To some hes a long-ball manager who plays 19th century football, but those who know Sam Allardyce well describe a different character.
http://www.baseballyankeesmlb.com/authentic-joe-girardi-yankees-jersey/ . A picture emerges of an expert man manager with a passion for sports science,
statistics and psychology.Here, with the help of his former players, we take a
look at the aspects of the game that Allardyce uses to gain every advantage
available… Game plansThe England DNA initiative highlights the importance of
game strategy and the need to devise a specific tactical plan for each fixture
before making relevant tactical changes during the match itself. There was
little evidence of that against Iceland at Euro 2016 and Allardyces former
player and coach, Phil Brown, doesnt believe he would make that mistake. Phil
Brown formed a good partnership with Allardyce at Bolton He knows exactly what
to do in any given circumstance, Brown told Sky Sports. That is where we let
ourselves down in the Euros. The game against Iceland, I thought we looked
devoid of ideas, it looked as if we did not have a gameplan. Sam would never go
into a game without a gameplan and certainly a change of plan, if something went
wrong.Sports scienceAllardyce had a spell in the United States with the Tampa
Bay Rowdies midway through his playing career and the experience had a
significant impact. As he recounted in his autobiography, the sight of three
masseurs was three more than he had been used to in England and he took much of
what he learnt there about conditioning into management. Heres a look at the
style of play you can expect from Allardyce You have to look at the
contributions of recovery, fluid, nutrition, supplements, massage and ice baths,
said Allardyce earlier this year, citing the example of Jermain Defoes continued
ability to perform at the top level. As Kevin Nolan told The Independent in
2013: I knew Sam would give me my best chance of prolonging my career for as
long as I can.A host of experienced names from abroad enjoyed success under
Allardyce at Bolton. Despite the intensity of the Premier League, he was able to
keep the likes of Youri Djorkaeff and Fernando Hierro performing at a high level
beyond their 36th birthdays. Ivan Campo once said that Allardyce taught him
everything he knew. A look at some of Allardyces classic touch-line moments as a
manager When Michael Bridges joined Bolton from Leeds in 2004, he was
astonished. He opened my eyes to a whole different side of football - the
nutrition, the analysis, the way he monitored the players, Bridges told the
Sunderland Echo. Wed have studies on the opposition players, wed have seminars
on nutrition. Sam was streets ahead of his time.Statistical analysisThe
innovations in terms of sports science have also been evident in Allardyces use
of data. Building on his experiences in the States, he was one of the first to
make use of ProZone and introduced a host of analysts into football. Gavin Fleig
is now Manchester Citys global lead for talent management but started as a
performance analyst for Allardyces Bolton. Allardyce honed his use of data
during his long spell in charge of Bolton According to Soccernomics: Fleig
recalled that Bolton used to score 45 to 50 per cent of their goals from
set-pieces, compared to a league average of about a third. Fleig said: We would
say, If a defender clears the ball from a long throw, where will the ball land?
Well, this is the area it most commonly lands. Right, well thats where well put
our man.Allardyce is still looking for that edge. Everybody seems to be intent
on how far they run and how fast they run, he told Sky Sports. But youve got
other elements that you must calculate with it - where they run, where they
receive the ball, how many interceptions theyve made, how many passes theyve
made, who theyve made the passes to.Jay-Jay Okocha worked with Allardyce for
four years at Bolton between 2002 and 2006 and even a mercurial talent like the
Nigerian could not escape this commitment to utilising data. There was nowhere
to hide, Okocha told Sky Sports. Hell tell you everything when it comes to
stats. Everything was for your own good. A look at some of Allardyces best media
conferences as a manager PsychologyI think what you have with Sam is a fantastic
man manager, Shrewsbury boss Micky Mellon, who played for Allardyce at
Blackpool, told the Shropshire Star. He really takes his time to get to know
players very well and he builds brilliant relationships. You want to do well for
him. I still speak to him regularly, even now. I am just delighted he has got
the job.Much of that is down to simple interpersonal skills but theres a
framework to it as well. Wed sit down with psychologists to set goals, realistic
targets, not dreams, which I thought was brilliant, recalled Bridges. It did me
the world of good psychologically. Getting inside the heads of the England squad
