If I was picking the team I would have bought fullbacks already.
You disagree strongly that we're crap?
Ok....
Compare our starting 11 with every other team in the prem, and 3/4 clubs max would have more Everton players than opposition,

If we had Glasner he would start both Ndiaye and Lindstrom as AMs in the same vein that he did with Olise and Eze. We would be far better on the attack and actually look good. Dyche would never do that though because he's tactically not as good in that respect. He only knows how to do one thing.
I disagree that not starting Indy, Lindy and Obey wouldn't have been a positive change.

Because Lyon probs my took hardly anything up front and we are one united bid of the right amount away from then having no time to replace and having to play Keane or Holgate until January.
Hell imagine if one of the starters broke down or both and we had a run of games with Keane and holgate starting.
Bare minimum he's starting next season anyways.
We definitely need a RB and LB strengthened this week plus a CM.
I hope Tim turns out to be good ‘cos Gana looks goosed
We are so thin

Nor do I think the squad is terrible; it ain't great by any stretch of the imagination and lack of depth in some areas is worrying, but it's manageable.
Let's be fair to Dyche, he's kept us up in the last two seasons even though our finances have been shambolic, and I think he will do the same again.
But he's frustrating as hell, because for all the need for being solid and robust, you can also use what you've got far more wisely and efficiently than he does.
He had players to use yesterday, and he didn't; he has the opportunity to make adjustments and refinements yet maintain his ethos, but he doesn't.
The issue is that we won't be sacking Dyche any time soon unless we're in the real mire, because there's nobody to do it and the uncertainty over ownership.
Anyway, to transfers... the right back situation not being dealt with AGAIN, is negligent at best.

Lindstrom has never had success playing on the flanks, in both previous clubs to Napoli he played on the right of a 3
We had *100m worth of signings on the bench yesterday.
And a 39 year old starting at RB, who was replaced by a player Southampton sent back from The Championship.
Well it’s not pointless because a new shape and a way of playing requires work in the training ground.
But I can tell you how we’ll play under Dyche
That’s what I meant, rather than an out and out winger but more of an inside forward.
The obsession with the fanbase of having touchline wingers is bizarre
I don’t think the squad is manageable. We don’t have PL quality at RB or LB. We only have 3 PL quality CB. CM we are thin. And attacking, well bugger me.
We need to find two good loans, a biggish purchase and kids to flourish.
We do not have a PL strength squad
He must start them soon though. Next home game ?
He is stubborn and only has one style though
Me too.
Hence naming the 11 before the game and how we'd play.
But you're the one saying theres alternatives which is why I've been trying to understand what that is and what you'd like to see Vs Spurs.
It's easy to find fault. Less so to find solutions.
I think the squad we have dictates what we see.
Not a touchline winger but like they had yesterday brighton would love a winger who has that lace to beat a man. Be direct and pace, all yeaterday was harrison slowing the game down cutting in mcneil not much of anything. That and well even put a first time cross in
