Match Thread Everton 0-0 Brentford, Saturday 23rd November, 3pm

[Titus Shambles]

Dyche just doesn't understand. He's just not Everton. He's a narcissist with central character syndrome. I get the sense he's affronted that the fanbase aren't more appreciative. He definitely put on a display of ironic clapping at the full time whistle today in response to the chorus of boos.

Last season at Goodison. Everton moving to a new ground. Which bits are supposed to matter to someone like Dyche!?

The only thing that matters to Dyche is his reputation - he's not stupid, he's been around the block enough to know worst case he gets sacked in a month and gets the last £3m of his contract paid up. There's no downside.

So you perpetuate the narrative the talking heads in the media already spout: "he organizes a team", "he's defensively solid", "he's a set piece expert", "his teams are hard to beat" yada yada yada - all the garbage power voices like Neville and Carragher spout without ever actually watching his teams.

That's what gets him his next 3-year £15m contract in a year from now when the bottom 6 or 7 teams in the Prem winter 2025 start to panic and want 'a proven safe pair of hands' to keep them in the richest league in the world no matter the style.
