Sam Allardyce

[kø1]

Ligger vi ikke på niendeplass eller noe sånt? Er det så ille da? Det er langt ifra katastrofe. Under både Roeder og Souness seg vi ned i bunnen av tabellen. Under Sam Allardyce har vi alltid ligget forsvarlig plassert på tabellen.

Det eneste problemet med Sam Allardyce er mentaliteten. Hva er f.eks galt med en offensiv 4-4-2-taktikk? Hva er galt i å tenke at angrep er beste forsvar?

Vi ligger ikke på 9 plass, men 11....kanksje ikke så ille, det som er urovekkende er vårt enkle kampprogram hittill.....

EDIT: Misforsto siste delen i innlegget ditt Olav.

Haha, les nøye igjennom innlegget mitt igjen, kø1.

Når du ser på slik statistikk må du huske på at Roeder tok over Newcastle mens sesongen var i gang. Da er det mye letter å gjøre det bra og det gjorde også Roeder. Uten dette hadde han neppe vært foran Allardyce.

HVIS OG MEN, ATTER, VASS.........Så kan du si at hvis laget til Roeder ikke hadde hatt så mange skader, så hadde vi vunnet enda mer......
Faktisk synes jeg Roeder var en mye bedre manager på kampdagen! Mens Allardyce har sine styrker på feltet og på team management....

At laget til Roeder hadde så mage skader var noe han av hans feil. Allardyce har nå tatt problemet på alvor og per dags dato har vi nesten ingen skader. Sikkert noe tilfeldig også, men likevel skal Big Sam ha skryt for det han har gjort.

Når en manager kommer inn en sesong for et lag som gjør det dårlig er det veldig stor sjanse for laget gjør det bedre med en gang. Se f.eks. på Wigan nå. De har 7 poeng av 9 mulige etter at Bruce har kommet inn. I Norge kan man ta rbk som hadde en fanatsisk høst da Tørum tok over, men neste sesong gikk det verre.  Når en ny manager kommer inn midt i sesongen kommer det inn noe nytt som svært ofte gjør t spillerne reagerer posetivt så at Roeder kom inn midt i sesongen har stor betydning for at han ligger høyt på den listen.

Under Roeder så gjorde jo Newcastle det bedre og bedre etter kor mange skader dei hadde. var jo når toppspillerne kom tilbake fra skade det gjekk dårlig.

[Doffi]

Har du sett terminlisten fremover eller? taper hvertfall 5 borte kamper på rad.

[Amu - Luque]

Min tålmodighet er over.. syntes at ikke passer til denne jobben i det hele tatt.. I bolton hadde han ikke noe press på seg, men her i Newcastle som han har krav på å klare en 6. plass, sliter han en del. Skaff en manager som har vært i noen store klubber.

Big Sam forteller at han nå må få spillerne til å fokusere mer på kampene mot dårligere lag enn mot det 4 store lagene, slik vi har gjort alt for ofte de siste sesongene.
Han ser som mange andre at spillerne våre har lettere for å prestere mot god motstand enn mot kamper vi bør vinne, og sier blant annet at dersom vi hadde prestert mot omtrentlig alle andre lag som vi gjorde mot Arsenal hadde vi tatt masser mer av poeng, og i den kampen endte vi opp med 1 poeng bare.

[Torjus]

En manager som forstår hva som skjer.
Kunne aldri skjedd med Roeder. Det ville vel mer vært: Når vi får ALLE skadefrie, da er vi tilbake på topp.

[Lars Arild Stordal]

Det finnes en ting som skal gjøres....
Det er å fokusere 100% på hver eneste kamp, selv om det er topp 4 eller Stoke eller hvem pokker vi skal spille imot
Herregud, det er da managerens oppgave å gjøre noe med dette?? Å hvorfor kommer den kommentaren nå??
Urovekkende spør du meg

Allardyce: Why I fight on at Newcastle

Sam Allardyce, battling to stave off demands for his head from embittered Newcastle supporters, watched his troubled side slump to another defeat yesterday, beaten 2-1 at Stamford Bridge by a Chelsea team anxious for points to recover their place in the Premier League title race.


But anyone expecting the big man to cave in under the pressure of attempting to turn around the decades of failure at St James' Park will be disappointed.

Allardyce is in typical jaw-jutting mood ? and he believes he has the support of multi-millionaire owner Mike Ashley to ride out the current crisis.

Ashley knows all too well the strength of feeling among the Newcastle faithful.He regularly takes his seat among the club's hardcore supporters, who have not been shy in voicing their disquiet over the Allardyce regime.

The stirrings of unrest gathered momentum over the Christmas break, the defeat at relegation- threatened Wigan being preceded by a home draw with bottom-placed Derby County.

Now, with the defeat at Chelsea ? a setback Allardyce blamed on the officials for not disallowing Salomon Kalou's late winner for offside ? Newcastle's return from their three Christmas week fixtures has been a solitary and distinctly unfestive point.

