I think that we should get carried away as I am guessing that every club is now wary of playing us rather than wishing that they could play us four times a season

Took him a while to figure things out though. First game in charge Ward was still a left back, Kelly a right back, Cabaye subbed after 60 minutes, Townsend after 70. Second match, same fullbacks, Townsend subbed after 50 minutes. Third match Ward still at left back, now Tomkins at right back. Fourth match, switched to 3-5-2, Schlupp did ok, but Ward couldn't go up and down the flank. Townsend wasn't even used. Those were 4 losses in a row. 5th match, first match of van Aanholt as left back, finally a win against Bournemouth. Still with the 3-5-2. Townsend barely sent in for 15 minutes, but still provides the assist for Benteke's 2-0 goal. 6th match a 4-0 loss to Sunderland with the same 3-5-2 and McArthur playing left midfielder even though Puncheon was in the first 11 in McArthur's position!
And since then you can see that Sam Allardyce has learned his lesson and has done everything right and it went uphill. Edited by mattteo (17 Apr 2017 11.22am)

I'm a Sam fan, but disappointed he didn't prepare our lads for the Fuchs long throw to Huth tactic? I thought he would have watched videos of every team we play and would have alerted our boys to dangers like this? That apart, he is doing a grand job as I knew he would eventually and some of the initial reaction to his appointment on here was disgraceful. As someone else has already said, the amount of work he had to do to undo the damage Pardew had done was greater than he imagined when he was offered the job. We are a much better club in all respects and are now a force to be reckoned with once again. The tune he is getting out of Townsend right now is unbelievable compared to how he played under Pardew. Big Sam =

Big Sam = Out of interest Hoof, how do you know he didn't prepare or warn them ?

Hoof, maybe Sam did drill the long throw. Luka made an error going to meet the ball early and instead should've stayed in front of side onto Huth. After that Benteke was zonal marking the first space to clear the ball. Actually Sakho perhaps should've been on Huth. Or was he marking another big opponent? What was irritating was at 0-1 we got frustrated and lofted too many balls to Benteke against the tallest and most physical defensive pairing. Need to be more patient. We were always going to get chances as they tire after atletico 3 days before and our goal scoring form of late.
