2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[blueboy72]

He was binned in an effort to meet PSR. What don't people get ?

Well that worked

Is that cause you believe we were paying him £250k a week?

 

[MikeH72]

Its likely that he will never play him as a 10 now, because he's been asked about it. The stubbornness wont allow it.

For a team that struggles for goals, we've got a left footed right winger, a left winger as a 10 and a 10 as a left winger! But Sean knows best, ffs.

Apparently there’s more evidence to suggest Michael Keane can go up front for 10 minutes than there is to suggest Iliman Ndiaye can play a game behind the striker. The fella is a deadly cocktail of pig headedly arrogant and utterly clueless. I believe every fixture we leave him in charge for is points thrown down the drain from this point, he is finished here.

Naturally, we had to salary match him to DCL's wage after all.

Even Carlo had Gylfi closing passing lanes down mate. It was the bit of his game that fans never quite got to grips with, or should I say give him credit for. He never tackled anybody like, just blocked off lanes and pointed to tell other people were to go.

Defending in a straight line up and down the touchline is a different kettle of fish.

I'd personally like to see him tried behind the striker, or on the right, the manager has made a tactical judgment on him though, and if he genuinely believes that he will struggle with the off the ball bits and/or positioning, then it's the correct call.

He was talking about Ndiaye as a number 10 and the main focus was defending and "blocking passing lanes" No Sean the main focus for a number 10 is to create chances for the striker and let the opposition think about you and how they will stop you.

I never listen to his pressers im sorry i did now, who is "everyone" when he says they keep telling him to play Ndiaye as the number 10?
I havent heard pundits or journos asking this.

Sounds good in theory, but the reality is, you have to play a high line for that sort of strategy to work, otherwise you end up with massive holes in the structure.

I don’t believe it’s the correct call, because I don’t believe this manager knows what he’s doing or has a clue about modern tactics.

Not really you could pack the midfield and play 3 CMs and let him have a free role so he doesnt have to defend as much, and let him do his stuff creating havoc running at their defence.
You could do that if the FBs were allowed to cross the halfway line (to give us width) but Dyche doesnt want that.

Yeah, you could do that. You leave the fullbacks isolated in that set up though, and need full backs who can get up and down the pitch comfortably.

 

[MikeH72]

We’ve got a right back who can get up and down the pitch but he’s sat on the bench not allowed any game time because the manager has decided his face doesn’t fit.

The problem with Dyche amongst many other things is that his attacking players priority is to defend! Thats wrong and that's why why we struggle to create and break teams down.

 

[Lanolin]

In fairness the idea that he said 'he doesn't work hard enough' is just an invention on here. The point he was making was about his ability to close down passing lanes, it's about awareness not effort. Beto has that issue for sure, he runs round like a headless chicken but he doesn't close down with any purpose because he doesn't seem to understand the concept of it.

To be clear, I think it was a stupid thing for Dyche to say, particularly in the current climate, but I think it's important to note that he wasn't accusing him of shirking.

 

[GrandOldSte117]

Morning folks, I hit my head last night and woke up in a bit of a haze. Can anyone let me know how Sean Dyche has been getting on at the mighty toffees?

 

[Zatara]

Patterson & Dixon can surely both be used as attacking full/wing backs.

I'm not concerned at all about them.

Coleman & Young are my concern.
