2022/23 Sean Dyche

[Deulofeumygod]

Compared his lack of sub making to Pep’s.

Lol

If he keeps us up, it's the biggest individual managerial achievement of any manager since Moyes finished 4th.

It would be outrageous to sack him.

I get reservations over whether he's the right man for a total rebuild - but that total rebuild isn't occurring anytime soon and certainly not prior Bramley Moore opening.

What we need is to avoid collapse, and this team is still relegation fodder.

He'd still rebuild with a budget of a tenner and box of corn flakes.

It's be a functional side. Would be able to get the upper tier broken players too

I actually think he’s a load better than the team position is maybe showing. Are any of those teams in and around us winning 5-1 at Brighton? Coming back against Spurs being a man down (and we absolutely put the pedal down in that period even before Moura got a red). We could have been 4 up in the first half against Arsenal who were top of the league at the time.

They’re not normal things for a team low on confidence near the bottom of the league. They don’t just happen because we ‘had a go’ or ‘Spurs were crap’ or ‘Brighton were tired’. They happen because of Dyche’s tactical set up and game plan. We’ve had two of our best away performances in ages in the last two games with some of the worst players we’ve had in the PL.

He’s now averaging over a point per game with THIS group of players (would probably be far higher if he’d ditched Keane earlier). Over a full season that’s 40 points and that’s without having a capable striking option for most of the season.

Now imagine we give him a full preseason, get someone to keep Keane out the team, get him some decent attacking players to compliment and replace Calvert Lewin when he’s out. Do you think he has us anywhere near relegation trouble? No.

He’s revitalised McNeill, he’s got Doucoure in his best position, he’s got Calvert Lewin fully fit playing probably the most compete game I’ve seen since his spell under Ancelotti, Garner is playing well, Pickford is playing well, Tarkowski is playing well, he’s reintegrating Patterson. Players are improving under him. Set piece defence seems to have improved, we’re looking more dangerous on offensive set pieces too.

He’s also not scared to make big decisions (regardless of whether they work out). He moved Iwobi out wide, dropped Coady, benched Gray, dropped Onana our marquee signing, now he’s dropped Keane.

I just think we need to back him in the summer to get rid of who he wants out and get in extra firepower because I think he could actually do a very good job for us and we could see similar wins to what we saw at Brighton a bit more regularly.

Pin this if we stay up when it's summer

No, not anymore, we have done that to death and it has got us absolutely nowhere over the years.

I was comparing to what Dyche said when he was working at Burnley. Net spend of £30mill over 5 years or something where he said that he was getting free players, players out of favour, taking a chance on them and making them work cos he had no choice.

In the past we've shopped the wrong whoopsie yellow stickered items at Waitrose.

Dyche should be able to pick the better ones.

 

[davek]

This doesn't even tell the whole story. Don't forget that those last few games under Lampard were mainly defeats to relegation rivals. A majority of games under Dyche have been against top half teams.

15 games, 10 top half teams.

 

[davek]

5 points more than our relegation rivals who all had better attacking options than us to begin with and then significantly added in January whilst we sold Gordon.

Dyche has done a brilliant job upto this point. Just a couple of positive results to go.

He's adapted to that fantastically well. No grumbling, just got the team all working hard to get on the scoresheet, or at least make things happen in the opposition third.

Big Kev Thelwell will use his extensive contacts….

Adama Traore and 500 million cubic litres of sunflower oil incoming.

Can the sunflower oil play left back?

Won’t be any left to play lb once big adama has lubed himself up mate.

Is it wrong that I am slightly aroused right now?

Whatever floats your bicep brother.

 

[UndercoverClaret]

Dyche will be chomping at the bit to get Dele Alli firing again.

He will at least give it a go - his man management skill is what every past player of his says what stands him out from other managers

Be a tall order but he could be back playing in that spot that Doucoure is playing in rn as a sort of ‘ball winning number 10’

 

[Jimishorts]

Best man for the job imo.

 

[JimEFC]

My dad says we should have got Dyche at the time we got Benitez, and all would have been well.
He still lives in that parallel universe where we reach all the cup finals
