2022/23 Sean Dyche

[LABlue2]

He's an upgrade on Lampard.

He now needs to earn 25 points in 18 games. It's not impossible, but it's the equivalent of a 58-point season, far better than we've done in average in the last few years. He needs support because it's a tall order given the disarray and low morale he has as a starting point.

If he keeps us up from here, he deserves to stay.

25/18 * 38 = 53 point-season

Although we will lose to both Arsenal and Liverpool so...

does anyone really care that much about the ‘style’ of football if you’re winning games? The best football is the one that puts the ball in the other teams net more often than it goes in your own regardless of how it’s achieved.

Multiple times the last few seasons we’ve seen Allison and Ederson lash goal kicks straight down the field to strikers to score. The literal definition of route one and these were two of the best teams in Europe doing it. No one in the stadiums or in the media seemed to care though when they did what effectively was just a massive hoof up the pitch.

 

[The binman chronicles]

I've given him every last bit of patience I have, but he has failed to address one issue yet. Dyche out.

We all do sadly.

The whole fanbase, bar 1 or 2, was more than happy to wave Sam out the door, despite him probably being 1 of the best at getting results we have had.

I stand corrected.

Spunked?

I think Allardyce being a very unlikeable up his own arse meff had a lot to do with it.

His first interview on the official Everton channel...looked like he'd been on the beak and pummelled 4 brasses and simply couldn't be arsed doing the interview after getting the best club job of his life.

I always thought that was because people got the ick from the way he was always drinking water from a disposable plastic cup in the pressers. Like every single one. Not seen any of our managers do it before or since. Maybe Dyche will bring it back.

 

[Swartzy]

Modern football moves incredibly fast and 5 years is a long time. A couple of the managers that you've named in Frank and Silva are currently replicating the 1 season of real PL success that Dyche had, but with more progressive football and younger teams that will have more longevity.

I'm sure he does dismiss the notion of him having a brand of football because the brand of football that he plays is one that no players or fans want to be associated with. Not only that, it's one that the game at this level has moved past.

If he was so adaptable he would have kept Burnley up after his style of play got massively found out.

I wish I could be as positive about this appointment as some on here are being but imo it's just an awful awful decision.

I think your giving him to much credit there with his style of play, I mean 'Massively found out' It's there dancing the same dance in front of your face with its own label, it certainly didn't need to be found out..

Still mate, im somebody that values results above all and I honestly didnt mind him, dont get me wrong, he was and is a massive bellend, but he knew how much we hated him and I dont think he cared, he knew he was getting sacked and taking a wedge.

But even tho he gave us results, it did make me realise that watching Aids football every week and winning wasnt really that great.

Yep, percentage football is grim. If its aggressive, fast paced or proper backs to the wall where players are chucking their bodies on the line, its great entertainment but.....

His brand of football was

Get beat = not his fault (see Spurs away where his comments were a sackable offence)

Win = I'm boss and it's all down to me

Dreadful character.

Dyche has a really tough job but the big advantage he has is the first game is at home and he will have 40k behind him no doubt in my mind.

Can you imagine if he eeks out a win or 2 points against Arsenal and the rs

If he can get a 442 team playing on the front foot, the whole of Goodison will back him.

Getting caught up in this thread, I have to laugh at some of the names being bandied about as preferable hirings. None of them would touch this club with a barge pole right now given the morons running things. They're the ones who put us in a position whereby a kid at Sheffield United is looking at us after we make an offer and going "nah."
People on here are banging on about the players Dyche will try to sign, as if they know. He had naff all to spend at Burnley -- ergo, he couldn't buy the talent he likely would have preferred -- and still kept them in the Premiership years longer than they should have been, so he's got to have something in his locker.
People also bang on about his style of play, which shows a short memory -- the season we finished fourth, we scored only 45 goals, more than only seven other teams, including such noted onion bag stuffers as Charlton, Birmingham, Portsmouth and Norwich. We scraped out EIGHT 1-0 wins, won 18 all told and still finished with a minus-1 goal difference. That was down to the 7-0 embarrassment at Arsenal, sure, but when you take that away, it still meant one thing -- we weren't playing a lot of stylish, free-flowing football; rather, we were a difficult side to beat. And I don't think anyone was moaning about that at the time.
So basically, all I'm saying is if he makes us harder to beat, we have a better chance of staying up then we would playing like 70s Brazil but losing 5-4 all the time. Our current situation took years in the making; it's not going to be solved overnight.

Give this man the talking sense medal.

A year ago some would have been saying Howe was beneath us. No guarantees with Dyche but needs to be given time.
