The Blackburn boss has only ONE tactic - 'Route One and get stuck into them!'

However, Big Sam has hit back at claims that his side are too aggressive in their tackling.

Fulham midfielder Danny Murphy sparked a row last week after claiming the likes of Rovers, Stoke and Wolves are overly physical in their approach.

Murphy described some tackles as "ridiculous" and "brainless" and said bosses had to take responsibility.

Sam Allardyce (talking to The Mirror): "When you get one not-so-good tackle it is highlighted so much.

"You can get four different angles and slow it down which makes it look that much worse.

"If there are fewer of them we highlight them more and there is a little bit more outrage.

"The collision speed means the impact is that much greater, not so much the impact on the injury but the look of the tackle looks so much more volatile than it is.

"I don't agree with what most people are saying. Players are well behaved and make life good for the referee in the majority of times.

"I think it is over the top to say it needs to be stamped out. There are far fewer incidents than five or six years ago in the Premier League."
