2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[Delargeinho]

Big game Saturday Sean. Nothing other than a win will do really will it. Don’t let us down.

I really hope we won't regret not taking action during the international break.

Old dyche and his gaffer days,
The rumour is that’s what crocked Branthwaite, first day back straight into a gaffer day

Who's injuring the players in training though? Because I've watched these players long enough to know that most of them back out of tackles.

They're tripping over cones, aren't they.

Never seen the lad before I don’t think, usually it’s Baz from Toffee TV. It begs the question as to why he’s on there if his views are compromised doesn’t it. I mean the way he comes across it’s borderline obedience.

I don't watch any of his stuff but i've seen him in offical Everton content and he makes his own too. He absolutely has links to the club and there's no way he's going to slag them or the players off in any way. He's definitely the sort of person the club would rather have on shows like that; it paints a rosy picture of everything being fine!

Waiting for the next photo shoot…..

The same principle applies even if you just say Branthwaite though (he even said that in his post). Branthwaite is arguably both our best and most important player. Last season he started 35 games (and people cryarsed the hell out of him not starting 2 of the other 3) and this season he has already been unable to start 9 and has seemingly not been fully fit for the 2 he has. Obviously if you're totally dense you'll say this is making an excuse for Dyche, but the reality is it's just a simple statement of fact that not having Branthwaite available as much as he was last year is something that is likely to impact our performance year on year. It's not an insurmountable obstacle that justifies whatever happens but it's also not something you can just ignore and pretend isn't relevant, because it absolutely is.

I’ve never ignored the fact Branthwaite is a big miss, that would be stupid, it’s this notion that we’ve had loads of injuries. Which I think has effected the bench rather than the first team, also dyche hardly makes subs anyway, so even if we had the strongest bench possible, would he use it? . In 2 yrs he probably averages 2 subs a game and one is usually after 80mins

 

[John from Bootle]

Going a quarter of a season without winning a single game, picking up 7 points from 39 would see most managers sacked

It most certainly isn’t over egged because it’s one of the worst run of forms in our history

Maybe it would, I'm just saying it's not quite as bad as it sounds when you look at the fixtures, though there was appalling results in there, and I did say going that long without a win is not really good enough. I definitely wouldn't defend another run like that, but last season I accepted it, as I didn't feel he'd lost the players, though he did his best to at Chelsea, and I was sympathetic to the pressure that had been heaped upon us through no fault of our own really.

Also, it's a very selective period of stats. By adding 5 games either side of the 13 games I could say we lost 9 of 23 and took 31 points from those 23 games.

End of the day though mate, it's about the here and now, and he can't afford a defeat against Brentford if he 'wants' my continued backing.

We can’t afford a draw against Brentford in my opinion JFB.

I can't speak for him but I took the point catcher was making to be that we have been affected by injuries a lot more than last season, not necessarily that the amount of players injured is a lot more. Branthwaite is obviously the big one there, but I do think the others need to be taken into account too. Whether we think they're great players or they would be guaranteed starters is by the by really, you would imagine that most of the players named earlier would have been used a fair bit if not for injury. Patterson maybe not, and Broja personally I wouldn't count because we knew he was injured when we signed him, but the others for sure. Again, it's not intended to be an excuse, it's just something that's worth noting, particularly when people are saying the squad has improved - even if we accept it has then that is balanced out to some extent by the fact that some of the options we had last year haven't been available this year.

Wouldn't be the first time.

I can’t believe we’re going over this again. Having better quality options on the bench would be a benefit for the manager and give him more options, that is just logical for any manager. Therefore injuries to players that may not be in the first 11 but are on the bench do absolutely make a difference. We had two fit central midfielders v West Ham and instead of being able to rotate on Garner or Iroegbunam we had to keep Mangala and Gueye going all game whilst West Ham were able to freshen up.



Garner Branthwaite Coleman all play in Dyche’s first choice 11 when fit. One is also our best player. The other in a lot of people’s view, aside from your own, is our best midfielder. The third is our captain and first choice right back. Take those profile of players out of any other bottom half club for a significant period of time and see what happens. Crystal Palace have fallen apart defensively and their fans blame Andersen going to Fulham and not being properly replaced. I wouldn’t have him near Branthwaite in terms of ability but his unavailability is defining their whole season.

There’s enough genuine issues at Everton without you trying to pedal that injuries won’t have an effect on our points total.

No chance he was going to slate the club live on TV, that's StillRyan he's a content creator with links to the club and mates with a couple of the players e.g. McNeil.

Wtf is a content creator
