Sam Allardyce Is NOT A Fan Of Tiki Taka Football

- Sam Allardyce joined Simon Jordan to talk all things football. In the recent episode of @UpFrontWithSimonJordan , Allardyce, again expressed his frustration with the Tiki Taka (Tippy Tappy) style of football.
He vented his frustration that the style of play has infiltrated the English Premier League and has spread to the lower leagues as well.

Imagine being an elite PL footballer and your new manager says “Right lads, none of this tippy tappy bs. We’re a long ball team now” 😂
Prime Messi under Allardyce
Well yes, if you’re a team that’s at the bottom of the league and your playing city then it’s understandable

Someone need to tell him it's not the 90s or early 2000s anymore. Football has evolved. Players are more technical nowadays. Shiiidd, even goalkeeper have to have ball knowledge and can play...
@@Empirebusinessyeah but Newcastle aren’t bottom of the league and they still play that way 😂
“4-4 fucking 2”
If its good enough for Sir Alf Ramsey its good enough for me
😂😂😂😂
I still prefer the Christmas pudding formation
4-4 fucking 2 baby
LOLOOOOOL
Spoken like a true english manager from the 1740’s.

You look at what he achieved in his managerial career, you can say whatever you like, Allardyce knows football. And he's right, football has always had different styles of play, the Brazilian style of play, the English style of play, the German style of play. They're all instantly identifiable and all equally respected. Currently everyone is trying to emulate the possession mantra that guardiola popularised, but it isn't anymore correct than the style Chelsea used in 2005, they are just different.

Why play ten passes that have ten chances of being intercepted when you can play into the final 3rd in two passes
@@melmeister-4747because a good CB pairing will win 80% of balls lobbed up to a striker and good passing movements will get through and get a shot on target maybe 50% of the time
@@melmeister-4747because long balls are a 50/50 usually done by people who aren’t technically good enough anyway. If they were, they would play more possession based football on the ground. A good center back and just header it away or push on the striker to foil any potential chance
@@melmeister-4747You know the concept easy come , easy go... easier the pass,easier to lose the ball
The most English way of saying tiki taka

He said, “tippy tappy”
I.e not physical enough
He wasn't trying to pronounce "tiki taka".
The most successful manager in history is british mate😂cry harder

The right type of football is the one that makes you win.
Exactly. It's not about the style it's about the result
True but so many people I know cannot watch a Manchester City game because it’s such a dull experience.. it will be the death of football if it carries on
Hard disagree. The right type of football is one that's good to watch. Football is a form of entertainment, no-one wants to pay that much money to watch 100 minutes of boring football
@@liamcollett4537 okay then in that case why does everyone complain when their team consistently loses and call for the manager to be sacked? no fan or owner should complain about results then. They should always applaud their team for playing "exciting" football regardless of the result
@@Rocksteady365mac I can't stand the way Pep plays. I never liked it at Barca. I can't argue with his results though. Maybe that's what Allardyce meant.
Because it certainly works, I just don't enjoy watching it.
Managers like Sam is the reason the English national team has suffered for so long. Not just with players but with managers also. And there's a difference between a long ball and a long pass. Just remember that.
What's the difference?
Sam Did long Passes. Him at Bolton Played fantastic football, It was Long ball with Style
@-AxisA- and long pass is an accurate pass over a long distance. A long ball is someone knocking it up the pitch, into space, hoping that someone gets onto it. Sort of a hit and hope.
A classic one is, ball goes to the right back. The right back looks up, and hits it up the pitch to the striker, hoping he gets on to it.
@@dandan5501 Thx for explanation
How is it his problem lol?
My guy managed the England team for about 5 mins
100% win ratio though 🤷
That's cos he's a crook. A separate issue.
@@ryanmurphy4748he owes Lallana a pint still 😂 100%
What’s achievements got to do with the point?
Pep could manage England
They would still be shit
And that's why he's a manager who spends most of his time on ice, waiting to be unfrozen from his cryogenic sleep, to try and save a struggling club from relegation, instead of being hired by clubs to fight places in Europe and win trophies. Guy refused to adapt to the modern game and then blames the game for changing, instead of changing with it.
Well said
na he just screwed up the England job remember he ruined his reputation
Also likely he doesn’t understand what anecdotal evidence is, and that all his views are subjective.
Haaland is an old school number 9. Does he need defrosting?
@@JamesHussain82 Haaland scores goals and has adapted to the modern game. Really bad comparison.
Pretty sure all these Tippy Tappy teams battered Big Sam week in week out
Well that’s more due to the difference in player quality tho

