2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

OneTrueLegend said:
This report that TFG are going to wait until March to sack Dyche is really concerning, hopefully its BS. If we wait this long we could be as good as down with this guy in charge.

The Friedkin Group now give Sean Dyche date he needs to turn Everton around by or he faces the sack

A date has been given

Burnley didn't act until it was too late - April, four points from safety. They managed to get points after that but still got relegated. Are TFG going to risk that happening again?

To control it yeah. To turn and progress or keep it at this level...it's painful when you see Doucoure get the ball, finally trap it then look completely lost.

Dom for the most part is brain-dead and thinks he can outrun defenders or makes the wrong decisions with the ball. It's why he's dropped him for Broja who's better on the ball...now he's died.

It's different when McNeil is in there as there's some link up and he's more composed. And yes, Dyche should play Ndiaye instead of Doucoure while he's out. But then...what effective options are outwide?

Dyche needs to step up and improve massively in the approach play yes. He and anyone else also needs a player in January to boost it.

Doucoure's not a footballer, he's a teacher's pet who used to run a lot and was never technically gifted.

Dom wasn't braindead up until Dyche, hilariously, and he played well enough to merit his starting place and score a few goals; you know, when we played with a striker in mind.

Ndiaye is not an effective option out wide - he's a technically gifted wide forward who we're asking to defend for most of the game while we boot it upfield to a donkey who has to play, which is actually braindead.

McNeil - Ndiaye - Lindstrom/Harrison/Young

The two wingers can even swap wings and try to cut infield, but then we'd have to have the unthinkable - a full back that pushes further than the back 4 more than once a game. It will overload either wing and present opportunities to cross and opportunities for someone to get to the end of those crosses.

Moot points/opinions anyway sadly, as Wormeater is staying for the next few humiliations.

Dom isn't the same since his injuries, Dyche got him fit again for not forcing him to play, but his style probably is the nail of the coffin. Not fair to single out any of them, DCL for missing too many big chances (last season, butbarely this season apart from Ipswich), and Dyche for his often for a striker bad play style.

Still I think Wood is a better footballer and more natural finisher, but DCL would have more goals under Nuno.

RE fullbacks...they do get forward (not regularly like). They just produce absolute poop for the most part. See the Forest and Brentford games where every cross was under or over hit.

And attacking fullbacks assisting goals is moving away from the game. Ashley Young (3) and Trent Lad (4) are the only 2 right backs in the league with 2 or more assists (I believe).

They have the same number of big chances missed and total shots, but quality of chance isn't/cannot be accounted for anywhere on those and I remember seeing Wood basically free/open a lot more than DCL. Either way, Dom is in garbage form, I'm not questioning that, but he's definitely scoring more for a team that plays actual football.

We just don't play to create good chances for anyone, regardless of who they are. Broja won't be the answer, he's just a different wrong option in a way.

Trent lad had 5 last year as well - it's about having the options and offering the danger to pull players away, but this happens with movement.

The 2 games you mentioned are probably the only two where venturing forward happened more than twice. We don't overload anything down either side or in the box, so it's a floater to DCL/Beto/Broja and usually no one else, and we're hoping for him to score there. We don't do crossing to a dangerous area, this is a schoolyard cross to anywhere in the box.

This season no doubt, we are far from last season and where we should be in this term and I said DCL would have had more goals in almost any other teams apart from Souton probably.

I think you forgive a striker more, if he has 12/13 goals than when he hits 7/8 goals.

In the end, we both know strikers are messured at goals.

Reading the stats, the 9 missed chances of DCL probably come from 2-3 games, one of that was Ipswich. It's not as devided as in the last few years, and he barely had good chances as Everton as a whole team in the last few weeks.
