2024/25 Sean Dyche

[Tommy Chong]

….its not about favourites or pets, his team selection is entirely down to judgement. If Keane continues to be selected it shows a distinct lack of judgement, he adds pace to a back four that lacks pace, he adds quality and attitude and he improves those around him.

I think I'm misunderstanding you here, Eggs... Are you saying that if Keane stays, he adds those qualities to the team, or if he gets dropped, then another player adds those qualities?

Because I think Branthwaite should get a start against WH.

more blag kak from him again

why are you a manager then?

i mean this tops him off.

get out you joke

"What can make this group effective, what can make it win?" Answer is clearly the exact same hoofball he'd insisted on playing at Burnley, for a decade, as that's all he knows.

"Can we do it in a style everyone likes?" And once more, as above, with the caveat his teams have always played football that nobody likes.

What a manager, savior, messiah, football God. After the Branthwaite comments he's definitely giving up and on a wind up.

At this point I have no idea how anyone can keep claiming that

….he hardly played Keane last season. Even when a CB was missing he selected Godfrey. This is about his judgement.

 

[kiss the crest]

No other managers in the league would leave their best defender on the bench when desperate for points.

He is 100% taking us all for fools

Why is the media not pulling him up over this, why are we just sitting on our hands letting this clown get away with it

His decisions and press conferences now, are as bads as the time when Norwich were beating us and Benitez was laughing in the dugout

We need to let this clown know that he is not welcome here
get the sheets out lads

….i’m saying Branthwaite should be straight back in, he adds pace to a back four that lacks pace, he adds quality and attitude and he improves those around him.

You always pick your best team.

 

[GoldenToffee]

This motherfudger has no idea what he's doing. Imagine hanging the best young CB in Europe out to dry in favour of your mate and soon to be out of contract Michael Keane who has been a mainstay of a seriously struggling backline for over a quarter of the season. Disgraceful and very damaging.

Are these the remarks you're talking about, mate?

Returning from a loan spell at PSV Eindhoven in 2022/23, Branthwaite went on to make 35 Premier League appearances for Everton last season and won his first England cap against Bosnia and Herzegovina at St James’ Park on June 3. However, Dyche insisted the player would have to bide his time and said: “He’s had one season in the Premier League. Don’t get me wrong, one very, very good season but it’s still only one season in the Premier League.

“He’s got a lot of learning to go and a lot of developing to go in my opinion. Fitness is a big part of that to physically be out there.

“He was out quite a long time. He came back in and got re-injured, so we didn’t want that of course.

“In the bit in between, we’d won games. In my opinion, we should have won the last one and we didn’t, so it all looks different.

“So if you win that, all of a sudden you’re three wins and three draws from those six and everyone looks at it differently and that’s just the nature of being at Everton Football Club and being the manager. When you’re talking about teams, and we know that he’s a very good player, Jarrad, and that unit did very well last season, the back five if you like.

“There were some changes, but that unit played together a lot, so, we know all that. We want to address every part of the pitch and the key one is still scoring goals, we created enough chances last week to score goals and gave away very, very little in terms of good chances for the opposition.”

God help us. The Sooner the Friedkin's come in and bin this clown, the better.

Then he has shockingly lapsed in his judgement and is back to Royal Blue Burnley days. I don't know what the excuse is this time though, JOB gets 0 minutes, Branthwaite will be getting eased in for 2 min a game for the next few weeks (as we critically need points), which is hilariously pointless, and the only plan B we have is "Michael Keane up top/winger/anywhere" seemingly. He hardly played him last season as it was actual murder - Keane was in his current form and costing us goals every game, this year it's just stubbornness to drop him, he couldn't afford it last time out. Still found a way to slot him here and there though, the bizarre subs against the RS, stuff like that.
Oh and with a CB missing he didn't select Godfrey, we were lucky that Branthwaite was as ever-present as he was (as we were with Myko as there was no one else to play left back) - Godfrey played 1 game as a CB and he was paired with both Keane and Tarkowski against Burnley, then played 6-7 as a RB (and one very forgettable as a LB).

I don't believe for a second the "watches them in training" BS as well and the selections prove this anyway. If this is his true judgement from 'watching them in training' then it's appalling.

By the by, favourites can be more than just Keggers - we also have to play McNeil for a full 90 every single game, Harrison is straight back in despite lacking quality, both of which lead to playing players out of position just to shoehorn them in the side, stuff like that.

Yeah, the same. Masterful WUM, horrible football manager.

Non-zero chance he's @chicoazul based on that tbh

 

[SteveWatsonAbsoluteGent]

The right choice is to drop Tarkowski issue he doing that he has to make two decsion. Change Keanes position and swap Jared and Tarkowski.

Dyche knows how the players are in training and makes decsion sometimes we don't see. Due to what he sees on training.

He will get a win on Saturday and the boo boys won't have anything to say

We could win 17:0 and I will still have a lot about him to say mate, don't worry x

I mean we won't, but regardless.

Even if we scrape some form of lucky win, I’m telling you now, it will be through god awful football and West Ham completely bottling it.

Suggesting it’s tarks that should come out instead of Keane and playing them in different positions. You really are a poor man’s wum.

Can also be that he doesn't trust other players other than his favourite 11 to start, and he doesn't trust his starting 11 to play any other tactics other than Dycheball, which to me, is just a manifestation of his own subconscious insecurities, as in: He's too apprehensive to trust in his own abilities as a football manager to change things up.

That absolutely reeks of fear!

*Lol, pardon my dime store phycology interpretation...

I don't think he doesn't trust his own abilities, he probably thinks he's the bee's knees - the problem is he has a hilarious lack of said abilities and is as limited as they come, while being afraid of change/adapting.

I know a lot of people think this is a criticism for the football on show and to an extent - it is. A lot is thrown around like "Mourinho/Simeone/etc. also play defensively and win", but it's just flat out not true - they've adapted a lot to football down the years, they've changed their approach when they have needed to, they've played differently with the same players as they just prepare for more than 1 outcome, and so on, which Dyche at this rate won't do likely ever. It's like in any line of work - if you don't adapt to the new technologies/approaches/etc. you'll forever be the person who doesn't know how email attachments work.
