acrossthepond 706 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Reposting cause I fucked up the formatting: Â Southend manager Phil Brown at Britannia Stadium for 5 live Sport: 'Big Sam is a genius'Southampton v West Ham (19:45 GMT)"Sam Allardye gets almighty stick from all comers. The throwaway comment that got up Big Sam's nose was what Graeme Sounesssaid, probably 15 years ago, that Liverpool in a game found it hard to play against "this long-ball rubbish". These days Sam is enjoying himself."And remember, Sam was the first manager in England to embrace ProZone - he is well into his stats. He may have dyslexia but he's not thick. I think he's a statistical genius. I think he's as good as Arsene Wenger, if not better." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Spending a boat load of money was probably the first step in the right direction.

I liked Scholes getting stuck into that ridiculous dossier as well, ex Man U or not. Shades of Benitez's "facts" rant there. Van Gaal already losing his bottle?

ADP 0 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Lukaku has some brass coming out saying he wants to move to a bigger club less than a year after signing for Everton, and in the current form he is in. I kind of enjoy Everton being brought down a peg in recent weeks though. First Mirallas saying he wants to move if they don't get champions league, now this. Kind of been found out this season on the pitch an arl. Edited February 13, 2015 by ADP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Doesn't seem as good as the initial hype. Close control is poor and he should be scoring more. I haven't checked if Everton create many chances but they seem a fairly attakcing side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Their forum (Everton are my second team) seem to feel that he is both guilty of being out of form, and also suffering from starvation of service.

ADP 0 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I haven't got any stats to back it up, but from what I've seen on general observation when watching them last season to this season is that Martinez's system of play has been found out by a lot of other teams this year. Up until recently where they have resorted to a much more direct style of play, Everton did not have any plan B. I watched them play against West Brom when Pulis had just taken over and while WBA were really impressive defensively, Everton seemed to be out of ideas after 30 minutes. I think Martinez is a decent coach, but he could do with being a bit more open minded tactically when the time calls for it. Possession football and a tight passing game is all well and good, and looks great when it succeeds. But the diversity of systems in the PL means that unless you have a team of incredible players in every position, that style will only get you so far. Â Lukaku was great last season, but I remember Mourinho coming out with something when they sold him about his attitude. A lot of the press thought that he was being a bit harsh, and portrayed Lukaku as the unfortunate, talented young fall guy who wasn't given a chance at Chelsea. Perhaps his comments today vindicate Mourinho's assessment. Plus the fact that he he has largely been dogger this season. It's not like he hasn't had the chances either.

Not offering enough, and not making the selfless runs that open up space for other players in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
