Everton’s midfielder Nikola Vlasic has blasted Sam Allardyce for playing terrible football and has blamed him for losing out on an opportunity to impress at Goodison Park.
“Everything changed after Koeman left. The football played by Big Sam was awful, if it could even be called football,” Vlasic told Croatian newspaperSportske Novosti. “In such football I do not have a place. The football team was terrified by everything, the fans mostly. This season, Marco Silva plays different, much nicer football, but has not got results. It is true that Everton did not make an expected breakthrough but at least fans now look at the normal football in which the guys, through their actions, are trying to score and win.”
The player is currently out on loan and does not believe he will be able to return to the team in England.
“Honestly, I do not believe. Everton paid about £90m on only three players – Richarlison, (Yerry) Mina and (Lucas) Digne – and are therefore looking for great names and players from big clubs, like Barcelona. Despite these immense investments the team is currently in the 11th place, which means there will be new, big purchases. When you bring three players out of Barcelona in a few days (Mina, Digne and on-loan Andre Gomes) then it’s clear that you do not have much care for those who came from the small league. So I expect them to sell me as soon as they get their first bid.”
