I get baby steps.
I think we set up far too negatively. And once again fluffed on changes because those fresh legs Brighton got made the difference to them, we were huffing and puffing. His subs were way too late.

He probably had Burnley squads better than the one we have now. It is grim to watch, no arguing there, but if we’d have opened up at any point after scoring, I suspect we lose. Maybe not, but more likely.
A deflected cross away from a 6th win in 8!!!!!!!!! Literally a few months ago everyone clamouring for results above all else. Can’t base your playing style on your history and size of fanbase sadly.
We can hound him out, get a zany attack minded South American in, flirt with relegation due to making loads of attacking subs and go all out, sack him, then the next grim defensive minded coach will spend 12 months trying to make us back to being as solid as we were today.
He will never be anyone’s 1st choice. Think he knows that. Context is everything. 6 weeks ago we were 100% certainties to go down apparently. Go on the best run for years, unlucky draw at home to a better side and sack him.
I regain my faith in humanity when I read posts like this. I'm very pro-Dyche but it's completely understandable to criticise his lack of subs today, and it's valid to be unhappy with 18% possession at home.
But the people who deny there has been improvement in the nine months Dyche has been here... I mean, honestly it makes me question my sanity. So it's good when a poster complains about Dyche but also at least acknowledges the progress.
…..tactically did very well today. He can only work with what he has and we saw at Goodison last season what happens when you’re tactically naive against Brighton.
Keep up the good work, Fella.

Sean Dyche is getting for us, he just needs to recognise when players are running on tired legs and need swapping out.
No, I agree he should have made changes earlier. It’s something he needs to do better. I’m just saying that despite that area, a lot of other parts of our play have significantly improved. And the bigger picture is that we’re going in the right direction.
I think there's an element of arrogance with Kompany and the way he is playing with Burnley. He's vastly underestimated how good teams in the Premier League are.
I respect he has a philosophy but it's just pigheadedness to carry on like he is. You need an element of pragmatism as a coach. Arteta won an FA Cup beating better sides with a low block and using Aubameyang on the counter attack. You have to adapt.
Tbh I understood the lack of subs. Our shape was what was winning the game, every player knew his job and stuck to it. Brighton couldn't break us down and only scored from a fluky as deflection. Annoying but not the manager's fault.
My only gripe is Young. Shouldn't have started, he's utterly washed and besides he's 38 and had played a full 90 mid-week already. It's indefensible the amount of minutes he keeps giving to the likes of him and Keane. If he keeps on with this it's very likely to to end up cancelling out all his other good work.
His game management today was bang on for 80+ minutes, just didn't get the luck of the green in the end. But overall it's a positive point, I mean just look at what they did to us in the fixture last season.

It's not negative it's pragmatic! And it's getting us the vital points needed to start in this league. That's the brief for this season and we just need to accept it.
He's probably crap but he just needs to keep us up and to stay in the job he just needs to make sure we don't have any considerable period in bottom three and looking in real danger
Be arsed over analysing just how crap we are each week. We are crap, just make sure we aren't too crap and he is doing the job required of him during this particularly unstable period of the club's history.
Just get through a couple seasons and hope whatever owners we have don't run us into the ground and have us renting out a new stadium we don't own. once we get through this we can hopefully get back to hoping again and expecting more of managers. For now just keep us at this level in the table and jobs done.

The no subs thing is becoming a joke isn't it?
…other than taking DCL off, I’m not sure there was an obvious substitution, especially when they were bossing possession.

38 year right back concedes after being run ragged 2 games in a week
International right back on the bench but ok to come on after they score.
Mind blowing

De Zerbi changed 4/5 players before Dyche even looked at his bench ....again.
Says it all really.
