous managers. The players also need to take some responsibility.

His 2 worst away defeats in terms of expectation have come against Bournemouth and Watford. We lost both last season too under a different manager, so that proves that the players are to blame as well, along with the negative, cautious tactics of numerous managers we have had in recent years.

the first two para’s above ring very true. By the 65th minute Watford had taken off Richarlisson Pereyra and Delefeu, things weren’t going well for their attack and you got the feeling they were settling in for a 0-0 too. That would have been the time to make a sub and bring on Calvert Lewin to add some more pace to the attack. A tactical switch would see Rooney come off, Davies drop a little deeper and Siggy move into the middle with DCL pushing up on the left side or switch with Walcott.
If that didn’t bring a goal then perhaps bring Cenk on for Niasse for fresh legs in the last 15.
I am not a football manager but there is no point in trying to defend a point against Watford for 90 minutes when your defenses experience and attention span is only 75 minutes. And he must see that defence is where we have al our injury concerns and second stringers in.
Scoring a first goal in this game was the right way to ensure at least a point.
A leader makes the optimal use of the resources at their disposal. The BFS did not do that at all yesterday.

I worry about us big time next season if he's allowed to continue. He's the ultimate small time manager with outdated football and constantly passing the buck.
