Big Sam’s seven-point PL survival blueprint proves idiot-proof as Leeds draw with NewcastleSam Allardyce revealed his secret survival sauce on Monday Night Football in 2017, and Leeds followed his seven-point blueprint to beat the drop to claim a vital point at Elland Road.
After Junior Firpo slipped in pursuit of a what looked to be a relatively harmless pass into the Leeds box, Wober took a big old swipe at the ball rather than poking it beyond Alexander Isak, leaving the big striker in a heap on the floor. Callum Wilson calmly dispatched the penalty two minutes after Patrick Bamford saw his frankly terrible spot kick saved by Nick Pope, who would barely have needed half of his 6ft 3in frame to dive and stop it.
“The Premier League is so good that the opposition can capitalise massively on those mistakes,” Allardyce said in that MNF masterclass. “You give the ball away there and the opposition are at your back four or your back two and they are shooting and scoring goals.” Leeds did the defensive aspect of point 5) ‘Prioritise set pieces’ reasonably well, with Kieran Trippier’s dangerous deliveries from dead balls dealt with by hook or by crook, with no small amount of panic quite a lot of the time, but dealt with all the same.
Firpo somehow avoided a second yellow in that instance but was eventually given his marching orders for another bizarre challenge, this time on Anthony Gordon, just outside the box in the 90th minute.
