2023/24 Sean Dyche

Status
Not open for further replies.
To stabilise the club. He does have a ceiling (most managers outside the elite do) but I don’t think we’re hitting up against it yet.

He’s got credit in the bank with me for what he did last season, we were in a horrible situation with injuries and player attitude and confidence at a low. The performances against Arsenal Brighton Brentford were good and we showed character against Spurs Chelsea Wolves Bournemouth to ultimately stay up.

This season hasn’t started well points wise but I’m not watching us play like we were during the worst periods of Benitez and Lampard when the players just looked like they wanted the manager out.

I’d like to think Dyche can have us safe this season comfortably enough and it’s another year of FFP losses flushed out, players who don’t want to be here gone, and improvement in the squad value and attitude.
This reflects my view, and the squad issues he inherited were severe, not fixable in a single window even with cash, never mind on a wing and a prayer.

Agree. His fanbase have no excuses left if we don’t improve
 
Out of interest iv had a quick look at your board with the saga that is unfolding. I do not understand why at the moment any Everton fan would want to sack Sean Dyche.

As a big club you have had a horror show for the last 6 years or so and by the grace of God you haven’t been relegated. You have got massive amounts of Dead wood on your payroll, FFP issues, players not wanting to be there. Any Everton fan not wanting a stable ship and a manager to clear the club of wrong ens over the next few years is deluded. From the outside looking in Relegation to the championship will not be a pretty site on the clubs finances.

Sean Dyches teams are generally slow starters but improve the second half of seasons

Hope he sorts you out. He is a good man and the right man to sort out your mess
 
He needs to quickly get over the thinking that we have been unlucky every game and should be sat on 9 points or whatever.

Yes we have had more chances in most of the games, but that's football, if we defended better we might have got more points despite our attackers being garbage.

The midfield is set up horribly.

Square pegs in round holes every week.

These aren't signs of bad luck, these are just poor management.

I hope he turns it around,.because despite me really disliking the feller, I dislike being in a relegation battle every season, I can't do it for a 3rd straight year
 

See he reckons that, with the injuries back, the squad overall becomes more 'rounded' in terms of it's balance.

If that's the case, then we should expect to see further improvement in performances & results..
Yes, as long as they all stay fit. Its a small squad now that wont react well to injury prone players.
I think we are making good progress, Sean seam to be working well with Thelwell to clear out the deadwood and the inherited financial mess with wages etc. Im still feeling positive based on some of our PL performances and feel the points will build OK.

Not scoring I got. It's conceding is the worry for me, did not expect that. And that Villa performance was so repetitive of what has been wrong on the pitch before he came, I'd hoped that had been eradicated.

It's just convenient excuses; he's rubbish and he knows it.

He will take us down this season.

He’s extremely tactically inept

I still think other than Burnley fans no one really appreciates what he did for your club. Also his brand of football was being further called into question after the way Kompany had Burnley playing last season in the Championship, it has not worked out quite as well so far in the Premiership.

Even Carlo Ancelotti struggled to get a tune out of this side towards the end of his tenure and the squad has not improved since then, so the evidence suggests that any manger would find it challenging with this squad. Dyche has stepped up to the plate to try and sort it out in conditions most managers would run a mile from or come for the ££££ knowing that if it didn't work out they could leave with a healthy pay off.

How this possible when it’s a totally different team

Because a lot of people on this forum live in a delusional world where the only barrier to our success is the hiring of the right young hipster manager who will somehow take a group of bottom half players and have them playing top teams off the park home and away on a consistent basis making light of the gaping disparity in resources in a way that no other manager in PL history has done on a consistent basis.

To add to this we’ll get a director of football who will just ignore Everton’s financial regulations position and stock the team with four top quality strikers who are proven scorers of double figures in the PL (just in case the first three get injured of course which should be expected and planned for by the manager and the DOF because it happens everywhere apparently). Naturally the other three top strikers are happy to join a bottom half team to sit on the bench behind the first choice. This principle applies for all positions naturally and we are expected to maintain this top level form even if a majority of our best players are injured.

We’re expected to dominate any PL team who is not in the top 6, even on their own patch, even if we have significant injuries, by virtue of the fact our name is Everton and everyone else is crap. When it comes to the top 6 we’re also expected to beat them away as well despite the significant difference in quality between the teams. If anyone beats us at home regardless of the circumstances it’s an absolute disgrace and a sackable offence.

We have to play attacking football with all moves coming through the fullbacks, but both fullbacks must also be rock solid defensively, the keeper should be great at distribution and shot stopping but if he’s called Pickford this doesn’t count and any other keeper would be preferable regardless of their ability. The strikers and attacking players should be absolutely top quality and linked with top clubs but obviously chose Everton turning down CL football and higher wages.

All our scouting should focus on leagues outside of the PL (apart from the SPL of course) but all arrivals should be risk free and guaranteed to perform in the PL. We have to buy youth players that will develop but we also don’t want them to develop in our first team because they might make mistakes. We don’t want cast offs from top clubs, even if they’re good players, but all signings should have a pedigree and have played at a top level without actually of course ever have played at a top level. We don’t want to scrabble around for cheap loans but simultaneously the manager should use the loan market. We also want to buy in players to replace the ones we sell before we sell them but equally if the DOF sells any players at the end of the window he has to buy replacements even if he already brought them in beforehand.

The manager has to play young players, but the good young players that he does play don’t count. Also if a young player has arrived for big money and is an ‘obvious’ talent that anyone could have bought then this does not count as investing in youth. The DOF shouldn’t leave any gaps in the squad for promising youth players like Dobbin and Branthwaite though in case they’re crap so should have bought the promising youth player from Leeds even though he was overpriced. Basically the manager should play youth players more but the ones we’ve bought don’t count, not any from Scotland, and no academy players.

We should operate more like Brighton who buy low and sell their best players, but without actually selling any of our best players of course because we don’t want to be a selling club. We should equally though sell players at the peak of their value like Brighton and Brentford do but Richarlison Gordon Digne Stones Lukaku Barkley Gueye don’t count.



Any manager and DOF who cannot deliver all of the above, immediately, needs to gtfo out of the club
