Shouldn't be anywhere near the squad imo, but the game we conceded 6 (Chelsea) I don't think he started.
We had a 6ft 6 CB on the bench swap any CH & we would have won that came plus swap ped Dixon for Shamus who looked knackered - instead he took our two best forwards off & put his stupid players on .... that were not fit to lace the other players boots = he needs sacking Dyche..... Had enough his tame excuse we were playing one twos at the end - no we collapsed back because of his wrong substitutions
Dixon showed enough against Spurs to show he can be trusted. Agree about o'Brien.
Why he took Ndiaye off I have no idea as soon as that happened Bournemouth pushed up higher, they were terrified of him. He was fatigued? Didn't look it to me. Tim, Seamus were fatigued.
I totally agree that the defeat is mainly on Dyche, but again the spineless nature of a lot of this squad shone through. None more so than Keane.
Any CB could have gone off Dixon to replace Shamus, who for 80 minutes played very well like all the team - Gardener on for Tim the new winger for Harrison etc but no lets give my mate Doucs a game & let's replace our rejuvenated no 9 now he is staying - cost us the game it could have been 5 if Pickford had not pulled off to great saves - he should have been sacked last night & the DOF ....
Oh that’s fine then
We were playing some good stuff and it was refreshing. I just can't understand how a team can capitulate like that after being so in control.
I wish Doucoure had received a one way ticket to Saudi.
We've a couple of weeks break and this is where we can address the Dyche problem.

That would still be a problem under a new manager. I can`t understand Dyche`s thinking behind his subs, am I right in thinking you can make 5 subs still? He seems to wait until as late as possible to make a sub when good managers make changes when they are in control of a game to stay in control. They are n`t going to get to 85 mins thinking the points are in the bag, put on a CF to waste a few seconds, and end up with the car crash of a finish we got yesterday.
Keane just seems to be around every time we get a bad result to make me feel like he`s a jinx.
Lots of problems in the squad, agreed. But Tarkowski is not one of them.
The stats say Keane is a horrendous problem however:
We found him a club , but his greed did not send him there, worse luck for us ....
It's an exaggeration. Did he contribute to us conceding? I'd say yes, either directly or indirectly, because my take is that the defence worry when he plays.
Our back line consistently drops a yard back when he is playing, and is there confidence that he will win balls in the air? I'd say not.
I am a person who naturally looks for the positives and I'll do my best to defend people, but the statistical evidence and the anecdotal (what I see with my eyes)...
... tells me that we're far more vulnerable with him in the side.
This is part of the stick being used to beat him with. He was only on the field for 2 of the goals. We don't even need to take into account the Chelsea game we know how bad he is. Seems a nice guy and he is a decent footballer tbh. Needs to play championship football though.