Arsene Wenger enjoyed BATTER this dude🤣🤣🤣
Jurgen Klopp is the perfect example of a manager who has adapted to the pace of the modern game with a dynamic and fluid counter attacking style. Even Leicester under Ranieri played a fluid counter attacking style that was more than just route 1 football.
Allardyce's tactics are just outdated imo. Long ball football isn't necessarily bad on its own, but possession based-high pressing football seems to be the norm nowadays.
Much rather watch a klopp team then side ways pep
Core part of Klopp's winning team was to avoid midfield and have VVD play it long to the forwards.
@@MrGts92 vvd could pass like a cm that’s why…. Not just a hopefully ball in the box .. so direct , quick switch to one off the wingers then get whole team on half way line , coz again vvd was a beast back then.. then the rest can press high
@@lukescrimshaw7678 yeah great, but not the point I'm making.
@@MrGts92 my point I’m making is there’s a difference between a player spreading passes to a team just punting it forward and hoping to get soemthing off the second ball..

City and Barcelona under pep played boring football
@@nemanjap8768 And MSN was the highest scoring front 3 per game of all time. Winning isn't boring.

@@nemanjap8768You gotta have a brain injury or some. Because saying Pep's Barcelona is boring is like, going to the Sahara and saying is freezing.
Absolutely everyone Even their biggest rivals have said that, that was the Best football that has been played
We had Big Sam at Blackburn Rovers, he kept us in the Premier league but honestly I'd rather watch paint dry🤔
I'd take this opinion a lot more seriously if it wasnt Big Sam expounding the only style of football he's EVER been able to coach. It's like Ronald McDonald going on a diatribe about why vegetables are destroying the fabric of society.
If I could give you an extra thumbs up for using the word diatribe in a football thread I would do

