2023/24 Sean Dyche

If it wasn't for a corrupt PL we'd be only a few points off 6th place now. There's a very Dogs Of War like quality to this Everton team.

In terms of problems with this club, the manager is down at the bottom of the list for me. Sean Dyche is just one of those tough/no nonsense old school managers.

That's what i like about him, although the footballing hipsters do like to look down their noses on these types for some reason. lol
 

Three Premier League victories in the space of eight days without conceding a goal has transformed Everton’s season.

They started the first of those bottom and facing a battle against the drop. Now they are four points above the relegation zone, just three points from the 'mid-table mediocrity' of 15th place from a few weeks ago.

Whisper it, Sean Dyche appears to be building something special.

Every successful Everton team had a style with determination and resilience at its core. This squad has those in abundance.

It’s too soon to get carried away with the future, particularly given the club’s precarious off-field position, but progress under Dyche is obvious.

He has had little money to spend, with both Anthony Gordon and Alex Iwobi sold for balance sheet purposes and a number leaving when their contracts ended.

Beto and Youssef Chermiti have been recruited in attack though the latter is clearly more for the future. Jack Harrison and Arnaut Danjuma arrived on loan and Ashley Young, 38, was free. Also, and crucially, Jarrad Branthwaite has returned after his season-long loan at PSV Eindhoven.

The balance of the squad has improved, but it has been far from a radical overhaul.

What Sean Dyche has done is what the best managers do - vastly improve the squad with man-management and tactical skills.

The Blues boss has worked with wisdom and diligence to bring out the best in his players. Vitaliy Mykolenko’s improvement is perhaps the most noticeable. His understanding of what’s required defensively have increased ten-fold.

Dyche is helping players maximise their talents while ensuring they buy in to his philosophy of what you need to succeed at a club like Everton.

On Saturday, they go to Burnley, where Dyche made his managerial name and with Branthwaite and Idrissa Gana Gueye both suspended. The loss of Branthwaite is particularly unwelcome. He has shone and his partnership with James Tarkowski is formidable.

Burnley’s five-goal hammering of Sheffield United and a battling draw at Brighton point to a improving side, but it’s also another opportunity for Everton to underline just how much their away form has improved.

As far as fans are concerned, it’s only onwards and upwards.

give over.
You know, a lot of us suffered plenty of abuse from people who said it didnt matter that the team was playing well, and laughed at us saying we would start winning once we had a striker in. Almost all changed their tune when they realized the obvious after we started winning a bunch of matches.

But you've decided to remain an ignoramus, credit to you for sticking to your principles.

But the xG didnt matter, the only thing that mattered were results, the results have come, so everybody is happy.

If we went back to creating loads and not winning, things will change back.

People, like me, werent wrong, the results were poor, Dyche was underperforming with the players he had, recent results prove that, but now, hes very much overperforming. And long may it continue.

Last season a few people said he performed miracles, not for me, he had nothing in the bank for me, I wasnt impressed, he hadnt shown any value.

Its fair to say he has now, we wont win every game and we potentially will have a dip, but for now, hes got my full support and something in the bank that means that if a dip happens and results fall, I wont be as eager to call for his head. Not that I have this season, for the record, I did in May like.

Know what you're saying but never really liked the dogs of war tag. Just as I don't now. Does us an injustice.... Keeps us small.

For what is a TEAM game. We show that.
It's not just no nonsense, hoofing it out, playing percentages. It's direct and effective. Playing to our strengths. Mixed with team spirit and quality (which is too often overlooked).

For me, that's Everton.

Agree. Hip or not. Nea. It's us.

Well the dogs of war did win us our last trophy! Hopefully Dyche can finally bring the silverware back to Goodison.
