Agree with Josh. It was great to watch and, though I’m no fan of him, Allardyce deserves some credit. But, it needed a few things to go right for us:
1. Gallagher not available meant that Periera was finally played it the middle.
2. The sending off before the injury to Ivanovic meant that we finally saw Robinson. Had it been the other way round, I have no doubt that Peltier would have come on with 2 subs used up.
It was a joy to see MP in the middle with runners off him able to find space for his passes. Why did it take Allardyce 16 games to do this, and what are the odds that next week sees MP wide right with Robinson on the bench?

They say that ignorance is bliss - no wonder so many people are happy.
