The "In Defence of Allardyce Thread "

Everton are utter gash, this really isn’t hard to understand.

I’m not saying I’m happy with him being here.
We’ve got a decent group of players, but as a ‘team’ we look dreadful and have done all season. Three different managers and bar the odd game here and there it’s been exactly the same lacklustre, limp crap.

That team is not Allardyce's fault. He chose the best players available and they were not good enough. It's not his fault! How many times did Holgate, Rooney and Schneiderlin give the ball away; how many times did Holgate pass to someone about to be tackled while coming out of his own penalty area! How can that possibly be the fault of the manager, especially one whose been there a matter of weeks. He's being scapegoated big time imo!
In interview Allardyce said:-
"It's all through our own fault and our own stupid play in that particular area," Allardyce added. "You don't play the ball to people who are marked and are facing our own goal, that's something you learn in the early stages of your career.

It really isn’t. Give it a rest mate.

Matty lad. I have said in a previous thread you are a good kid.If you can't take a bit of ribbing,then that's your fault.My Dad and your Dad have seen far much more crap played by Everton over the years.So you wind your neck in and I'll do the same with mine.

I had to sign up just to voice my absolute astonishment at how many people actually expressed even the remotest desire to have AVB as manager. I'm more of a lurker, and take an interest in Everton (as my brother supported them since we were young, early 90's) despite being a lifelong Spurs fan.


I can tell you, without wavering doubt and with utmost seriousness seriousness, that no one with any real knowledge of him would want him near their club. If you think Big Sam has awful football, then I can assure you that life wouldn't be worth witnessing under AVB. Some of us are still only just getting over the expectation of being beat 5 or 6 nil by every top 6 team. He's shown his value with both Spurs and Chelsea, teams that were a lot stronger under him (on paper) than Everton have been during the whole PL era (and stability? the bloke is only 40, and has managed 6 teams in 9 years).

The current Everton season has parallels with our 2nd season with AVB - he went out and spent a fortune on Football-Manager-shortlist players, without thinking about the team as a whole. Everyone thought we would do well, but got pummeled until he was given the push. It took Pochettino a while to sort out the team, to such a point where the media and the fans were calling for his head in the first few months (we were 12th in the table after 12 games, with 14 points in Pochettino's first season).

It strikes me as odd that some fans on here accept that up until Cenk and Walcott came in, the team was looking quite patch and poor - yet you're surprised that you have had to resort to basic football in order to stay out of trouble. You won't get football like Man City have, because the majority of your team are (in footballing terms) unfamiliar with each other, having played few games together, and no doubt in a bit of a twizz having played under 3 managers in the past 3 months.


The rags have done a stellar job of making Allardyce hated more than Abu Hamza. It's really weird.

Not his team though is it!

Oh ok, so he takes no responsibility then

Boss, guess he has a safety net

His game plan was to lump balls up to a 6ft striker who was up against a 6ft4 and 6ft2 central defence.

I nearly miss Mike Walkers brand of football.
I also nearly miss Walter Smiths style of football.
FSA is in good company with those 2


Note I said nearly.
