2024/25 Sean Dyche

[GrandOldSte117]

If my avatar was a homage to Jimmy Savile I don’t think I’d feel as much shame as if I’d attached my name to Sean Dyche in the year 2024.

Dyche, worse than pedophiles apparently.

Look at the precise quote from Dyche that's being discussed:

“There is no evidence to suggest he should be playing as a number 10”

It's nonsensical, and what you are saying doesn't map onto that as an explanation at all.

If we are to totally discount how well he played at 10 for Sheffield United, then we must also discount how well he played in any other position.

Therefore, there's no 'evidence' he should be playing on the wing, either. No 'evidence' he should be playing anywhere.

So excluding past performances in itself makes no sense.

What is MORE EYE OPENING

Is that we signed him in the summer with his playing evidence being:

Sheff Utd: Playing at 10 = success
Marseille: Playing wide = Flop

Also with Lindstrom
2 clubs playing as an attacking midfielder = Success
Last club playing wide = Flop

It seems to point at Dyche not actually being part of the signing decisions in the summer...

...does it not?

Imagine my surprise to check in here and find that people are falling over themselves to somehow justify the absurd notion that "there's no evidence to suggest he should be playing as a number 10". Really? With almost half his matches played there, where he scored more goals per minute than any other? Where he plays for his national team?

What a disingenuous lie that is. Dyche could have said "I think he's better on the left" and while Id disagree with him you could make some argument. But to say "there's no evidence" as a reason why you cant play him in that position is exposed as a lie when you consider that HE HAD NO EVIDENCE HE COULD PLAY ON THE LEFT. Yet that's where Dyche has played him. 154 matches for club and country before Dyche got a hold of him and only 9 of those were on the left, yet that's where Dyche plays him. Without evidence to suggest he should be playing there.

Dyche did a fine job last season, and I suspect got miffed about the backing and criticism, and has since decided hes going to throw in the towel until they fire him because he didnt get a contract extension.

If he'd have said something like...

"We gave Ndiaye the 10 shirt and he's on a long term contract. We expect him to be pushing to earn the right to be in that position after fully adapting to the premier league and delivering a decent return of goals and assists out wide"

That would have made a lot of sense and challenged the player to raise their game.
