2024/25 Sean Dyche

This 'poor team' argument form the Dyche fans just doesn't cut it for me.

The starting 11 and 3-4 subs are absolutely fine and should be finishing mid table. yes we are short in a few areas but most clubs are.

We have zero tactics, no strategy and no identity.

a better manager gets more form these players.

I don't think there are many 'Dyche fans' out there for what it's worth. He's personally unpopular and his style of football is horrible. There are definitely people who view our situation more pragmatically than the Dyche Out side though, there's no doubt about that.

Dyche has had ample time to adjust at Everton, yet he continues to rely on excuses instead of results.

At Burnley, he was recognised for his pragmatic, defense-first approach, and I was hopeful that this would evolve with better players at Everton. He had previously suggested in various podcasts that his tactics would change with improved talent. However, since his arrival, he has remained frustratingly rigid. His system is among the most predictable I’ve seen, with minimal adjustments to accommodate different opponents. Opposing managers seem to have completely figured him out.

His focus on defensive stability has come at the expense of any fluidity or creativity in attack.

Dyche's reluctance to adapt in-game or his persistence with underperforming players, reflects a stubbornness that raises serious concerns about his flexibility as a manager. Initially, I appreciated his work ethic and no-nonsense approach, but his refusal to evolve tactically and a prolonged period of poor results leave only one conclusion.... he has to go.

A new stadium is on the horizon, and we cannot afford to play outdated football reminiscent of the Wimbledon long-ball era.

I have no doubt that another manager would get more out of this team.

He will never evolve his style
I should've realised this when he was on the 'masterclass' youtube taking 10minutes to explain his tactics. He also said he hadn't worked much on football since leaving Burnley. Eddie Howe on the other hand didn't realise he wanted to get back into management until he noticed himself spending more and more time drawing up new training regimes and tactics to the point where he said he might as well do it for real again.

The fact Dyche has won one game in August in his career without changing his preseason is a massive red flag showing either stubbornness or ignorance of a better way. He judges himself on the full season and says it regularly, meaning he's comfortable with a percentage lost games. The best managers hate losing every game and it shows. He's not good enough. Came in, did a job, has improved nothing since. thanks and bye

I always prioritise league > cup, especially the League Cup, and I always promote rotation for cups to keep legs fresh but

He, and the club, really needed a win last night. Just to bring some confidence in and remind ourselves how to beat actual teams again (sorry Donny).

The club is too big for him. The squad is not 5 defeats in a row bad.

Totally agree start of the season we have 2 chances of silverware or a trip to Wembley and ones already gone wanted that cup last night so much to send the old lady off with her last paraded trophy but after just 4 games in were already talking survival is more important than a cup run.
I would have respected him more with making the changes if he had told us and he players he was going to have a right go and what ever the result so be it but t was just the same as normal 10 men behind the ball for much of the game at a snails pace its such a shame that i now have to wait till January for the FA cup and have to sit through this for 3 months.
Dyche is so concerned that these players cant get through 44-46 games while the top 6 may have to contend with 60 odd and i understand the bigger squads etc but surly we can manage 44 odd games.

So the bookies are at fault we're getting 20% possession and losing from 2:0 too?

This feels like a great big conspiracy against Sean Dyche at this point.

nope, apparently it's negative fans according to what i've read this morning on the bird app. How are our players expected to play football when fans are being nasty about them. We should be showering them with praise, love and light regardless of performances and results. Yes we might lose the next 10 games but long term the players will feel great about themselves, and play the game with a smile on their faces and a song in their hearts. So, next time Michael Keane gets out-jumped by a 5ft 7 striker leading to another goal, and you want to boo him, stop and think about his feelings.
 

Sack race odds: Sean Dyche shortens again after Everton Carabao Cup exit​

By Joe Townsend
08:39 · WED September 18, 2024

Sean Dyche has shortened further in the betting to be the first Premier League manager to leave this season, now leading the sack race at 13/8 after Everton were knocked out of the Carabao Cup on penalties at home by Southampton.

The Toffees went into Tuesday's third-round tie under pressure having surrendered a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2 two games in succession, leaving them bottom of the table with no points from four games.

They took a first-half lead through Abdoulaye Doucoure but after that was cancelled out by Saints defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, it was the visitors who emerged victorious from the shootout.

Dyche, who started the season as a 14/1 sack race outsider, takes his team to fellow strugglers Leicester on Saturday.

I'm as pragmatic as to say that Dyche with his dull football has to get an acceptable points-tally to avoid the sacking and this has not been the case in 2024.

But we don't see a lot of ingame management
The defense doesn't work anymore
No performance-based line ups.
And above all results have gone to a point, we should really be worried about.

I know they lost 2 players with Olise and Andersen that would be starting eleven in any bottom half team.

But they got in.

Chabloah, who I think was good at Chelsea, Sarr, Kamada, Nketiah, Riad (who is a good defender as well), Lacroix that worked under Glasner in Wolfsburg.

Could keep Guehi and Eze.

To replace Olise is hard, he could play a top 6 PL team or Newcastle and Villa with ease.

I really think it's time to stop with the whole "top 6" malarkey. They haven't BEEN the "Top 6" with any regulatory in eons. Just call them what they are, "Scab 6"
