2022/23 Sean Dyche

[MACCA75]

McNeil crossing the ball to DCL isn’t the answer to our problems I’m afraid. Bad move this.

 

[matty1878]

Should of had him ages ago, it was obvious to anyone he was our man

your a bad bore

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Realistically for where we are right now it's a logical, if uninspiring, appointment.

I don't think he's a sure-fire guarantee like some seem to think he is. He'll need to show he's learned lessons from his last two seasons at Burnley, when it went stale.

He'll need to do something he's never done and improve an attack.

But if he manages that then there's a good chance he can keep us up.

That being said, the possibility of attracting quality young players has just taken a massive hit, should we stay up in the summer.

Lampard, like it or not, was a huge pull for that.

But we cross that bridge when we come to it.

Lampard couldn't pull a christmas cracker man.

 

[DualityNSNO]

7th is most clubs ceilings unless they receive massive investment. For all the good football Brighton Fulham Brentford etc. play, will be amazed if any of them finish ahead of any of the top 6.

There was a time where this was very much not the case and instead of pushing on we got a DVD.

Just saying like

 

[Axlswhk]

2.5 years is madness. It must include a clause that only allow extension beyond 6months if relegation is avoided.

 

[ValBlue]

of course you did

The modern Everton fan, wrapped in a safe pair of arms and told "everything is ok"

Anyone who likes to flex on the ‘modern’ anything is a smooth brain

 

[Chewbacca]

Predicted Everton XI under Dyche with everyone fit:

Pickford
Patterson Tarkowski Keane Godfrey
Iwobi Onana Garner McNeil
Calvert-Lewin Maupay

Will run away with the Championship

 

[royalblue66]

One shot and seven bookings per game.

Can’t wait.

That’s one shot more than we are used to.

 

[ValBlue]

2.5 years is madness. It must include a clause that only allow extension beyond 6months if relegation is avoided.

Should be the absolute opposite. Break clause and a payout if we avoid relegation- not an extension. Otherwise it’s rinse and repeat. Not gonna be the case like

 

[BlueToff]

Lampard couldn't pull a christmas cracker man.

Onana came because of him. Danjuma was coming because of him, and did a runner as soon as he was sacked.

On the other side of the age gap, Tarkowski came to us over Villa because of Lampard.

He was a pull. Players want to work under a legend of the modern game.

Dyche is a better manager, so his immediate job is to get 7 wins at the very least and keep us up.

Lampard got 20 points last year, from 18 games. Dyche needs to get 23-24 from 18 games. We have four days left of the window and need to get players in.

Hate to keep using the Howe comparisons but Howe couldn’t seem to organise a defence and had the worst defensive record in his time there. He now has his Newcastle team with the best defensive record in the league. Managers can and do adapt, and thing’s definitely change with change of clubs and different circumstances.

 

[Gilbert..]

We're the most tedious team to watch and have been for the last 5 years. We'll just continue down that road.

Apart from 2017 his stats are pretty awful in the prem. And before anyone says that was with Burnley. This squad isnt far away from any burnley team he managed.

Is what it is. All about survival.

 

[Lanolin]

The problem is that Bielsa would have been (IMHO) a far better fit.

The OP can talk about toxicity all they want but the 40000 are angry with good reason, its not about the style of play or even the string of results that has enraged people - its the serial incompetence.

Or to put it another way, imagine they announced Bielsa this morning and Kenwright, DBB and the rest all quit in protest. Would anyone be feeling better or worse than they are now?

This is just complete pie in the sky stuff though isn't it. Why on earth would they have quit? I keep saying it but I just cannot for the life of me understand why people had convinced themselves that an unemployed 68 year old with no notable successes on his CV was going to be the man who bent the board to his will and made them all change and tow the line. They were happy to mess about with Carlo Ancelotti who's won more trophies than Bielsa's won games, but if there was a power struggle now Bielsa would win it and the billionaire owner would be cowed? It was never, ever, ever happening. The culture of the club comes from the owner and board, Bielsa has shown no appetite to change cultures like that at any club he's been to, he just walks away from it or pushes them too far and gets booted.

 

[maccavennie]

The thing I'm looking forward to the most is hearing Moshiri say he was always his number one choice and Kenwright and Denise say it as an exhaustive process where they were very thorough with their interviews of Ferguson, Baines, Phil Neville, Bielsa, Dyche, Baines & Neville again.

2.5 years is a bad appointment. I doubt majority of the fans have patience for 2.5 years of Dyche hoofball
