2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[Rita_Poon]

Cos you cant smell a goal lad.

Maybe a double ladle of gravy and see if we have any gifted amateurs in our midst?

 

[Clarky cat]

I bet Kevin Thelwell can smell a goal, I bet he could smell a roast dinner on a Thursday. Get him in coaching the strikers ffs

 

[allen]

Strangely I think Rooney was too good at football to become a great coach. I just don't think he'd understand why players can't do certain things and get frustrated.

Yeah, fair point. I can imagine him shrugging and saying “just hit it”

I rejected the idea myself because I don’t think many managers would be cool with having Rooney on the coaching staff, stealing their limelight.

 

[Rita_Poon]

One thing I can't stand. Moyes used to do it, making out he was a genius turning base metal into golf. Allardyce was the same, when anything good happened it was down to his tactics, when anything went wrong it was the players' fault.

Woulda hated Gareth Bale like...

 

[dixiesdisciple]

Just listened to it. Really annoying how he’s starting to bleat about not having had funds to spend. Wish the journos would counter that by asking about the £40mill spent on Beto and O’Brien who don’t even get a game!! Add Danjuma and Lindstrom to that list of players we sign but don’t get game time.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Our strikers have looked a lot worse since Dunc left I must say.

There's just no scent of fear about the place no more?

Maybe this is Dyche's achilles heel too

 

[matty1878]

if we lose saturday

he’s simply got to go to risky to keep him

if when we lose saturday

he’s simply got to go to risky to keep him

*fixed

 

[Caolam]

Not only does he coach a bar game but he also talks a bad game.

 

[Lob]

Some comedy gold.

Dyche is asked about hsi approach and whether that needs to change in order for the attacking struggles to come to an end. He suggests he is adaptable and flexible, and that the most effective way to improve is with stronger finances in the transfer market. He says he is working hard to develop the players he has and believes he has been successful on that front. He adds that his job has been far wider than just winning games given the challenges he has faced. He accepts that, if he needs to win games, he could do better. But that if you look at the bigger picture of his time at Everton then he is "pretty happy" with what he has achieved.

Back on the goals front, Dyche refers back to another event with good strikers of Forest's past. He speaks about how difficult it is to develop and teach strikers. He says some of it is about intuition and coaching that is tough, but suggests a specialist coach is unnecessary because that is about finessing what is already there.

Dyche praises Broja then dismisses criticism of Mykolenko's form

Giulia Bould points to 8 wins in 2024. Four came in April - what were the club doing then that it hasn't been doing for the rest of the year? Dyche essentially says during that period Everton 'got the right side of the margins... we were very strong defensively, we nicked chances and won games'.

Dyche said after Forest the players initially did not do what he wanted - how does he ensure that doesn't happen again? Dyche says the difficulty was in the first half, it was addressed and that he hopes that situation is a 'rareity'. He says they have spoken with the players this week about that.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Bellend.

 

[Lee Smith]

With every passing interview, I despise him a little bit more

 

[billyblue80]

As I say, in my view - no matter the manager this team gives us a lot more bad weekends than good.

That's not me saying Sean Dyche is the right manager under TFG. He isn't. You won't find any fan who thinks that.

He did a great job for what we needed in keeping us up season 1, and progressing us season 2 in amongst the circus of Everton and point deductions. Until ownership was resolved, the managers position was never changing. It's on TFG now to progress us. It seems their preference is to get to the summer - results will quickly determine that. Id be surprised if they don't sack him if we lose to Bournemouth.

Of course I don't know an Evertonian who expects us to suddenly be challenging for Europe to even be top ten, but for the love of god this still isn't good enough. Yes credit for the forst two seasons of survival and also some credit for our defence of late, but we have badly regressed this season to the point where we can't score goals, yes quality and cutting edge is an issue of recruitment but it's also set up and coaching, are you telling me its bottom three this squad? That it showed be on the same goals scored as Southampton?

What frustrates the life out of me, beyond the results, is he does not try new things. Why not try two up front for a game or two at home? Ndiaye in the ten? Give Patterson a go? Try shaking it up. Three at thebback and two up front? Just something. Yes the wings are an issue as our full backs. But we do have optionsbin there some he never gives a minute to. And if he does he throws them in a big game and if they don't perform pulls them out again while his favourites remain the team regardless. He does the same old thing over and over aiming for a draw and mostly losing and not scoring it's mindnumbing dross, honestly.

 

[Davideeyore]

Dyche thinks scoring goals is some sort of witchcraft that nobody can coach.

Yeah what is this sorcery?
