Obama presses Turkey’s president to lower tensions with Iraq
On Dec. 4, Turkey reinforced the force protection component of its units in the camp due to increasing threats to their security. Their conversation came after Turkish troops were wounded when a training base in northern Iraq was hit by Daesh on Wednesday.
“There’s no offers or conversations with Lorient at this moment of time”, said Allardyce.
It is common that following the dismissal of any manager, a reaction is expected from the players as fans demand they step up and prove that the club’s decision was correct, that theory will be in place this weekend, especially with Mourinho being a fan favourite, the pressure will be high on the club’s star players to perform. “So if we bring in two players I think we will have done well”.
“I think there will be a reaction from their players but I also think what happens with the crowd could be interesting”.
Allardyce and Mourinho have had their run-ins in the past, with the two-time Chelsea boss accusing his fellow manager of presiding over “19th Century football” during his time with West Ham United.
Allardyce knows that inflicting a 10th Premier League defeat of the season on Chelsea could make a crucial difference to Sunderland’s campaign.
“Their players haven’t seen this before”.
“So there will be many disappointments that we come across because I find the success rate in January very low indeed”. “They have had huge pressure at the top but the pressure down here is different”.

Sunderland’s task is to try to make the situation worse, and while Allardyce brushed aside suggestions that tomorrow’s game is a “relegation six-pointer”, he is hoping that Chelsea’s position is even more perilous come the end of the weekend. A win for the away side would see them join Chelsea on 15 points, and potentially drop the Blues into the relegation zone as well.
