I mean Dyche wasted a lot of decent fixtures too - Lampard is still useless but call a spade - a spade here.

We should've been in the clear and safe by now if he'd not done that, but here we are.
I'm not sure dyches fixture compare to losing at home to soton and wolves (bottom at the time).

The Bournemouth game and Leeds at home are the only real so called gimmes. Lampard wasted the rest.

Right so Fulham at home without half their team or their manager was an expected loss.

Forest, who we could/should've had on the ropes but shot ourselves in the foot was an expected draw.

The dynamic total football of Crystal Palace, who are honestly not very good, was an expected draw.

Wolves, who played like they have nothing to play for and looked shocking, was an expected draw with the miracle goal in the 9999999999th minute too I guess. Loved the "put big Mick Keggers as a right back but then actually move him up top and HOOF" tactic as well.

Absolutely shocking Leicester, where we could see Vardy was troubling Keane all day but Dyche could not - expected draw.

These are all on him and being too stubborn or having absolutely no plan B.

Then there's the inexplicable "Doucoure is out, we're switching ALL the tactics and playing a high line and 4-4-2" change, playing Maupay, persisting with Holgate/Godfrey when you have the better option, and so on.

He's a tiny bit better than Lampard but Lampard was so shocking we just needed to not look absolutely lost on the pitch ffs

Like I said, not comparable

I'm going to defend Dyche a little here. I think the draws would have been losses under Lampard. Especially away from home.

Frankly I think we'll be hoping results go our way on Sunday. Edgiest I've felt since 1998.

But that's not really relevant to the discussion - Dyche for all this superiority he has over Lampard should've known how to set up a team to score a goal other than "shoot on sight" or "get wide and just pump it to the big lad* in the box". They're great points, sure, but any manager worth their salt (like people claim for Dyche) gets a win there. Lampard clearly won't, because he's hot garbage as we now know, but I don't see this massive difference other than Dyche being a great motivator - different manager with different mistakes, all costing the same.



*Big Lad occasionally is actual Neal Maupay, I'd like to remind people lol

Some of this is true and some not. Forest have a very good home record, Wolves too. Palace have been smacking everyone since woy went there.
