Nothing to do with the 3 barely capable managers that should have been nowhere near this club, always the players. Silly comment as it is literally the managers job to keep them motivated and engaged... They don`t just down tools for no reason, the fans know he is outdated, what must the players feel like being put through the ringer to be "Dyche Fit" and not allowed to play football or get forward.
Why do you think the players were still happy with Lampard despite the results still not being there, because they were allowed to play football with the actual ball. Totally opposite to now, previous 3 managers have all been the wrong choice, that is the issue.
I think thats a pretty reactionary view mate, with a strategic and analytical eye, your are looking at cycles, cultures and repetitive factors.
I’d propose the players or a certain core, simple don’t have the attitude, desire or mentality to compete during adversity to serve this club presently - it happens year in year out, yet somehow it’s always a mangagers fault. I’ve no issue with lads on here questioning a manager - in fact I’m not even defending Dyche here, but I don’t think he’s particularly wrong given what we’ve posted performence wise the last three years, nor based on the last two performances. Even if Dyche goes are we just back here questioning another manager next year, the cycle is evident to everyone and the evidence is there that it is massively undermining. Simply put the last two performences are everything i describe, there is a shrinking culture amongst the players.
In a way I don’t really mind if he has lost part of the dressing room, whether we are successful or not is staying up this season - it’s a dressing room or a cohort I’d like to loose myself as opposed to vice versa. I think he’s right and honest in calling it out.
I agree with him and I won’t be disagreeing him, calling out what we’ve seen that last two games - it’s not acceptable and it’s not tactical either, it’s base desire and fight. He was right two seasons ago saying we didn’t have the confidence to win games when at Burnley. It’s needs rooting, like when Ferguson went in to Utd and got rid of the likes or McGrath and Whiteside and changed the culture - that’s what’s needed here. They look like players feeling sorry for themselves the last two games - they can get lost - it’s not what we need.
The players have been startled earwigs the last two games, I can accept a lack of quality, but I will not accept a lack of fight or desire, that’s basic and a professional competence. Too many, too comfortable here, know what we have limited resources so they are safe or have an eye on move away. It’s happened under to many mangers for the blame to be payed squarely there
As for Dyche I think he’s saying what I’m personally thinking and he’s not wrong, it needs rooting and has done for a long, long time.
