are you still reeling over the French police mateLooks like @nsno-chris is back in hibernation. He hates it when we win.
Would you give him a new contract?I honestly think the Dyche-out people are a cult now. A cult with some genuine people at the periphery who want an uptick in the style of play.
It's Branch Davidian-like.
I think on this occasion my friend we will have to agree to disagree.These points in bold say it all really.
You don’t want to live in the real world. Thats fine.
Yeah if I forget about the league, points, and ignore facts, then perhaps your post would make more sense.
Even a few basic facts just undercut everything you say. 2 of the newly promoted teams that came up have goal differences already of -11 and -13. Considering they were two of the best teams and coaches in the championship last season it seems that your assertion that any half qualified manager from the lower leagues can set up a team to defend in the PL just actually isn’t true.
Statistically you can only be lucky so many times. If we just hoofed balls forward for throw ins and flick ons then over 38 games you’d have absolutely minimal points. You surely surely must know this. You end up over a full season with the results you deserve. You can’t just say that we don’t deserve hardly any of the wins because they’re flukes but the losses are all completely damning of the football.
You are off the deep end with some of this stuff ina twilight zone where we forget about results, points, league position, and last minute goals. It’s a complete fantasy land.
Still disappointed we equalised yesterday I see.are you still reeling over the French police mate
I think on this occasion my friend we will have to agree to disagree.
you keep bringing stats into it, I can only go on what my eyes are telling me
my eyes are telling me different, Goodison used to be any intimidating place for other teams to come, any team coming here now will have the upper hand, as the crowd plays no part for the home team.
if your happy with what's being offered at the moment then so be it, but for me I want my Everton team to compete, and to go the game feeling confident of the game to come.
one final stat to think about, that championship manager from Southampton got beat yesterday but Man city away 1-0 when we play city away will the experienced Sean Dyche do better? (i will get the popcorn )
No mate, I didn’t watch it. The same way I didn’t watch the Ipswich game, hence why I have no skin in the gameStill disappointed we equalised yesterday I see.
So you think it’s unrealistic to expect us at match last year? Or do you think it’s only realistic and the height of our ambition to stay in the PL and if we say, achieve 17th we’d say job done? I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect us to achieve what we did last year.I think you may be confusing expectation with reality.
What are our expectations? , realistic expectations based on the last 10 years ? ,20 years ? ,thirty years ?
Staying in the division is realism.
Hoping that our new owners may be able to build the club into something more than what we have is realism.
Accepting that will take several years is realism.
I don’t think anyone is saying that? Yet again, some people can’t look at things objectively. No one wants Dyche long term but he’s doing the job we need now. The club is complete transition, we’ve repeatedly sold our best players and we just need to to stay in the league until the new owners and stadium.We got a 94 minute equaliser at home to mighty Fulham and we should be delighted with that
Not hard at all…it just explains the rationale for the debate.Yes, and I think we will.
But I'm happy with staying up.
I can handle that as we prepare to go into the new stadium and new ownership.
How hard is it to accept that?
There are plenty sayin a point was a good result at home to Fulham. Including the poster you quoted.I don’t think anyone is saying that? Yet again, some people can’t look at things objectively. No one wants Dyche long term but he’s doing the job we need now.

Sometimes you have to play the long time. Accept the rough and smooth.
The exact same attitude was why silva got hounded out. Before he was sacked he lost Gueye in the summer, then injuries to Gbamin and Gomes left us playing Holgate in midfield. Brands didn’t want him sacked because he knew that results were largely due to a heavy injury list and we needed to just ride it out.
People on this forum cry out for progressive managers, a long term plan etc. but the reality is, they don’t have the patience for it.
I completely agree with @davek that some fans will never ever be happy
