2022/23 Sean Dyche

[davek]

I bloody hope not because he's absolutely woeful.

His goal record is terrible in England for sure. However, 1:2 goal scorer in Germany and Holland.

 

[maccavennie]

Bet he wears shin pads on the beach.

I reckon he wakes his kids up in the morning with a referees whistle instead of an alarm clock

 

[hashbike]

I was a sceptic but he’s been a miracle worker. Points per game roughly 50% better than Lampard with arguably a tougher run of games.

Xg stats under Lampard were:
xG For: 20.23 (17th)
xG Against: 36.86 (19th)

Under Dyche:
Xg for: 24.06
Xg against: 27.71

I expect a full season under Dyche will comfortably get us high 40 /low 50 points and I’m happy signing up for that

 

[arch stanton]

Hand him two forwards and we'll see a different Everton.

Again yesterday we saw how our attacks fizzled out for the want of a mobile forward.

This, even with a returning DCL who didnt score but did stuff that a proper forward does, we looked a different side. Lets face it, we aren't signing the next Haaland, more like the next (or current) Danny Ings but it would be an improvement on no striker

 

[efcste97]

Anyone who wants him gone is a Sadist, pretty confident he will pick up enough points to keep us up next season

 

[maccavennie]

Crap leagues though Dave. How many times have we seen strikers slot for fun. His movement is dreadful, his finishing is dreadful, his surname is dreadful.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

The right man for the job.

It's all very well saying "go and get so-and-so in", but said so-and-so may not be a good fit. Sean Dyche is one thing we have at the moment that isn't broken.

I can't think of who I'd want to replace him who we could actually get

Postecogelu is the only name I could think of, and why would he give up Champions League football for us?

 

[steven]

A new right back, a new left back and a new striker and we’d instantly look a much better side. Not having two modern full backs who can do both sides of the roles competently has really hindered us.

I think there’ll be a lot of movement in the summer - can see Onana going as the big sale and several squad players being moved on.

Dyche will have a clear idea what he wants - don’t think it’s going to be revolutionary football but effective and will get us enough points on the board to be safe before the run in.

 

[Groucho]

You cant look at things in isolation. He walked into a toxic environment, the club at civil war, fans chasing players down the road, a club that had just sold and was in the process of selling their best players, without replacing any of them, a club getting cut adrift on 15 points in the relegation zone, with a performance level of consistent awful. The club was a skip fire when he took over. Hes been magnificent and never once, got too high or too low, hes radiated confidence and fighting spirit - but also been realistic, he doesn't spoof, hes honest and authentic, hes backed himself, hes backed his methods to get the job done at a big club - in one of the most adverse circumstances in the clubs history and you know what - he did it.

Proper football manger.

If we still had rep I'd give you all of mine for this

I think Dyche will be lookign to play two up front ASAP.

Target man and one who plays off him.

Would he move for Weghorst again? He did bring him to Burnely.

I've long said two up top will work even today.

Christ, even (a fit) DCL and Keane up front would've done more than a lone Maupay, Rondon or Turkish Hairlines.

 

[Carlito]

I wouldn't keep him on, but I expect the club is happy enough.

I agree, dependent on some strengthening of the squad. Let's not be looking fir miracles here....just a degree of comfort we haven't had for the past two seasons

 

[Chewbacca]

When you read that in print you say to yourself how has this club managed to escape that unscathed

I don’t feel unscathed

 

[davek]

I'm not sold on him myself. Dyche likes these sorts though. Weghorst, Wood with a more mobile attacker playing off: Ings, Barnes etc.

If not Weghorst then someone like that.

I went out and celebrated last night, was with a couple of mates who were Leeds fans and they werent to downcast they had done their grieving a couple of weeks back.

When we were taking it all apart, we contrasted the difference in approach between Allardyche and Dyche, Dyche came in and even though we were awful - he immediately went about setting a tone and a standard - we were all bereft after the window closed and bought no one in - it was standard thinking to think that was it - we were relegated. What did Dyche do - he projected the narrative that there was more quality in this squad then they were showing, he dug deep into the well of this squad and he found players, he found performances, he found fight, he found leadership and found character. He was battered by key injuries - he found systems, he found varying formations, he found plan B's. Brilliant management. He got the best and probably more out of what this squad could offer.

Contrast that with Allardyche, who from the start at Leeds profiled himself as a genius - better then Pep etc who was up against it with a huge lack of quality, totally undermining that Leeds squad. Two games in after WHU he threw them all under a bus, publicly calling them all out - for want of a better words, rubbish. He loved the attention - it was all about him.

Lets not forget at one stage Allardyce was England manager, before he torpedoed himself.

My point is you have to look beyond stereotypes with Dyche, you have to look beyond the media profile you've been fed, of hard to beat defensive Burnley and look at what you just witnessed, what was achieved in the limits and skip fire of circumstances he was handed and the skills the man implemented, in what was the popular opinion a hopeless cause.

We're very lucky to have him - the consensus at the end of last night, the difference in staying up and going down amongst teams last night - who were equally as bad as each other was Everton bringing in Dyche.

If he wasn't here, in Aug - because Everton are morons - he wouldn't be out of work long.
