For me this sums us up at the moment we are neither one thing or the other. Do we think Sam is the man to get us back to what we do best and does he have enough time to successfully organise us to keep us up?

Leicester last year were basically us from 13/14 on steroids; less possession but ruthless attackers. Whilst I'm not sure this is the route we must go back to completely, I think we should embrace aspects of that play style. I think Allardyce's pursuit of more attacking full-backs is a positive move.

Can't wait! Pulis style footie. Superb. What fun it will be seeing us playing anti-football again. 20% possesion each match and a goal every 5th or 6th game. Almost getting a boner.

 


Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

I'd take anti football if its better than the s*** I have been served over the last 12 months.

There is an in-between, something more like the football we were playing for the first half of last season. Sam needs to get us back to that, but perhaps with more threat coming from the full-backs (Jenkinson, Sclupp/Van Arnholt/Evra) or playing 2 up front.

I'll take that for a couple of seasons if it means prem football.

The 'entertainment' aspect of our season is OVER. We need to stay up to fight another day. I don't care how ugly it looks.

We played good football under Pulis. Dougie Freedman's football was as bad as we've had in recent years. Turgid.

Hello mate, long time no see. Hope you're well?

I've managed to blank the Taylor era out, I look upon it as an urban myth.

Taylor era was like watching paint dry! But then the freedman era seemed to be don't concede and wait for Ambrose to score a worldie then came the season of relying on wilf and yala conjure up those moments!

I think going back to the point we need to be able to see one clear way that we are trying to play and at the moment we are caught at a real cross roads!
I think with the players we have now we can afford to play a more expansive brand than under pulls etc and see more of the ball, however the way pardew completely neglected us defensively is the what will take time to heal.
Lastly I want to see our wide players play like old fashioned wingers and play on the correct sides beat players get to the by line and pull the cross back to benteke moving onto the ball, rather than hit that early diagnol where benteke lucky to get his head on it never mind score.

Like I say the players are there, the spirit, morale and attitude aren't. I think the rot had set in under pardew I just hope that we don't run out of games in big sams quest to shore us up defensively and turn our season around!

Here here! We were a good counter attacking side and we did a lot of sides that way. Let's get back to that as it can't be any worse than the shyte we're seeing. A very honest appraisal from big Sam.
