2023/24 Sean Dyche

[roydo]

I would normally assume a decent set piece taker can strike a pen it would just come down to mentallity

Harry Kane is hopeless at set pieces, but red hot on pens.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Worrying but not unexpected lack of plan B and a bizarre tactical setup for a home game defo didn't make our job easier. No idea why it's gotta be back to experimenting when we have no Doucoure. We even tried other players in his role and did perfectly fine. Really wanted to be wrong about this prediction, but alas.

We go again, league is most important anyway.

@Hinchcliffe's Corner see, fair criticism, even if he is a slug*! lol


* we won 4 on the bounce when I started calling him that, we may never lose again if I keep at it.

 

[Billy Dean]

What players are good at freekicks and corners who cant take a pen out of intrest?

Struggling to think

Beckham wasn't the best on pens

Worrying but not unexpected lack of plan B

Aren’t we already on about plan D with the current state of the squad?

I know you’re meaning changing formation but the reality was we were well in the game & changing to 442 or something wasn’t going to change the issue that too many of our players had finally hit the wall.

And whats that got to do with the polar opppsite that im saying?

 

[YoboCopter]

Over 70 % converted for england isnt too shabby

Id like to see us with a player that can stand on the ball more to be honest, that Arteta or Jamo - maybe that will come.

The Duke is a big miss, hes te lynch pin of that system. So id be very open minded at being flexible with a formation, with DCL and Beto a 3-5-2 maybe particualrly with the Duke out......

Barkley would have been a good inclusion for this team.

Whole gameplan, not selection wise in reality - we play a very direct and aggressive low possession style when Doucoure is behind the striker which is great and all, but if he's not playing it's as if that's an absolutely unattainable way to play, we played that exact same way against Villa and Newcastle and won convincingly with Harrison there. What makes it bizarre is that both run forever anyway, no idea why we can't swap players when we have them available.

 

[COYBL25]

Barkley would have been a good inclusion for this team.

Of course he would.

 

[Lob]

I don't put last nights loss on this fella. Sure he could have done better but he was let down by 2 very poor penalties and we are not going to win every single game. You have to have a poor one now and again and i would rather have it in this mickey mouse cup than in the league.

Good performances in the next 3 games please.

 

[Gareth Gibson]

People are just angry, the game was there to be won, personally, I think it was a fair result, we didnt really do enough to win IMO, we lacked something, the crowd lacked something, yes we were 1 kick away, but I dunno, everything just felt flat tonight.

But as I said, everybody has given everything the last few weeks, players, manager, now is not the time to start throwing around blame, stay united, us against the world.

100%.

 

[If You Know Your History]

A sad night but hardly the end of the world.

We have just won four Premier League in a row without conceding a single goal.

To draw against Fulham at home is not acceptable for a club of Everton's size, but frankly we would have lost against them a few months. Im fact... we DID lose to them a few months ago!
And Fulham are no pushovers; they beat West Ham 5-0 the other week.

We missed Doucoure and Mykolenko last night. Desperately. But the players gave it their all.

The priority for the next couple of seasons is defying the corrupt PL and staying up. That's it. Then hopefully we can push on from there when we have the new stadium.

This.

 

[Bluebonic]

The one thing that miffed me was that Dyche has been saying he prefers two up top but the form of Doucoure has made it i possible to drop him. So with him being out I was hoping to see Dom and Beto start together.

 

[Billy Dean]

Is 70% that good?

The P/C is a little later tomorrow for whatever reason - 3.30pm
