2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[ToffeeTim]

I wish he wouldve made changes at halftime. Theyre a man down, throw Beto on right away. Try to hit them hard and use our advantage, but insted we just did the same thing as we did before they had a man sent off.

It was more how we played than personel changes. We needed much more than just making subs

We needed to push up 10 yards. We needed to commit more men into the box and we needed to move the ball quickly. We needed to create 2 v 1s to use the extra man.

We did none of that. We just hoofed it.

 

[Clarky cat]

Ye it's a difficult one to argue because I can come back and argue that there were switches with Ndiaye being put in the 10, him and McNeil swapping sides, and going with 442, but everyone else can just say it didn't work because of bad coaching.

442 with not an ounce of preparation, yeah genius. Just aimlessly smash the ball in to the box and hope, don’t use the extra man you have to pull them out of position… this is all basic stuff, I’d be amazed if Dyche could pass his coaching licences in 2024.

 

[Eggs]

If you think the manager is blameless then you’re the biggest idiot on here. A man advantage for 60mins against a team who had conceded a lot of goals and not won a point on the road. And we huffed and puffed. You do Realise this comes down to coaching Monday to Friday

…I didn’t, really appreciate the heads-up. Dyche out.

 

[ToffeeScot]

All we did was give it a go!

We gave it a go in the sense that we had the ball more and moved in the direction of their goal but it was tired, boring play that was easy to defend. It's quite clear that Dyche has no idea how to train or implement an attacking style of play or any patterns of play in an attacking fashion because we are completely devoid of any ideas when we get within 30 yards of the goal. It's depressing and shocking at premier league level.

It also depresses me that the one player in our team that shows urgency in wanting to attack and win the game is our goalkeeper. That's abysmal.

442 with not an ounce of preparation, yeah genius. Just aimlessly smash the ball in to the box and hope, don’t use the extra man you have to pull them out of position… this is all basic stuff, I’d be amazed if Dyche could pass his coaching licences in 2024.

Just said exactly the same thing.

Abysmal manager

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

I really liked the bit where he spent all week telling everyone (correctly) that Ndiaye in the middle and Mcneil out wide would make us worse. Only to then waste half an hour against 10 men doing exactly that

 

[COYBL25]

Most of us are flat and dispirited, even before we go through the turnstiles.

Spot on.

People are going to the game out of habit and blind loyalty ( and to escape the missus ) with the expectation of watching nothing but ninety minutes of eye bleeding footy.

It’s a bad as Allardyce ever was.

 

[Nyhus]

It was more how we played than personel changes

We needed to push up 10 yards. We needed to commit more men into the box and we needed to move the ball quickly. We needed to create 2 v 1s to use the extra man.

We did none e of that. We just hoofed it.

Both can be true. If the manager makes the sub at half time and makes it clear to the player that he wants us to go for it, maybe they wouldve pushed higher up, but im guessing the team talk was more along the lines of "remember, theyre still dangerous with 10 men, so be careful!". Not a great attitude to have, if thats indeed whats going on.

 

[Clarky cat]

I see Wolves went and won 4-1 at Fulham who I keep getting told we have no right to beat because they’re so good.

I wonder if they just sat back and let them have the ball for 95 minutes?

 

[JLW]

I really liked the bit where he spent all week telling everyone (correctly) that Ndiaye in the middle and Mcneil out wide would make us worse. Only to then waste half an hour against 10 men doing exactly that

He literally has no idea what hes doing accept putting 11 players on a pitch in a formation, thats it.

Yes great point!

 

[GrandOldSte117]

442 with not an ounce of preparation, yeah genius. Just aimlessly smash the ball in to the box and hope, don’t use the extra man you have to pull them out of position… this is all basic stuff, I’d be amazed if Dyche could pass his coaching licences in 2024.

Wait I didn't realise the argument from fans all week was 'play Ndiaye in the 10, unless it's congested'. Seems to be an extra branch on the 'manager shouldve done everything he didn't do' tree.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

He literally has no idea what hes doing accept putting 11 players on a pitch in a formation, thats it.

Thought he set us up well for the first half an hour and then his head just completely fell off once they went to 10 men

 

[NorthernBlue]

It’s written in the stars this useless lump takes us down in our final season at goodison and them lot win the league.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Can't wait for this bum to leave.
