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

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
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

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
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.
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?

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.

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

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

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.
