Sam Allardyce: "I am playing around with the side, trying to get to know them.
"Trying to get what system is the best, who is better playing with who, and that is certainly more frustrating for some players than others."
Allardyce Still Testing The Water
He is coming to terms with the problem of keeping eleven players happy ... and not the ones already in the side ... but the eleven who cannot get into the team!
Steve Harper and Shay Given is not the only pair he is trying to accomodate. Oba Martins isn't too happy at life on the sidelines when Michael Owen is fit, and Emre and Faye are looking for the chance of action.
But it is a nice problem to have.
