Hahahaha, we're now using Andros Townsend as an excuse for Dyche.
What a time to be alive.
This is funny, but sort of overlooked the point made.
I do agree Dyche's football isn't the future of Everton - and I should add I'm not a regular at the ground suffering this week in and out.
- I say that because watching us week in and out playing like that must hurt.
- I can't imagine taking my son to this for all the cost too, so it's also not good in the long term to just 'survive' like this
- I do think relegation makes things worse, albeit possibly not for potential buyers, which is something I hate to acknowledge that could worsen our short and mid-term existence (next 2-5 seasons)
So the
BRUTAL reality is Dyche's kept up a team I believe defo was relegation bound under previous managers (Lamps, Rafael etc), in the manner did Alladyce did and was also pilloried mostly by fans. This is because of style of play in Dyche's case his association to the general plight of the club - BUT most of which was caused by Koeman, Walsh, Mosh and that era of spending and loss of culture / mentality in the squad - and all the quick fixes made since that quickly burned out.
What must it be like trying to encourage young lads to put a shift in with the likes Dele Alli coasting around on huge page packets doing nothing for us?
We're still prem. Palace, Ipswich, Saints, Wolves and possibly Forest, Leicester will all be in it with us.
Dyche is playing with that broken squad of bits and pieces, seeing out the sh*t contracts. We've become slow starters, and we lack physicality, we have ageing players, and introducing new lads low on experience and confidence to resolve that.
It's horrible, it's not Dyche's fault, he's fixing it. We will stay up.
I'm not a Dyche fan as such, and tactics vs Bournemouth cost us 3 points when this furore over his position would be less of a distraction.
