In fairness, we are fourth in big chances created in the league. That means little though considering the opposition we have played and the lack of goals until recently. It is up to him to re-write the narrative.

As of right now we are spineless when it comes to protecting our net and it has cost us many points. One clean sheet with the opposition we have played this far is pathetic. All of the breakdowns (particularly from our wingbacks) have been pathetic. We have missed easy chances sure. But you know what loses games? Gift-wrapping goals.

It starts from top to bottom. I don’t want managers to talk about how good their team looked. We have looked fine. I want them to win games.

That only happened due to a last-minute injury in the warm-up, though. Dyche was planning on using his repeatedly-failed midfield formation.
That injury had no relevance to the formation.
He literally swapped Gueye for Onana and both play in the same position.

Gueye is considerably worse than Onana imo (mainly due to being unable to pass). We would have struggled if Dyche had played his preferred team, I believe.
 
Rinse and repeat has got us nowhere. We are in deep trouble, changing the manager is the last thing we should think about doing. Unless its Jesus and he's a fecking miracle worker, but I haven't seen any of them in football management.

I think we'd have beat that poor Bournemouth team with Tom Davies instead of Onana. 16-0. Bit optimistic, but I'm a big Monty Python fan.

….’spineless protecting our net’ is so at odds with the Dyche stereotype. You read posters on here saying it’s ‘hoofball’ to an isolated forward because too much emphasis is on defence, then you see the stats and posters now saying his tactics are too attacking and leave us too wide open.

I’m not clever enough to know what to make of it, perhaps the anti-Dyche faction will never be content.

We actually played excellent football against Brentford, Villa and Bournemouth. Played with energy, belief and quite a bit of skill. The Luton game was unfortunate but we have on a good run apart from that.

You never said that though

Lolwut. I’ve probably been one of the more objective people of Dyche here. We need to improve. Our record is crap. We are near relegation. The criticism is warranted. He can prove it wrong by not losing to Luton and showing some consistency.
