2022/23 Sean Dyche

[degsy]

Bielsa is notorious for leaving clubs after a short spell. Not the safest bet for a long term option.

How many have we been through again?? 6? 7?
He was at leeds (dirty, dirty, leeds) for nearly 4yrs...that enough for a Premier League Long Service medal these days...as 13 managers can attest to

hope he doesn’t keep picking his favourites as well.

Was notorious for this at Burnley. They'd have talent and rarely play it, much to the frustration of Claret fans. One of the most egregious examples was Matej Vydra - a fine player in his day, but criminally under-utilised.

 

[teppic]

I dont think Dyche is a good manager at all

But couldn't agree more on your middle paragraph

Yes, not in my top 20 choices either, but after sacking Lampard it was thin pickings for who was to come in.

Also for his tactics, defend, defend, try to grab a goal and hang on.

Really don’t get the two keepers and no mills or any other youngster on the bench yesterday - frustrating.

He’s playing the cards he’s dealt with the injuries and suspensions, I get that, but I’m sick of wasters like Holgate getting another start when we all know what they are and aren’t capable of - hope he doesn’t keep picking his favourites as well.

I’d say this is one of the biggest black marks against keeping him if we go down.

He has made it clear (deliberately binning Simms out, not liking Patterson, not even benching Mills etc) that we won’t be building a sustainable team built around young players.

I wasn’t aware of that - hate managers that just pick favourites and not any youth prospects.

While I'm generally in favour of Dyche, I don't think it's even that. Rather, I suspect he prefers (perhaps better put as desires) a certain type of player.

What this is meaning is that we're getting the likes of Godfrey and Holgate shoe-horned into positions where they're neither comfortable nor effective.

I get it - stick with what you know - but as I've said before it's meaning our full backs are offering little going forward, and we're not defensively great.

Now we're not blessed with depth at all, however look at what happens with substitutions (late on and predictable) to see that Dyche sticks to a plan.

 

[Swartzy]

It's why Tarkowski's comments after the game wound me up. Whole team is set up to protect against our defensive vulnerabilities. Acting as though we don't have problems at the back when we've only just conceded 3 goals at home to Fulham.

I think your wrong on Tarks comments, I think he's been holding them back in all bloody season. All the work is put on our defence, time after time throughout a game. We are not and have not been doing enough going forward to keep possession for any amount of time to even create a chance before a break is back on and reliance put straight back on to the defence. the bloke is blowing out his backside after 10mins cos they never get a breather, bailing out sloppy attacking errors. We have no game-plan once we cross the halfway line. it's like they've never played with each other before.

We finally started to find a system that helped those failures with Doucs moving higher up and Gray playing centrally and ( Albeit doucs red card ) Dyche went and changed the system for no reason.
And we get schooled by utd and done at home by Fulham.

So other then possibly now causing a Rif in the dressing room then what he said was deserved. ( and Dyche maybe should take note of it too )

The entire team is set up to score from set pieces and keep as many players behind the ball as possible…

We need more from the manager and midfield.

Remember when Everton fans didn't want Eddie Howe.....

Eddie Howe would have failed here like every other manager.

The club is set up to make them fail. The greatest manager in the world got us 10th for christs sake.

Yeah but he wasn't interested, pre Moshiri we had no problem getting regular top 8, but we had the right man then.
Still a valid point, a lot of Everton fans thought he wasn't good enough for us.

I think it is lazy to say he wasn’t interested. I think it is much more likely the club reneged on spending promises and Carlo was a big enough manager to tell them where to go.

I think Howe will be a mystery for a while. Can see him getting the sack next season and don’t think there are many clubs he could have gone to and been as successful as he has at Newcastle.

Yeah they will get delusional and expect to walk the title

They will expect a big name at the first few bad results next season.
