I thought it was reasonable idea of Allardyce's to play Pereira out on the right. I really could see him cutting in on his strong left foot. However it is an experiment that has obviously failed and he needs to be moved back to his No.10 role where he was our most creative player and scored goals.

Does he think he's too good? Is he sulking?
