Everton fans on twitter are absolutely fuming at Allardyce
They shouldnt be tho.
It was Lookman's choice to go Allardyce tried to stop him.
Allardyce has had ample opportunities to play Lookman. Some games he hasn’t even made the squad. He’s now joined a side better than Everton and scored the winner.
Allardyce asked if he could've done with Lookman today: "No.... if you could've put him out there today he couldn't have made us any better because the whole team was crap."
We now see why Sam let Ade go - he is protecting him and doesn't want him to suffer by being part of a "crap" team!
On the other hand, if you played Ade your team might not be quite so "crap". And we aren't fooled by you wanting to send the lad to Derby. Scoring in the Championship isn't quite the same as doing so in the Bundesliga and Ade doing so would not have caused the same outburst that tonight's goal has from the Everton fans.
Take that Big Sam ! And while you're at it, tone done the self-justificatory claptrap which could also be construed as an attempt to denigrate the judgment of a fine young player.
I'm delighted to hear that Ade is being "stubborn" about choosing the Bundeslega over the Championship (a league in which he has already proved himself). For me, that shows a degree of intelligence and discrimination which is rare in most young footballers.
Angry Sam Allardyce insists Ademola Lookman would have made no difference to a “pathetic” Everton performance against Arsenal.
“I've got Yannick Bolasie who cost thirty million quid and Theo Walcott who cost twenty million quid and both have a lot more experience than Lookman, so no."
Sam knowing the price of his players but not their value.

Value means squat... Kermorgant cost nothing and Polish Pete cost £700k - Of course Sam if money isnt involved your not interested are you
Brave move by lukman not enough English talent goes abroad. Derby would have been a very easy option but to go out there score on your debut he may just make people sit up and take note.

Charlton debut = goal
Everton debut = goal
RB Leipzig debut = goal
Allardyce only tried to stop him going to Leipzig because he wanted to send him to Derby.
I wonder who at Everton was the one to spread the rumour that he was homesick up north?

From the moment he collects the ball, he is quick, direct and decisive.
Pure quality. And he used to play for Charlton in the Third Division.

Plenty of wingers ahead of him
Absolutely beaming for him. What a finish. Reminds me of his goal against Rotherham in the Championship.