It's some of the worst football I've seen in my life
Should never have been seen or spoken about again after how he utterly embarrassed England. Dreadful bloke
Should always be spoken about for exactly that. Makes him a god amongst men
But Thomas Frank can actually play possession based football as well. He's a great tactician, he knows whem to play the long balls and when to keep possession
Honestly just let him cry, this clearly a generation issues. He’s come up in a different era and he’s missing the football he enjoyed whilst growing up, I’m sure some of us will be doing the same thing in 2057
Yeah - pulled the one game City conceeded a goal during their 5 years of european dominance
He doesn’t have that excuse. He is in his 60s. When he was a kid he could watch clough’s forest, some great Liverpool sides and Ajax with cruyff. He is just basic
@@owendallison6913 they were rare teams, the principals were the same but some teams were different. He used to be a Pro player he’s going to rep the football he came up on: he probably feels like he can’t relate to the game anymore.Half the Prem try the to play a similar style of high pressing and numerical superiority. The skill and coaching level is so high nowadays he probably knows he wouldn’t last
😂😂😂😂
You telling me the football klopp fregie played was so much more entertaining then passing side ways.. if you think not go ask haaland if enjoys the shitty style coz sure don’t suit him.. be direct with a monster like him he’d score a lot more
Does he think it's a coincidence that every elite team plays possession football? Does he think they're just doing it to be fashionable?
They play possession football because they have the quality players to do it. What he is saying is that if your players are unable ability wise to play passing football, don't force them to do it.
Not every team is an elite team. Playing tippy tappy doesn't make you elite. Ergo, the difference between elite teams and non-elite teams is not tippy-tappy. The difference is the quality of the players.
And what is quality? It is being able to do it all. Hit an accurate, direct long ball when required, and being able to do a 8 yard 1 touch pass, when required.
@@dajo8723How Wenger played some of the most beautiful football and finished CL without nearly spending a dime for 10 years ?
Thing he was specifically talking about playing Manchester city. You do get teams that constantly play out from the back against them and get caught out.
About time someone said it sick of seeing winger get a blitz down the line. Then they stop pass back wait 4 defence to set then fuk around with the ball
His England manager role speaks volumes
1 game 1 win
No, managers are getting sacked because they’re not good enough 😂
“Winning football” is the right type of football
Yes, the English game is a thing of the past at the top level. But today's defensive, no risk game is all about passing back, passing sideways, retaining possession, tippy tap passing back and forth, which is clinical and practical if you want to keep the ball for long periods of the game, but can be frustrating to watch. Go to the lower leagues and you'll see less top level talent, but more exciting games based on attacking football with a lot less tippy tappy possession.
Sam cannot handle that the game has moved on without him and he’s no longer in demand as a manager. No matter what style of football he was playing if he was a winner clubs would want him - but they don’t, and he’s bitter about that. He’s like this endlessly in interviews these days.
Long balls aren't necessarily bad. Klopp uses it with Trent, VVD, and even Allison when the opportunity for a quick counter attack presents itself. Even the world cup winning Spanish side did it with Pique and Xabi Alonso.
The problem with Sam is it's he just parks the bus to defend and ask his men to hoof it up and clear the ball everytime even when there is no chance of counter-attack or when keeping possession would actually make more sense. The long ball to him is the be all and end all of his tactics.
Liverpool play long diagonal balls out to the wide forwards. And lots of crosses.
But Liverpool obviously play out from the back. Playing out from the back is basically the crux of this. If you can't do this you basically can't compete at the top anymore. As you just surrender possession over and over.
And playing out from the back, taking risks on the ball in dangerous areas, is antithetical to how people like Allardyce think and view the game.@@karlanthonymargate7362
Even if he's winning, fans don't want to watch it. Fans of big clubs anyway. That's why he failed at Newcastle and Everton. Fans won't put up with that style of football for long, even if it's successful.
As a Leeds fan, we only had him for 4 games and it was painful. It was like watching Wimbledon in the 90s.
This guy should become a manager 😂
Not every side is equipped to play from the back with a goalie thats good with the ball on his feet. Every club is trying to emulate that but only 2 or 3 clubs can do it well. Managers are not playing to the strengths of their personnel
Football evolves, that’s all there is to it.
Styles and tactics change to counteract others. New managers with new ideas generally spark the change.
Big Sam should know that
Big Sam is just refusing to adapt to change.
Big sam is playing to win
@@lynpendry funnily you said that, because I am still trying to remember a trophy that big Sam won.
Maybe he just has a preference of what he likes to see?
@@truthsayer7172man city would not be able to play that style without the best of the best. Are you saying pep could get any team at the bottom league playing tiki taka AND winning 😂 super CASUAL
@@miguelbahena94 Fans of most clubs understand that they just may not be able to win trophies. So playing good football is uauslly demanded by the fans. Also, if you have a bad team and playing Big Sam's type of football, there is no guarantee that a trophy would be won either. Also, even if you Big Sam coach Man City now, he still will not play good football. He might win games and even trophies, because of the type of players in Man City. However, his football style would still be unacceptable by the players and also the fans.
For those who clearly don’t understand, he’s saying to play to your teams strengths not to what the other teams are doing. Man city play a very artistic form of football but Cardiff city aren’t man city. So they shouldn’t play like them. Has nothing to do with his age or 442.
Precisely
Yeah but that’s not only what he said tho, is it? He said it’s boring and it’s worst type of football he seen and has made the league worst.
Not true. Most Allerdyce teams have played the same style of football which is why he has barely managed a team in the top half of the table.
Completely agree. Variety makes football great, not trying the same style despite the players you have.
I understand theres a time and place to play lump the ball route 1 football.
But the likes of Sam allardyce, tony pulis, sean dyche, david moyes etc.
Play this style every single game without fail and its absolutely diabolical
This is like an illiterate person being mad at a literate person for writing poetry
I think Allerdyce is likely illiterate.
Sam is the human equivalent of a Simpsons character. He basically Chief Wiggum if he was a Manager of a lower level EPL Club.
Pep ruined these PL managers, thank you Cruyff
I watched this guy break George Lyalls leg when Bolton played Hull City at Boothferry Park...Great goal from George in the process , nit never the same after.

