2022/23 Sean Dyche

[ParkhallToffee]

I think every player should be keen to take part, especially when it's anonymous

Exactly. You have a new manager who wants to do well, why wouldn't you support that with some feedback?

Seems pretty poor if they couldn't be arsed.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder how Lampard didn't manage to get a result at West Ham. Everyone went there, played defensively, countered them and won. For some reason we tried to play ball against them and they did that to us. Ridiculously short sighted from Lampard.

Like many others,I like Lampard but as previously indicaated, his refusal to change tactics to align with the abilities of the team, led to his inevitable demise.

Obviously, we haven't kicked a ball yet under him. But from the noises he's been making he'll work tactics and formations around player ability. Lampard had vision, and with better players he might have done better here. But at the end of the day, when you have a squad that makes Iwobi look good you're going to be in trouble playing it out from the back.

Thought his comments about 'Kev' n the chairman constantly being on the phones late into the night ' I know cos I saw them ' was a bit bizarre, as he left FF on Tuesday evening before the window had shut ?

and they were on the phone to each other.

I read it in Dom King's article about Dyche. He gave out questions for players to answer anonymously but 2 players didn't respond.

Dyche seeks to get to root of problems at Everton with questionnaire

DOMINIC KING: As Dyche was formally presented as the latest Everton manager, he did his best to address the topics that have led to a range of uncomfortable headlines for the beleaguered club.

His first official day was Monday and, after introducing himself to the squad, Dyche handed out a piece of paper to them all with three simple questions. All answers were kept anonymous and he received replies from all bar two players.

it's just a work survey, quite a good turn out if only two didn't hand it back in

At least Moyes was given a knife, he's been handed a spud gun.

 

[TyphooToffee]

I know many will say he's been told what to say but SD is not going to be anyone's mouthpiece in my opinion and it's refreshing to hear what he has to say about potential signings, especially after seeing that Ayew has joined the Forest pile

I wonder if not making the decision to replace Lampard 5 games earlier will be the undoing of this season.

Those Bournemouth results were abysmal, and could have been the end. Wolves should have been.

Granted we got the unexpected point vs city but bring in a new coach then, have that “free hit” game under Tait or Baines with Dyche in the stands about to sign. Probably get beat 2 or 3, and be a point worse off,

But…

Does a Dyche team then get battered by Brighton at home?

Ignore United in the cup, not a priority and it only made us feel in any way good because of just how bad we felt.

I don’t think a Dyche Everton team loses at home to Southampton or away to this current West Ham.

Maybe we’re 5 points better off, net. Maybe 7. Maybe only 1 or 2, but we’re not where we are, and our relegation rivals haven’t been buoyed by beating us either.

Lampard was never up to the job. Credit he was around when we had good times at the very end of last season but as a coach, a tactician and a motivator of men, he’s just not it.

Deciding that 5 games earlier could’ve been a hell of a difference.

Just a young Moyes.

Maybe it's what we need for a few seasons.

Great comparison, a real pragmatist with more youth than Moyes now and also more experience than when Moyes took over. I think he will get clean sheets and work from there. If he can get 10 clean sheets til the season end. Even our shot shy attack could get 7, 1-0 wins.

Dyche asked the players what has gone wrong! Easy to answer. Because they are crap at playing football! A bunch of no hopers disguising as football players.

I think that above all else Sean Dyche will embarrass those who are in charge of the club, but ruining it, with his honesty because they don’t know what honesty is and certainly never used it when dealing with us fans.

We’re on the march with Dychey’s army and staying in the premier league.

It could definitely be fatal for us to not have made that decision sooner. And this was said at the time by many people on here.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Set up for failure by the board. No chance he keeps us up. No manager could with this appalling squad we have.

 

[Papa Shango]

Dyche asked the players what has gone wrong! Easy to answer. Because they are crap at playing football! A bunch of no hopers disguising as football players.

I dunno about that, I think other than the top clubs most players in the premier league are of a somewhat similar standard. Most of them are comfortably top flight players.

The issue we have had for a long time is that we have too many gaps in the squad with no adequate replacements and that we have not built on players strengths or hid players weaknesses. I am hoping that is what Dyche is good at.

We have just gone half a season playing DCL and Maupay in the same role without any changes in how we set up. Even just a cursory glance at each player physically should be enough to tell a manager that wont work.

Time will tell, give him a chance to put some fight into these players and a plan because they‘ve definitely been playing without one under Frank these last few months.
