2023/24 Sean Dyche

[siddharth]

Even a broken clock is at least twice right, quite simply his mantra of the blame for trouble and claim for acclaim shows bad tendencies.
If we had a two-year problem, we merely had a slight bounce before our inevitable demise. Anyway, good that the circus is out of town for at least a week more.

@chicoazul I think a poll investigating "which fans bring Dyche most joy?" is needed. Options:

The diehard ones he speaks to daily
The internet fans
The matchday fans
None of THE FANS

Sir please set this poll up and in Ale House so no one gets banned as we wouldn’t like that.

Dyche is a pragmatist perhaps Everton need right now.

Na, not harsh at all.

Crazy take this. Arteta played the best football of his career wide right for us and Lescott was fantastic at left back.

He possibly is, but it still doesn't mean we have to like him lol

Yes mate, but I seem to recall Yobo stinking the gaff out and Lescott being an extremely able centre half alongside Jagielka. Moyes refused to play Baines at left back until injury forced him to. Lo! Magic improvement in our fortunes at that time.

Stubborn as you like he was. As is Dyche, which is my point with certain managers - they'll just stick with something regardless.

Yobo was excellent for us early in his career. I think we won 7 league games in a row after he signed for us.

Respectfully sir, this is the Dyche thread. Stick to Dyche topics- the main point being Dyche is a stubborn git like many other managers.

Don't encourage him.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Arteta was overrated and has proved himself to be a complete weapon. Begging to leave on deadline day, you’d think he’s spent his entire playing career at arsenal. Can’t stand Lego head.

He was by far our best player until his knee injury. At that time he was genuinely one of the top 2/3 players in his position in the league and won midfielder of the year.

Yes sir, but whilst keeping in mind this the Dyche thread and I was merely drawing parallels on stubborness you are referring to circa 2002/2003 when Yobo first joined.

Lescott joined in 2006.

Back to Dyche, he has some strange fixation on shoehorning Gueye and Onana into midfield no matter what, no?

Respectfully, conversations meander. You were chatting wham in support of your agenda. People are allowed to correct the wham.

Unfortunately sir, we will have to agree to disagree.

What are your thoughts on Dyche?

Every single Everton manager in living memory has been criticised for not playing youth, being stubborn and making substitutions too late. Fans look at a bad result and immediately think there was some other team selection, tactics, subs that would produce a different outcome. But we all know hindsight is 20/20 and counter factuals never get tested.

Of course. But in these instances THE FANS were correct.

What are our thoughts on Dyche?

Too early to tell but I think our performances this season have justified better results. My main criticism would be our defending at set pieces and our vulnerability at the back post.