is the challenge facing Allardyce now. Also See: The Allardyce dossier Mourinho:

seem to mind being on the road.Tomas Kopecky scored the game winner and Jussi
Jokinen recorded a pair of assists as the Panthers stretched their winning
streak to three games with a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on
Sunday.Jimmy Hayes, Brian Campbell and Sean Bergenheim also scored for the
Panthers (20-11-9), who are 4-1-0 through the first five games of a six-game
road trip and 11-6-6 in road games overall this season.I dont think we were at
our best tonight, but we found a way to get it done, Campbell said. Its a big
game, getting towards the end of the trip, you have to keep the pedal
down.Florida goalie Roberto Luongo said his teams key to winning is overall team
play.Weve got four balanced lines, theyve been chipping in offensively which is
nice and weve been finding ways to win hockey games, he said. We have one more
big game left on this trip, so well enjoy tonight and refocus on the next
one.Panthers head coach Gerard Gallant said Sundays win was a pretty good
example of that team-first philosophy.Thats how youre going to win with our
hockey team, he said. You look at our lineup, we dont have an 80, 90-point guy,
so we have a bunch of guys chipping in, working hard.We play four lines all the
D play and they all chipped in tonight.Jordan Eberle and Benoit Pouliot
responded for the Oilers (10-24-9), who have only four wins to show from their
past 28 games.We had some very costly errors at bad times, said Oilers assistant
captain Taylor Hall. That was our downfall. I dont think we played bad, I just
thought there were some really key moments in the game where we didnt do our
jobs.Oilers forward Boyd Gordon said his team is one that cant afford to make
too many mistakes.We were a little bit sloppy tonight, he said. We were hanging
around, but we couldnt find a way to get on to the winning side. Our first
period was a bit all over the place. We havent found a way to put a full 60
minutes together, and until we do that, we arent going to win too many games.The
Panthers were first on the scoreboard four minutes into the first period as a
defensive breakdown allowed Hayes to pick up a loose puck in front of the
Edmonton net before spinning around and beating Oilers starter Ben Scrivens for
his 13th goal of the season.Florida came close to adding to its lead with six
minutes to play in the first when a Jonathan Huberdeau shot rang off the post
behind Scrivens.The Panthers had 11 shots in the oppening frame to Edmontons
nine on Florida goalie Roberto Luongo.

After Scrivens made a huge save on a two-on-one to start the second period,
Edmonton tied the game 1-1 four minutes in as several Oilers had whacks at a
loose puck during a scramble in front of the Panthers net before Eberle was able
to flip in a backhand shot for his 11th goal of the year.Florida made it 2-1
seven minutes into the second as a Campbell wrist shot from the point deflected
off of the stick of Oiler Matt Hendricks and completely fooled Scrivens, who
didnt even wave at it.The two teams traded goals just 32 seconds apart, five
minutes into the third period.Florida made it 3-1 as it won a race for a puck
behind the Edmonton net before Derek MacKenzie fed it in front to set up a quick
one-timer goal by Kopecky.The Oilers responded quickly with a delayed penalty
coming their way as Pouliot scored his second goal in as many games during
another scramble in front of the Florida net.The Panthers took a two-goal lead
with four-and-a-half minutes to play as Nail Yakupov had his pocket picked and
then the puck hopped over the stick of Andrew Ference, allowing Bergenheim to
walk in and tuck the puck past Scrivens.I felt like we were going to come back
in that game and then a couple of turnovers on one play and it ends up in the
back of our net, Eberle said. Thats what happens when you do that in this
league.Luongo made 31 saves in the victory.Both teams return to action on
Tuesday as the Panthers will close out a six-game road trip in Winnipeg against
the Jets. The Oilers will start a four-game road swing in St. Louis.Notes: It
was the first of two games between the teams this year, the second coming in a
week on Saturday, Jan. 17. Edmonton won both match-ups with the Panthers last
year with Oilers centre Ryan Nugent-Hopkins recording five assists in the
two-game set. Florida came into the game without a win in Edmonton since
December 11th, 2008… Scrivens was playing in his fourth career game against the
Panthers, having recorded two shutouts in his previous three starts against
Florida… Each team will have only one representative at the upcoming NHL
All-Star Game. Selected for Florida was Luongo, while Nugent-Hopkins will suit
up for Edmonton… Panthers centre Aleksander Barkov missed the game with a bout
of the flu while Shawn Thornton remained out with a groin injury… The lone
injury for Edmonton is forward Tyler Pitlick (lacerated spleen).
