Everton fans are frustrated after hearing Sam Allardyce’s reasons behind not signing a left-back.
Sam Allardyce’s comments about Everton’s search for a new left-back, have led to Director of Football Steve Walsh getting a great deal of criticism on social media website Twitter.
Everton have not yet signed a new left-back this month, despite a lack of options in the position.
The Toffees fans are disappointed not to see a left-sided defender snapped up, and Allardyce’s explanation over why Everton did not move for one has not gone down well.
He said to the Liverpool Echo: “We have looked at many left-backs and obviously we can’t find the right left-back that we’re looking for.”
Walsh has now come under scrutiny from Everton fans, who feel as if the experienced scout should have found a left-back better than what they already have.
Everton have been forced to play Cuco Martina out of position at left-back for much of the campaign so far, with Leighton Baines out injured.
Martina has struggled badly, and it was thought that Allardyce would make signing a left-back his top priority this month.
Walsh was already under pressure at Everton, as many of the Toffees’ summer signings have not been as successful as hoped.
