One of Allardyce's main strengths is supposed to be improving sides defensively.
If you look at Bilic's last 10 games before getting sacked
0 goals conceded - 2 times
1 goal conceded - 4 times
2 goals conceded - 3 times
3+ goal conceded - 1 time
So there's only one game where we take a battering, and that was when we were down to 10 men against Crystal Palace in which we competed in well until the sending off.
In Bilic's last 10 games we concede either 0 goals or 1 goal in SIX matches.
Allardyce's 10 league games in charge
0 goals conceded - 0 times
1 goal conceded - 1 time
2 goals conceded - 5 times
3+ goals conceded - 4 times
Since Allardyce has taken over we have conceded at least 2 goals in every game except for Liverpool, I haven't even included the cup game against Blackpool where we conceded 2 goals.
So while we can debate that we need better defenders and defensive midfielders and that's true, that doesn't excuse the piss poor job that Sam Allardyce has done so far.
