Beautiful whatabout in that first sentence, what about if we'd won 2 or 3 along those run of 14 instead of drawing, we'd be safe and sound already instead of crapping bricks about Luton potentially winning.So if we’d not beaten Forest but had beaten one of the teams in the middle of that four month period would that make things any better? If we’d beaten Luton at home but lost to Brentford West Ham or Palace away would everyone feel better? If it had been 2-0 to Chelsea rather than 6 would it make a blind bit of difference?
The only defining metric that matters for a manager is points per game and what that means to the league table.
% games without a win, number of consecutive games without a win, XG, they’re all indicators but ultimately they are not the stat to get hung up on. A manager could draw every single league game, and break every record known for not winning yet would still survive in the PL because of points gained. We stayed up last season because whilst other teams around us were losing loads in a row and getting an infrequent win, we were drawing games avoiding defeat to add to infrequent wins.
Dyche’s ppg with us is enough to keep us up most seasons. Until the Everton owners change the remit of the club that is the job Dyche is being paid to do.
Dyche is a slug, with players he's a slug, without players he's a slug, with "his own" squad he's an even bigger slimier slug.
