2022/23 Sean Dyche

[Curtis]

So with the attacking options limited and Dysche's forte is defensive matters how many clean sheets have we had? Our defense has been pretty vulnerable coming from a supposed specialist in that regard

Baffled why people are focusing on defence when we have scored the least goals in the entire footballing world.

Probs because letting goals in is even worse for a team that’s scored the least in the league?

Spurs have conceded more goals than us, look at the teams around us in the league, we have conceded less.

Our problems arent in defence.

 

[Brennan]

He would of had two more points yesterday if he didn't play Micheal Keane but to fully answer your question probably I'd say maybe say 6 more total which would probably guaranteed safety. Hey I get it the squad is atrocious and we lack goals but even with the quality of players we surprisingly have better ones on the bench such as mina or coady over Keane and patterson has been mediocre but is an actual fullback and less of liability than godfrey who offers nothing offensively , the game management is garbage too. Hey I feel if Dysche came in before the world cup his ultra pragmatic style would of guaranteed a safety but he needs to be more daring otherwise relegation beckons

20 points from 14 games, which would be 54 points across a full season. Which is probably 9th or 10th. That’s the same League finish that Ancelotti achieved with Richarlison, James and DCL fit by the way. Plus Digne.

Second best goal scorer sold in Jan. No DCL for 10 of the games.

Cloud cuckoo land.

 

[allen]

Top 4 at worst. If memory serves Arsenal had the best underlying stats that year and Leicester were around Spurs and City.

Always enjoy "well the stats are garbage they wouldn't rate x" when they absolute rate them.

I know you’re from the land of grafting stats onto something to make it seem fun, but football doesn’t need it.

If you need it to enjoy the game, it’s not the game for you. Try baseball.

I studied statistics at university, by the way. So it’s not that I don’t respect them.

I just don’t respect xG.

Well when you can't score , defense becomes even more crucial like yesterday after we got the pk and if we could of defended properly we would of won even without the second goal

I disagree. We finally scored 2 goals in a game last night and didn’t grab the win because yet again we can’t keep people out. These players can’t magically turn on the style and start slotting but they have proven they can keep teams out.

People seem to have built Yerry Mina into some footballing DemiGod that can stop goals all on his own.

Of all of Dyche’s selection idiosyncrasies, I do at least understand this one.

Why play a centre back you’ll get 30 minutes out of once every 6 weeks when you can at least (in theory) forge a stable partnership.

even Yerry , coady or anyone not godfrey , Michelle keane or holgate would of prevented those goals

He's proven on the eye and the stats to be miles better than Keane. Even Coady has. It's not some wild take.

 

[Nymzee]

Not even Yerry , coady or anyone not godfrey , Michelle keane or holgate would of prevented those goals

You joking

 

[Curtis]

You joking

Poorly wrote was supposed to say not just yerry but coady and anyone not inept like three Keane, godfrey and holgate could of prevented those goals lol

Because we have conceded 18 goals in 9 games.