But as he prepared his side for yesterday's clash, Allardyce insisted: "I came to Newcastle because I was convinced I could make the club more successful than it has been in recent years. I still am."

That may be true but there is no denying the pall of gloom that has descended over Tyneside and Allardyce's beleaguered team.

Booed off the pitch by their own supporters after the defeat by Wigan, Newcastle's players have now had to contend with controversy off the field as well.

Allardyce's first signing after his appointment seven months ago was midfielder Joey Barton.

Many in football said he was buying trouble in taking Barton from Manchester City, but Allardyce insisted that he had spent £5.8million on acquiring a player of undoubted skill and high potential.

That belief came home to roost last week.

Yesterday, rather than having any part in Newcastle's visit to London, Barton sat in a cell after being remanded in custody charged with common assault and affray.

Allardyce angrily denies reports that a heated argument he had with Barton may have contributed to the player's mood after the defeat by Wigan, a game which Barton missed after being dropped.

"We had a few words because he was disappointed about being left out when I didn't think he was fit enough to play, but it has been blown up out of all proportion," said Allardyce.

The Newcastle boss says he is convinced that he knows the identity of the dressing-room mole he claimed gave the story about a row to the Press.

"I have no proof but a very good idea who it was," said Allardyce, adding darkly: "I just want him to know that I know."

Allardyce does admit that Barton's arrest has contributed to an atmosphere of negativity that is engulfing St James' Park.

"It does nobody any good," he said. "In this situation we have to be positive. There is no pessimism behind the scenes. The results may not have gone our way but our performances have been better than people give us credit for.

"It was never going to be an overnight job here. It is important that supporters get a clear picture of what the club is capable of in the short term and have the patience to accept that the famine that Newcastle have gone through for years in terms of results will not end in a season.

"There are no instant cures. Success has to be built over a period. I believe I am putting a structure in place which will serve the club well in the years to come.

"We are competing with clubs who are spending more than ever before. We had to do some short-term buying in the summer. Some have worked, others haven't, but there were players at the club who came here for big money but had no residual value when it came to moving them on.

"Their departures did not generate money to spend in the transfer market but our net spending deficit is still only £9m, which is low when you compare it with other clubs.

"Clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have benefited from signing young players and developing them through their system and we've started to do the same.

"We want to exploit that kind of market to be able to produce firstteam players of the future. But it has to coincide with an improvement in your current senior players.

"We have some very good players at Newcastle but, for different reasons, principally the absence of the more experienced ones for long periods, we have been unable to make the impact we are capable of."

Allardyce's team have suffered from the absence through injury of the likes of Mark Viduka and Michael Owen, whose appearance from the bench yesterday after almost two months out with a thigh injury was at least some comfort for Newcastle fans starved of the entertaining football they crave.

Allardyce has targeted the players he wants to buy in January's transfer window, but he says he will not be panicked into deals that merely paper over the dressing-room cracks.

"We are looking at players who I believe can improve the side, but for every likely target there are half a dozen clubs prepared to spend big money who are chasing them as well," he added.

"From the top to the bottom of the Premier League, clubs are prepared to spend to try to make their team better. My aim is to get it right long term.

"The planning and structure for that is in place but it will take time and patience and the backing of the supporters to get us there."

Whether Allardyce is given the time he says he needs remains to be seen. The next five weeks hold difficult fixtures against the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa.

Sandwiched in between will be the visit to St James' Park on January 19 of the club where Allardyce made his name.

How ironic if Bolton Wanderers were to be ultimately responsible for Big Sam's departure.


Da kan det se ut som om Allardyce har en "vindusrotte" i troppen som overdriver og lekker til media! Lurer på hvem det er han mistenker? Er nok av navn å ta av................

[Lars Arild Stordal]

Sikkert Owen

[Sebastian]

Ville heller tippet Zog... Ser ut som en liten jævelunge stappet i faenskap 

[Joakim]

Ettersom Zog tilsynelatende er så glad i å sende tekstmeldinger kan det være han. Men igjen, Zog selv sa vel ikke til pressen at han sendte tekstmeldinger i garderoben under Roeders team talk. Kanskje det er Bartons midtbanekonkurrent?

[HÃ¥vard]

Er nok Emre som er sur fordi han ikke får spille tenker jeg 

Nei, av en eller annen grunn tenkte jeg med en gang på noen i støtteapparatet. Vet ikke hvorfor.

[Joakim]

Noen i støtteapparatet? Jeg er ganske sikker på at vedkommende da ville vært på fortauet allerede. De fleste i støtteapparatet i dag er Big Sams menn. Kun Pearson, McDermott pluss Derek Wright er vel de i støtteapparatet som muligens befinner seg i garderoben før, under og etter kamp, som er igjen fra Roeders tid. Jeg har vanskeligheter for å se for meg at noen av de eller noen av Sams menn er tystere. Det er nok en spiller, vil jeg tro.