@@3than1011stop defending mediocrity
Bang on to be fair. So many managers now say, "we try to play the right way" in reference to passing football. The right way to play is the way that suits the players you have available to you. So many of these young managers do not understand that and think they should try and play like Pep sets his teams up to play.
So many have all the coaching badges, but they can't actually see and adapt to what's going wrong during a game because the UEFA licence coaching has taught them to stick to what they're doing no matter what.
He’s right. It is the worst kind of football if you solely rely on it. The best teams don’t play just one style, they’re able to do it all. Man City will rely on crosses if it works against certain teams, and their defenders are all excellent in the air, their midfielders will kick you to put you off. It’s most other clubs that build a team that’s only good at keeping the ball and doing fuck all with it. Keeping possession is the easiest thing to do in football. See Russell Martin. Last season his Swansea side lost 2-1 to Millwall. They had 80 per cent possession and Millwall had 1 shot on target. Two own goals from two very good crosses into the box that the Swansea defenders didn’t have a clue how to defend.
How can somebody call Tiki-Taka one of the worst football? What Messi, Xavi and Iniesta used to do through Tiki Taka was a absolute beauty!
Let’s be real, Sam allardyce stole a living.
I agree with him. The best football is dynamic and attacking at speed. Dortmund, zenit and ajax are some of the teams that mastered it in the last 10 years and beat so great teams along the way.
Big Sam's Bolton team with okocha, djorkaeff, Nolan etc played quality football.
Bros been a manager for 30 plus years and hasn’t won a single thing but the people that played that style won a lot 😂
My left testicle could win la Liga with Barcelona the Bundesliga with Bayern and the PL with Man City.
I kind of agree. I don’t really like playing out from the back in every situation and I think a lot of teams suffer by not just hoofin’ it up the field when under pressure.
The key to most games is the midfield.
No top team plays out from the back every time. Prime Barcelona had Pique ready to make a long ball if the opportunity to make a quick counter presents itself. Spain's world cup winning team played short passes but Xabi Alonso was a fixture in that midfield. Liverpool when they won the title was a possession team but you would see Allison, Trent, and VVD kick it up to Salah or Mane for the quick counter. City does the same.
Sam just parks 10-11 men on their final third and just clear the ball, hoof it up everytime hoping the other team falls asleep or make a mistake.
I could imagine Big Sam team talk before games… no Tippa tapa.. 4-4-2 get them long balls in the mixer!
This is exactly what I think. Facts. Passing football is BORING
This answers the question thats come up recently "Why are there no elite English managers?"
Except Eddie Howe who’s fucking incredible.
Let me introduce you to Sean Dyche.
I can't work out what was more entertaining, Pep's Barcelona or Sam's Blackburn.
Football nowadays is more dynamic then it ever was..players get thru plenty of physical interactions and that is no joke ,but to say that the managers are at fault all the time is hard to say ,I've seen some get sacked after a few games which is ridiculous, so to say who is there to blame ,well the owners for sure...greed is the killer of the game
This pragmatic 4-4-2 worked for Pakistan, we lost 12 games in a row, zero wins since 2018. Then our new english coach came and started playing long balls and target man, long story short, we drew cambodia away, and won at home to advance to round 2 of WCQ. We play Saudi Arabia on 16th november ..
Big Sam is an inspiration to Sunday league managers
It is true to a degree. When liverpool were playing their best it was usually a long ball up to salah or manè
I agree, the boring passing around. Sir Alex's football was the best entertaining football ever
i like how a guy like him with no trophies to his name and a medicore playing career can say that like he knows it all
The reason why i love football is that there are no “right” way of winning they are 100 solution to a game and thankfully you just have to find one
It's about having the most adaptable team and the one that can win the most games. Current tactics use a back 3 to overload the midfield and gain control of possession; this doesn't mean it's the best possible tactic, but it's producing the best results so coaches that can't adapt are sacked. Simple as
