2024/25 Sean Dyche

[Curtis]

I've mentioned it before but my biggest concern about dyche Is a trait displayed by most of the recently sacked everton managers (except frank because he was just clueless overall,) is that he is incredibly obstinate and maybe will make some minor tweaks to his antiquated and predictable formula for football but in the larger scheme just assumes eventually will course correct which we were extremely fortunate that was case last season of 4 dour months of going without a win , but imagine if the schedule was slightly different and we finished with 4 unfruitful months coinciding with the end of the season our chances of relegation would of increased significantly.

He doesnt seem to use his own premier leaghe experience to grow and learn about the game much like Micheal keane's premier league experience he continues to commit the same errors and football sins without ever making a clear effort to correct their detrimental qualities.

Out of his depth here can't handle the relationship with fans. And for manager who puts his reputation on organisation and difficult to break down, has lost the dressing room.

He has a 'i know more than all these idiots' vibe about him.
Its like his opinion on us fans is based on what he hears on talksport.

Not one mention of Goodison rocking in any of his 'runs of wins' he's had....not even anything like 'the fans got us over the line'

He's very quick to pick up on moods and vibes and smelling stuff after a defeat ('i could smell it in the air' 'if we made it 3-1 that would change the mood')

The first thing an Everton manger should work out is how to use Goodison to his advantage, in a way Lampard worked that out, he was just terrible tactically.

I've never expected thrilling games and goals galore under Dyche. I did/do expect organisation, defensive stability, commitment and being hard to beat. Dour, pragmatic tight games. Pick up wins, get us safe.

He's failing that basic remit massively at the moment. By country mile. Now, I know many will point to the squad, the full back options, a frankly thin set of options at CB - there's two I trust to play together. The others are Keane and an untried newby (in the Premier league).

But, Fat Sam had to deal with Cuco at left back and I think Seamus being absent at right back. But he found a way. It was grim, but he tightened up.

Criminal he's not doing the most basic thing he's supposed to be good at.

Yes, that's pretty bad. The last 7-8 months (apart from few exceptions the club has regressed under him) not only by results, but also by playstyle. What he did between January and December was promising. But then failed to keep level or maybe even implement some improvements.

You saw improvements in October or November last year also in style of play like against Newcastle, Bournemouth, Chelsea or Brentford. We played solid football there. It stopped however after the Tottenham game away that was pretty good tbf, but we lost it.

Surely the injury situation in defense is hard at the moment + reliable players of last seasons don't look the same. We have the highest xG against in the whole league. That is worrying with our defensive strategy.

We are in a situation, where it needs some improvisation skill by a manager and Dyche and his staff don't seem to have it.

 

[Milkman]

Because if he starts O’Brien and he performs well and the defence is more solid, then it’s an acknowledgment that he was wrong, which absolutely can’t happen under any circumstances. Same reason Dixon isn’t allowed to play ahead of the geriatrics.

He did the same with Branthwaite last year and Mina the year before that. It's not like he doesn't eventually do it, but it's weird how much time he's willing to waste until he's proven wrong.

 

[CielosGrises]

That stubborness seems to be a thing with football managers - i guess it comes with the necessary self-belief - but when it sets in and they don't adapt then it's a real problem.

Martinez and Benitez were similar in that respect.

 

[Drico]

Rubbish, you are asking him to manage us the way he did for umpteen years with Burnley and never got any where.

I’m asking him to manage us to 17th. Nothing more. Anything else is a flight of fancy with the current absentee board.

 

[chicoazul]

Can’t help but feel this forum can reach its full brutal civil war potential with David Moyes battling relegation as his Everton are due to go into a new stadium. Dyche and indeed anything is expendable in my mind if that’s prize.

 

[ToffeeScot]

Next two games are key in finding out if he and the team has the mettle to go on a run and get out of early danger. Lose tomorrow and I reckon he has the Leicester game as a last chance saloon.

He should not have a last chance. He should be gone now.

This.
Game, Set and Match...(though obviously not at the moment in Dyche's case)

 

[degsy]

...aaand This too.

 

[Toffeepot]

He doesnt seem to use his own premier leaghe experience to grow and learn about the game

Having such a dismal record in August throughout his career and not changing his preseason prep is just plain weird

anyone who thought they were getting defensive stability never watched his Burnley team ship a load of goals every season.
