2022/23 Sean Dyche

[hktoffee]

Yes Dyche got it wrong in the last 2 matches after switching to 4-4-2 but to say he is no better than Lampard is absolutely nonsense. If we had sacked Lampard in November we would be in middle table by now.

 

[Axlswhk]

He tactics only works if the team have relentless runner with relentless pressing. Doucoure absence completely destroy our rhythm. We can’t win the ball effectively, we can’t high press effectively and we had no late runner exploiting the penalty box.

It was a disaster from front to back.

 

[Zatara]

He's personally thrown the last 2 games by playing 442 and exposing a defence including Keane.

For a so called relegation / defensive specialist...

...its possibly the two most stupid back to back tactical decisions ive seen in years.

Anywhere from 1-4pts dropped thanks to this complete turnip.

 

[gazzaa2]

Nonsense.

Lampard 20 games 15 points.

Dyche 11 games 12 points.

Lampard had done the damage.

Lampard was taking us down. A bad appointment would have sunk us, look at Southampton.

Dyche has been a bit like Lampard last season though in that he improved a team in free fall after coming in mid season but hasn't been able to pull us clear.

Agree 100%

No idea why he had to mess with a system that was working

Onana too, losing both, nightmare, yesterday i got the impression we didnt want to get stuck in, 50 50 balls going un challeneged, it was almost like they had been told dont put yourself in harms way, we cant risk it

 

[BigDuncTributeBand]

My worry is that in our last two games he has set up as a 442, anyone who has watched Everton will tell you we do not have the players in central midfield to play as a two, we really need to play 451 we get destroyed everytime we don't have three in central midfield.

The attitude was worrying yesterday as well, we finished the first half and began the second half on top and looking for a goal to take the lead. As soon as Fulham got their second goal, heads dropped immediately in the Everton ranks and we just never looked like getting back into it.

He was ragin post match when he got asked why did you start in a 442 instead of 451. “You might have noticed but we’ve got some injuries”. Didn’t mean you had to go 442 and play Godfrey at right back though or Maupay upfront, did it?

Got all the big decisions wrong yesterday and he’d rather blame the players than accept responsibility for it. Don’t like that.

Very eye opening

Did he really say that?

We have injuries in midfield, not up front lol if you have injuries in midfield but still have subs you don't then put even less of them in there.

Yep, in his four minute post match press conference before he huffed off.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Not good enough to manage Everton. If we go down he absolutely is not the man to carry out a rebuild

 

[Yarrgh]

Knows nothing about tactics, but what about hot tubs and fried chicken?

 

[matty1878]

You don’t drop two divisions with a relegation Matty

oh don’t we lol

He seems to talk a good game in lots of those podcasts and in various interviews but (even despite our limitations) I'm yet to see much evidence of it. I think the only way we stay up is going to be down to the poor performance of others rather than Dyche tactical wizardry. If we get an embargo I agree, I certainly don't think he is the guy to bring through and develop a load of youth players into the first team.

Has he got any evidence of this? I remember him talking about it once, or managing a youth side, but can't seem to find any examples outside of McNeil. Playing Simms now out of necessity but doesn't strike me as a guy to inpsire a confidence in a pathway (Price).