And this is why no english manager has one the pl lmao
the most important thing is adaptability, Long ball is not good enough, that's why modern football teams win things
Some truth to this , Mexico switched to long ball on a “A” team Germany couple days ago and Germany was barely able to get a 2-2. Gotta be able to read the game a adjust accordingly. That’s the right way to play football .
Big Sam is a Legend, that Bolton team used to do Arsenal regularly. They had flashes of brilliance too
The right type of football is the type of football that wins both games and fans hearts, it can be route 1 or it can be tikitaka, it doesn’t have to be either it just has to compliment the players you have available to you
I really thought about this and it’s true, no one has a unique style of play anymore it’s all the same structure
Entertain the public with the best play your team can manage. I remember when every club had its own style and selected players to play that way. The fans pay to see their side beat the other side, or even lose, but on their terms.
I miss direct football. It is different from long ball, but so much better than possession based because it is so much more attacking than possession
Go watch klopp team
Spurs now
Just watch Real Madrid or any great Carlo Ancelotti side. He has been using direct football his entire managerial career which he learned from his former Manager at Milan (Fabio Capello).
@@taliamason7986 yeah solid defence/midfield, good goalscorer and bloody get to goal as quick as possible before other team gets 9 men behind the ball 💤💤💤💤
Wise words from the only unbeaten England manager, what a Bolton side he created during the prime of the EPL
The difference is with tiki taka possession based football, your team can not be motivated to the max and probably still win, especially if you’ve got the better players.
But long ball and counter attacking requires 100% commitment every game to get stuck in physically.
Ange is the right type of football
This is the level of intellect that saw Big Sam go from England manager to unemployable in record time. Will always love the clip vs Swansea though.
I do agree with him to a point, back when barca played it it was something special, now every man and there dog plays it, how many goals are conceded from playing it across your back 4 and getting caught
And honestly that's why pep is dominating because now everybody wants to play a style he has mastered..
I remember when van gaal brought tiki taka to man utd and was losing because alot of teams where just hitting long balls over and over again...
“Tippy tappy”🤣🤣🤣🤣
there is no right way to play. that is the brilliance of the sport. whatever works to win is the right way
The right type of football is whatever works best for a team.
Style of play becomes a myth to an extent if there the player profiles don't align. You can play well and be effective, but its how you get there and that depends on who you have.
Scholes, Carrick, Joe Cole to name a few are players who suffered from England not playing a 4-3-3 and pass and move style from 2002-2010.
Football is an entertainment medium. If youre not emtertaining its the wrong football
i played at a decent level of football, saturday league, teir 8 of English football. it’s not professional but some teams are paying their players a small amount of money.
my first 3 managers all loved this tiki taka football, playing out from the back and essentially trying to be like man city. which is great. when it works, it looks and feels so beautiful. however, it’s more complicated to play - positioning especially and the constant inter changing etc.
we didn’t do too bad but our next manager said, okay to the forward, he will hold it up and then have players from mid/ wings driving forward calling for the ball and do balls over the top behind the opponents full backs etc. we played so much better even though our opponents were better quality players.
if you’re not man city, and you try to play like man city it will work okay if your players are better than the opponents but as soon as it’s equal or your players are worse then you are screwed.
sometimes being sage and sticking to the basics is better. be it a 442 or not.
Yes he's right premier League football clubs has suffered from the tipy tapy team ask arsenal and man u about it😂
The issue with this though, is that one of the best team to ever grace the pitch were the masters of tiki taka.
