2023/24 Sean Dyche

[Goat]

Why?

You're not the first person to think so - yet no one has given me a compelling argument against giving it a go..

Heres a compelling argument.

You are playing a bog-standard fullback at CB in the hardest league in the world, why would you do that, why would we do that?

Gomes essentially at left back? Our back 3 always becomes a back 5 after about a minute.

Edit - turned my phone to landscape now.

McNeil & Myko, effectively

Mykolenko? he's been one of our best players this season defensively no?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Back 3 + Everton = no

Why not? We've been reasonably successful with it before.. even as recently as our last good run in December.

 

[MACCA75]

McNeil & Myko, effectively

Ah my phone had put McNeil as number 10 lol

The most defensively minded manager in world football playing a back 5 is not a good idea.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

The most defensively minded manager in world football playing a back 5 is not a good idea.

It's a back 3 mate..

A 'back 5' is only a 'back 5' when we're defending..

 

[Delargeinho]

The most defensively minded manager in world football playing a back 5 is not a good idea.

Well you haven't seen Chris Wilder then, that's Dyche even more defensively and plays that formation the majority. Or like Zat said Simeone to switch from 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 to 3-5-2/5-3-2 and I'm worried about more comparisons incoming.

 

[jazzy]

That interview on sky and the aftermath on here was absolutely magical.

We would have been in the brown stuff with Vitor but the ride would have been hilarious.

We are in the same brown stuff with Dyche but the ride has been tedious and as tiresome as kids saying "are we nearly there yet?"

 

[jazzy]

It's a back 3 mate..

A 'back 5' is only a 'back 5' when we're defending..

Not under Sean it's not

 

[Nymzee]

Why not? We've been reasonably successful with it before.. even as recently as our last good run in December.

From a quick glance, this year we've won twice with it (Villa and Burnley) and then got humped by Wolves trying it.

The Wolves game was just crap all-round. No one turned up that day regardless of the formation..

 

[Nymzee]

The Wolves game was just crap all-round. No one turned up that day regardless of the formation..

Can't you just say the opposite about the other games though?

 

[Goat]

It's a back 3 mate..

A 'back 5' is only a 'back 5' when we're defending..

We don't have problems defending, so I'm not sure how adding another defender helps us attack. Cos it's a back 5.
