Also like he said they also lost 3-1 on XG. Bizzare bias towards a playing style he prefers. As a great man once said 'all I have to back it up is the facts!'

Yesterday was a completely different performance. Bizarre ending aside, almost every Evertonian is happier with the direction Everton is going in. A flukey point at Anfield after being completely outclassed is hardly evidence of anything other than just another footballing fluke. Certainly not any sort of justification the type of anti football dross that Allardyce was a purveyor of.

Beersmith wrote: » I would agree with a lot of that. Ken often uses these statistics to show certainty of his arguments though. Just thought it was a bit bizarre how sneering it was to big sam when end of the day it got a better result. He was after all closely comparing the exact same fixture not just the general niceness of their play.

Loafing Oaf wrote: » Big Sam took them up from the fringes of relegation to eighth. Surely it's reasonable to think they would have finished seventh at the very worst if he had them for the whole season? Everton currently sixth on goal difference, with Man United seemingly doing their best to sabotage their own season.

Loafing Oaf wrote: Sixth right now on goal difference, narrowly heading a bunch of teams in upper mid table. No guarantee they won't finish the season eight or ninth. IMO not definitive evidence that Silva will get you better results than Big Sam over the long run.
