Thank fuck for that, this one needs to be called.

Honestly that's how bad it's become really that we now have to hope sides below us lose but hey ho that's Everton Football Club isn't it?

Sack Allardyce by all means but I'm not expecting miracles with the losers that set foot on the pitch every week in Blue shirts stealing a living.

Allardyce was let down by his players to a degree, as well as his faith in that central defensive pairing, but he also doesn't seem to have a Plan B after Plan A has been exhausted. Taking Sigurdsson off seems to be a reflexive move every game rather than one based on any logic, as well.

We have been here before. To often in my lifetime supporting this club. There is good news. Yes we have a manager who like it or not has been here many times and I would rather have him in the run in.

Changing managers now will confuse the players. Getting new ideas across now would take at least four to five games. We don't have that time. Leave it now.

Sam is working with the squad Koeman put together and yes his tactics and play are eye-watering. We are where we are and the players need to take more responsibility and hiding won't do.

Our home form will get us through and yes this has been good under Sam. Our away record has been shite for years. Let's be honest. Let's keep the inquiry for May. For now, the players need our support.

Rumours suggest there may be a vacancy or three in the boardroom shortly. I just wonder whether Mr Moshiri might contemplate breaking the mold of other boardrooms by introducing someone who could provide some sound advice as a fan who albeit not especially wealthy (I'm guessing here) may just put some desired equilibrium into the listing ship we have become.

Couldn't be as demanding as running ToffeeWeb, could it, Lyndon?

Tarkowski, an old fashioned centre-half, was allowed to waltz around Calvert-Lewin to start the move. A very poor and amateurish effort by the young player. Defending starts from the front and a good tackle or block at that point would have spared us the concession of that chance.

I can only assume that the zonal marking for the corner for the second goal, with 6 or 7 players strung out along the 6-yard line, while leaving the tallest player on the Burnley side unmarked inside the 6-yard box, is one of Allardyce's principles. It's not something I've seen before from a professional team. It's a fundamental of the game to ensure that your best defensive headers of the ball pick up the most dangerous opposition players for set-pieces. Get that done first and then do the zonal marking with the rest.

In this case Keane should have been back with Chris Wood. If an opposition player stands in front of the goalkeeper, does he need to be marked that closely? All Seamus did was clog up the space and further restrict Pickford's movement.

Another point from the game was the crying need for a defensive midfield player. I am a big fan of Gana, but he doesn't have the discipline for the position and chases the ball, closing down, intercepting, but leaving us vulnerable in front of the back 4. I don't know what the instruction from the manager is, so hard to be over critical, but the centre-backs didn't have much protection when faced 2 on 2 in the 2nd half and they badly needed protecting.

Far too often, those phoneys have got away with murder while supporters have cried bitter tears.

On another note regarding their last goal. I still think Champions League has lots of potential. He is particularly good in the air. Many teams use their centre-forwards as defenders on corners. Seeing we have absolutely nobody who seems capable of defending properly on corners I feel he should be trained to mark the big man in the opposing team for corners when he is on the field.

We recently lost to Liverpool and now Burnley due to atrocious defending on corners. This is a serious problem which should be addressed right away. It really should not be a major factor as it is a basic fundamental of the game. At the present time we are useless on corners, as we are on on many other aspects of defending. However, defending on corners should be lesson number one.

Since he's come on board, things have gone from bad to worse The Koeman appointment and then subsequent sacking and the farce that followed it. His inane ramblings to Jim White and the embarrassing AGM. "Our own fab 4" etc.

And now, to cap it all, his supposed top target is a manager who his own fans at Arsenal can't wait to see the back of. If we thought the defence was bad now, imagine it with Wenger in charge.

Seems to me this fella hasn't got an inkling about football and is in it just for the publicity Sad state of affairs.

I will certainly not be watching any game next season if Allardyce is in charge. Worst manager since I began supporting the club 59 years ago!

If Moshiri hands him an extended contract, or even allows him to stay on next season, it will show just how little he knows about football and how little he cares about the fans of our once great club.
