2024/25 Relegation Battle (Without Everton!)

[MikeH72]

True though isn't it?

Be a walk in the park for whoever comes in.

Gonna be a sore one for the Dychettes when we do improve under the new manager.

Lampard tried that with this squad. Won 12 of 44, losing 24 of them. Fortunately he realised and openly acknowledged he had to park style/what he wanted to do, to try an get results. We didn't improve points per game under him Vs Benitez and crawled over the line.

Didn’t realise ‘trying to win a football match’ was such a controversial tactic tbh.

Cant see any different between hudson odoi and harrison myself tbh

New manager bounce is very real.

Like so;

Feb 23;

Everton's Premier League season

Sean Dyche - 2 wins from 3 games

Frank Lampard - 3 wins from 20 games

March 23;

What a job Sean Dyche is doing...

Despite taking charge of just seven games, Sean Dyche has already won as many Premier League games with Everton this season (3) as Frank Lampard did (3/20)

Everton have kept 3 clean sheets in 7 games since Dyche appointed. Prior to that, Everton kept 4 clean sheets in 20 games August-January.

So again - amongst all the doom and gloom.

If Sean Dyche can come in with us at lowest ever points total in our history after 20 games, and us 19th with Liverpool and Arsenal X2 his first 5 games and still keep us up - then the hope is whoever does replace him, with what many believe is now a better squad should do it easy. No problem.

What will the excuse be when they do exactly that?

Didn't we try for Elanga?

Couldn't afford him/tried to loan?

…it’s more a point that there are bargains out there, even on a limited budget.

He actually said he didn't fancy the style of play.
