I wasn't a Sam fan but I am now. He has transformed us and i'm happy to say I was wrong not wanting him at se25. Might get a contract extension if likely he keeps us up.

He's certainly got all the really important stuff right, but he got his tactics wrong in the second half at Southampton, which I'm sure he'd acknowledge. He completely Pardewed that one.
We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

Out of interest Hoof, how do you know he didn't prepare or warn them ? No inside info, but it was their first throw in after 6 minutes? I would like to think our players should not be "switched off" after 6 minutes or forget something as fundamental as that? If Big Sam did warn them, then it's a poor show by our lads.

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. We definitely dealt with subsequent throws by crowding out Huth and all jumping up, but no one seemed to be marking anyone for that first throw - like they couldn't believe it got that far and no-one was prepared for it. as I said above, if Big Sam had warned them about it, they should have coped better as it happened very early on.

he did prepare us for fuchs long throw but the players lost concentration and forgot what they were told to do ,he talked about it in his post game presser Poor show from our lads then not to have listened and dealt with it better than they did. They definitely dealt with all the subsequent throws by Fuchs a lot better.

I read an article where Sir Sam said that he did drill the players about the throw-ins and he said that Mili 'forgot'. Sir Sam cannot be blamed for any games lost by Palace this year as he has not put a foot wrong as this thread indicates. Sam's performance has been nothing short of magnificent - I still am spun out by how great he has been. We were easy-beats. Even Sunderland thrashed us 0-4 at home and look where they are on the table. Now, we are PL giants that NO-ONE wants to play. He's made everyone in the team fitter, meaner, better and how he healed our self-destructive suicidal mania in such a short time I will never ever know. An amazing man and an amazing manager. Well spoken - very intelligent and thoughtful public comments - gives in-depth analyses even on TV - humble - down-to-earth - knows what to say in the difficult moments like when addressing supporter's vocal reaction to the SUnderland debacle, and won the fans support. LONG LIVE SIR SAM! Our best manager ever.

They had the same assignments for subsequent long throws as they did for the first one. This shows that Sam's statement is correct - they'd drilled for it, they just screwed up the first one. You're smelling something that isn't there.

IF we stay up lets hope those will be upgraded ,saying that joel ward has really improved over the last few games Hmmm not so sure. Not ever going to be good enough dribbling forward Sam will want someone like van Aanholt on the right side. I think ward will become squad player next year if we stay up.
