Allerdyce blaming players again instead of himself he's got to go. I was happy to give him a shot but he's a disgrace blaming everyone but himself. I'm getting to the point were I don't even get that upset when we lose anymore. A lot of die hard blues I know are feeling the same. It's something I've never experienced as a blue, I was born 83 so seen my fair share of sht but never been as disillusioned and felt so distant from the club.

With the money that the players are earning they should at least be able to follow instructions and team orders. At the very least they should be able to either keep hold of the ball or pass to the right players, If they do not do this then they should shoulder the blame as this is not a new thing it has been happening in away games for 13 months now. ( Just my opinion )

I can’t remember the last time we went away from and tried to win, and by that I mean go and attack the opposition.
When we get done at home it’s because the away team puts us under pressure. When we go away from home all we do is invite it. Unlike Sol Campbell I’ve no brilliant football mind for sure, but surely if we went at the home team from the off we would start to pick up some points away from home. Why are we showing Watford and the like so much respect? The teams above us don’t show us much when they come to Goodison.

You are right Grumpy mate it's a sad fact of life I'm afraid most of our team are not good enough, you just have to see the posts on Saturday while the game is on, almost all posters are slating off most of the team.

Our major problem on saturday was, if one of our centre mids aren't on it, like Rooney wasnt. who do we hook him for?
We only had Schneiderlin in that position. You could argue that TD could have been dropped back and then move siggy or walcott in, bringing Bolasie on (but that didn't happen)
If Watford had scored a few minutes later once sam had brought Schneiderlin on, there would have been a riot in the ground (so negative)
Im not sure whos idea it was for Williams to be taking free kicks? but the lad can barely kick a ball let alone find a player with one. So the ball was just dinked up and over (to who! ) there defense is like 8ft tall.
Subs give the team a boost, we've seen it time and time again but ours are just baffling.

The problem is we do the same thing every away game. That is to defend first then try and fluke a goal. The last time we took it to the opposition was against Limassol in the cup which we won comfortably 3-0.
You can play counter attack away if you've got bags of pace in your front 3 but we've only really got Theo. He doesn't play Sig in the middle and instead plays him left to cover Cuco. Niasse can't control the ball and hold it up so we just end up hoofing it. It's constant pressure.
The players are quality right the way through. We just don't play to their strengths. But then we didn't buy players who fit us or our system which has changed again under Sam.
That's why a long term solution with players being moved on and brought in chosen by the manager. The DOF can just go out and get them this time instead of buying who he thinks fit. Because they clearly dont!

I'm not saying it's not the players faults as well but he keeps blaming them publicly. He blamed Keane for not scoring 'a clear cut' chance. It was hardly a clear cut chance. He's too arrogant and too many fans already don't like him so he's got to go.