That Barcelona team is icon because of the tiki taka style the played and mastered.
Brentford play out from the back a lot. That's why Arteta wanted Raya. They play a mixed style and tailor it to the opposition and the players they have available.
It's mostly only the top teams who play out from the back religiously. Aside from Brighton and Bielsa when he was at Leeds, and maybe Emery at Villa, almost all the other managers adapt to the games. ie when they're playing vastly superior opposition they usually don't risk playing out from the back as much, sit back more and play counter attack, at least for periods of the game.
I remember a game Brentford played away at Everton I think. When they were behind an Everton got a man sent off. Frank brought on two midfielders to basically play CB. And they passed Everton to death, worked the space they had from the extra man, turned the game around and won.
They play long balls up to Toney because he's great in the air and it's a way to bypass the press. eg. at Leeds we had a 1-dimensional manager called Jesse Marsch, whose whole system was built around pressing. It worked really well against top 6 teams who would ALWAYS play out from the back because that was how they played. But against Brentford, they just pinged long balls upto Toney and immediately had 2v2 or 3v3.
And when we played Brighton, they decided to not play out from the back because they'd done their research. They played long passes over our press as well.
Allardyce basically never plays out from the back, he's 1-dimensional.
There's a reason we have almost no quality British managers who play good, progressive football. Because of this culture.
Exactly this is what managers like Rogers and Parker do and it gets them nowhere - they dont play it right because they totally rely on the opponents making mistakes and coming forwards while they knock the ball sideways, instead of actually passing FORWARD (you know, the direction of the goal you're aiming for) and forcing mistakes from.the opponents - because they dont have the players to do that in the premier league. If Burnley were playing a long ball they would have done much better in all their games (aside from Luton) against proper premier league teams, but managers refuse to do that because they have no adaptibility and refuse to build a team around their beat players - instead forcing their players to fit into their sub par passing style which acheives more relegations than any other tactic
I agree to a point you need to play to your squads strengths not every team is suited to one style of play and it’s wrong for a manager to have a team play a style they are not suited to play
I remember when the England football team were royally thrashed and left Euro 88 in disgrace and all the commentators and critics were saying “oh its because we can only play the long ball and all our defenders know is to welt it upfield to a tall centre forward to get a head in and that they had no European cafe culture pinache to their play and they couldn’t play through the middle of the park. Our defenders were donkeys who couldn’t handle nimble players like Marco Van Basten.
No we’ve come full circle and we’re lamenting the qualities of the long ball route one to goal method.
I partially agree with Big Sam Everyone should play some sort of tiki taka but not everyone can Tiki Taka. it looks beautiful and it’s the most effective when done right but trying to do this with players you know that can’t shouldn’t they should play football that suits the team
I somewhat agree with this. A great counter to tiki taka is literally maintain a solid defensive shape, wait for mistakes, and hit them on the counter. Possession ball usually maintain an insane high line. Instead of complicating things do it simple, like a long ball. Chelsea vs Barcelona 2nd leg with Chelsea 10 men is a prime example. It does seem that today, more and more managers are obsessed with possession as if it granted points. Most possession I see is utter useless. Difference is Pep uses possession to attack other teams use possession to maintain the ball. Like Mourinho said; you can have 99 percent of the ball, I want the 3 points.
tikki takka is beaten by the high press, high press is beaten by the long ball, longball is beaten by tikki takka. i have been watching soccer since the mid 80's when my dad (airborne officer) was stationed in Germany. this seems to me the natural order of things. but what do i known. i am a Canadian that cheers for the Leafs
