2023/24 Sean Dyche

As big as fan as any of what he's done, but he's got to get a grip at Goodison. Far, far too negative.

The below make or break us - he's not at Burnley anymore. We expect to attack at home ffs.

West Ham home
Burnley home
Forest home
Brentford home
Sheff Utd home
Tbf to him, the games at home against lower sides have been a complete thorn in our side for a few seasons. Regardless of if we go full attack, all teams have to do is soak up our poor chance creation and hit us on the break, get the crowd against the team and then reap the benefits.
 

We have no confidence in our attacking play until we go a goal down and ‘have nothing to lose’ and suddenly start creating chances. We made enough chances to win that game easy today, Dom misses two golden chances, Tarks header, Doucoure at the post couldn’t turn it on target, Dom nod down for Garner to strike, the corner Onana scored but we created only one of those in the first half, why?

Palace were there for the taking and if we went at them early and settled the crowd down it would’ve been a much easier game.

We know what Goodison is like in relegation battles but if the team attacks, it gets right behind them and we have to do that when we play teams like this.
 
Think he’s a bit of a coward, unfortunately.
Same in every sport, if you’re scared to win, then you won’t very often, fortune favours the brave and all that. He was just about to put dobbin on and then tells him to sit down, take Myko off if he didn’t want to take his love child off and move him to left back and put dobbin left wing, palace had virtually taken a draw in the last 10 mins
 
let’s be honest, what’s he got to work with?
A core of a team that should be nowhere near where we are currently.
Our attacking options are grim, very very grim. DCL and Beto can’t score.
We don't play for strikers to score goals, we play for them to run the channels and gather hoofs.

I know DCL missed today, but 2 things can be true at the same time.
McNeil and Harrison create little. Doucoure is either ok or stinks the house out. Young is absolutely gash, Dobbin raw.
Create little for whom? DCL isolated in the box half he game, we have no late runners until we played hoof-chaosball at the end.

Dobbin is raw so he gets to sit on the bench or play 5 min AT MOST, PMSL, clown stuff
No creativity at all in midfield.
If only there were ways to set up a midfield that aren't "hoof it to bypass them". There's only one way to play football though.
I’m happy with that back 4 until the end of the season.
Fair.
 

Please read it again: "Aside from a purple patch after the points deduction".

Even the purple patch we had a tough run.

Since our last win away at Burnley we've played City and Spurs twice, Villa and Fulham.

Wolves away was awful out of the lot

Doesn't defend tonight. But let's not press the panic button
 
I know the players are crap but no other Premier league manager plays football like that. Must have been at least 30 long balls. It’s dismal.

All we're playing for is set pieces and second balls from knock downs and flick ons from punts into the box, hoping something drops. Basically how his Burnley teams always played, it's now a team in his image.
