2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

ToffeeTim said:
There has been an enormous regression between how we've played this year compared with last year

At times last year, the issue was abysmal finishing and missing lots of clear cut chances. This season, we can barely create a chance and the tactics from the manager mean that we won't create chances because no one is going forward. We have had about 6 shots on target in 5 games. Pickford makes more saves than that pretty much every game.

I have never supported the way Dyche played but at times last year there was some purpose to what we tried to do, and it was effective at times. This season the football has been significantly worse and it's not effective at all. I have no idea at all what he is trying to do.

And at the end of the day, it's still a results business. 3 wins in half a season is unacceptable under any manager with any style of play. But add in the unwatchable football and the lack of any plan, and it makes absolutely no sense to retain him as manager. I will never accept any Everton manager who goes onto a football field with no plan how to score a goal, never mind win a football match.

There is no way that a new manager comes in and does worse. This is the most unwatchable top flight football I've ever seen and it's broke me to the point I can't and refuse to watch it anymore.

It’s the most unwatchable top flight football anyone has seen for a long time, let alone us.

Even Gary Lineker on Match of the Day was alluding to the same.

Todays Echo article pretty much says the same too.

Look, I don't like the fella myself, but his record in the last 7-8 games of a season speaks for itself. He could've eked out another 3-4 wins out of them in that time to give them a fighting chance that season.

Obviously we'll never know, but under Jackson they looked completely beaten by the time that season ended.

So Jackson got 3 wins and dyche may yes may have got 3 or 4 wins 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But but but honest I hate the guy and I’m not defending him 🤣

I think your right, but I think there's certain games where we can have a far more aggressive attitude in how we are set up, how we play and in turn the % of winning the odd game increases.

If Ndiaye is working 20 yards away from the opposition box, instead of 30 yards away from his own, I think we'll see chances created. Maybe go 3 at the back and bring O'Brien into the fold, play 2 up top.

After such a limp display against Forest where he blamed the whole team not doing what he asked, he basically sent out the same side from the 2nd half against Bournemouth. That just screamed of again saying "yep same again lads".

I'm not saying he has an abundance of options and I think the squad is full of crap. But he's continuing to play players who are having a massive detrimental effect and it really does look like he sets up regardless of opposition to just shut up shop and try and win off a set piece.

I just don't think that's acceptable for another 19 games and I don't think we'll get enough wins under this current style and current manager

So, it is a risk? Yep. More it's more of a risk if we keep a manager who simply looks like he's completely checked out already and doesn't seem to have strong characters around him who are willing to tell him its simply not working, whatever it is he thinks he's trying to do.

That's all good and well, but I like my viewpoints blindingly one sided without any acceptance of nuance thank you very much.
