2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

Here's the full quote, lids.

Dyche also responded to calls for Iliman Ndiaye to be moved into a central role by saying there is “no evidence” the Senegal international should be playing in the No 10 position.

The £15 million summer signing has impressed since joining from Marseille but has played the bulk of his minutes on the left wing so far.

“He’s doing well off the left,” Dyche said. “People keep telling me I should be playing him there. People keep telling me of my role as a manager.

“I think he can adapt to Everton. The modern No 10 has to defend from there. Dwight does it very well on the offensive side but has found the defensive side more of a challenge.

“It’s not as easy as you think getting the right passing lanes to stop the opposition and then attacking on turnovers over 95 minutes. That can be developed over time but he’s doing a good job coming off the left — he can wriggle and drive into the box. He’s still adapting.”

Dated tactics
Hopefully he's out of time

This is the most important bit of his answer, geniune arrogance without a background of continued professional success creates monsters. He doesn’t like being questioned, I bet most of the players absolutely hate him, not an ounce of humility.

Imagine my surprise to check in here and find that people are falling over themselves to somehow justify the absurd notion that "there's no evidence to suggest he should be playing as a number 10". Really? With almost half his matches played there, where he scored more goals per minute than any other? Where he plays for his national team?

What a disingenuous lie that is. Dyche could have said "I think he's better on the left" and while Id disagree with him you could make some argument. But to say "there's no evidence" as a reason why you cant play him in that position is exposed as a lie when you consider that HE HAD NO EVIDENCE HE COULD PLAY ON THE LEFT. Yet that's where Dyche has played him. 154 matches for club and country before Dyche got a hold of him and only 9 of those were on the left, yet that's where Dyche plays him. Without evidence to suggest he should be playing there.

Dyche did a fine job last season, and I suspect got miffed about the backing and criticism, and has since decided hes going to throw in the towel until they fire him because he didnt get a contract extension.
He doesn't know his players well enough imo
See the service he gives Dom: into his chest/head 20 yards from goal and expects him to go full Bergkamp
Carlo saw straight away that tap ins from the byline and headers, first time shots without time to overthink it and we had a goalscorer
 

Yep. Someone said yesterday that he over achieved last season finishing 12th (without the point deduction) and so this season he is doing well and is where he should be.

I kid you not.
Even the staunchest of Dychettes know that he’s just not up to it but such is the falling off a cliff edge in standards, they not only accept it but actually defend it. SDSS (Sean Dyche Stockholm Syndrome).
