Injuries part of the game eh.
We got lucky last season with them.
Most teams have some depth - we don't.
Why do we have to play with fullbacks? Or alternatively, he knew we only had Young available why not give Dixon a run out against Roma - a fast young energetic player with pace to burn who is a right back.
sometimes things like this happen and you give a player and chance and they take that opportunity to shine. But no PL experience so that’s a write off
he’s trying to fit square pegs in round holes instead of trying to find alternatives. The obsession to play one way only has impeded his development as a manger.
He’s organised, gets teams fit but is so tactically inept it’s scary
And both things can be true.
Yes we have a pretty bad squad, lacking in any quality above 2 or 3 players.
But a good coach gets a tune, a good coach uses his squad and doesn't keep playing the same failing players over and over again.

Maybe the team is also VERY bad.
Look at it;
Put any hipster manager you want in.
Put Ndiaye and Lindstrom in.
Put Branthwaite in.
Hope we don't get ANY injuries.
And it's still crap.

Started for Lyon all season and was one of their best players, not good enough to start ahead of Keane, think that shows Duchess judgement and shy he should be nowhere near transfer decisions.

Both at there best as wide forwards/ams mate
If the club feel the same way - he shouldn't be the manager then as the gap between recruitment an coach is too big.
I mean it’s pretty pointless doing a starting 11 for 2 reasons
1. We know what Dyche will play
2. For a team to be flexible in how they approach games it’s taught on the training pitch and preseason. But given we have one way of playing and didn’t bother doing any tactical work till the start of August it’s pretty unlikely that they would be able to adapt to a new way of playing in the space of 5 days
I’m sure more fitness training will be on the cards this week though

Tim here's the thing, what striker could we sign that would suit a Dyche system AND be banging in 15-20 goals.
And how much would this player who can play a target man, hold it up and be lethal cost us?
I disagree strongly.
And we will only know when Dyche is sacked and replaced by a decent manager.
Sheff Utd fans told me he's best central. Also;
"He could either play as a striker, supporting striker, winger on either flanks, or behind the striker as a 10. However, the position we have seen Ndiaye the most is in the central areas either as a centre-forward in a 4-3-3 or a centre-forward in a two man strike partnership. His pace and his quick feet is largely seen as a problem solving tool in attack. " [Link]
This fella reckons Lindstrom is also best central. He said the same to the BBC.
Never seen either play apart from NDiaye yesterday so no clue.

I have stopped calling for him to be sacked.
Did it two seasons ago, then last season, and was taken apart for daring to be so, oh what was the word @Moomin used?
Well, he got what he wanted, another season of dinosaur Sean, so now he can enjoy it without my obstinance.
Everything on here is pointless.
I'm intrigued as to what 11 you'd have that doesn't require full backs and would give us pace/improvement to go to Spurs to get us a result.
