Thing is, even if you believe his stated intention to play passing football and bring in players to fit an attacking, slick philosophy, he clearly doesn't trust anyone beyond his absolute first choice XI to be able to do anything of the sort. But instead of drilling the philosophy into them and trying to breed a style of play throughout the whole club, he just sends the other players out to hoof the ball as far away from the goal at all times. Irrespective of the quality of players at his disposal, there should be a noticeable theme running through the play, and there's nothing of this at all. If his best players aren't available, it's long ball shit all match.

 

This.

 

"Smaller" teams with squads considerably worse than ours manage to play football.  The football we've played recently is as bad, or worse, than any of the crap served up by Allardyce and Souness.  Fuck knows what they do in training but the players look like they've never met.

 

The one thing that I'm hanging on to now is that it was a inept display against a Championship side away in the FA Cup that saw Allardyce get the bullet.
