(Reuters) - The Sam Allardyce effect that Premier League clubs invariably covet in their hour of need was instantly in evidence at Everton on Saturday -- and 'Big Sam' was in bullish mood after celebrating a successful start to his latest salvage operation. "If I take a job I'm totally, fully, committed and I don't take the job in any other circumstances. "I had some work to do tactically at halftime, mainly on Sigurdsson and (Aaron) Lennon not running too far back. I have to say, it got us the first goal," Allardyce said. We can build on the attacking play more once we have established that solid defensive unit."
