2024/25 Sean Dyche

[trueblue84]

This is also how social media builds hysteria.

Whether you like him or not it's absolute rat behaviour misquoting and twisting peoples words.

Hate it

Yep.

@GrandOldTeam, any chance you can blacklist these? I know I asked back in June but you said they are merely an aggregator.

I think they twist quotes so shouldn't be considered as just passing another source's info on.

The only people still backing this fraud are the same people who are in the “I would take 17th place now” before a ball was kicked this season.

Embarrassing our fans will accept this

Give Dyche credit you animals!!!!

He’s won 5 games since December and broke 2 of worst records in that period, where is the respect

 

[PeregrineT]

Im not Sean Dyche and I think its pretty obvious the fans opinions come and go. Its pretty obvious on here that opinions are fickle and many will love a player one week and 3 weeks later declare him the worst.

Its just nitpicking at this point, they are words no one cares about if there are points on the table.

 

[ClausThomsen]

I've always had him down as a pragmatist. Think he pulled off a minor miracle keeping the club up after Lampard and last season was a creditable finish given the deductions and chaos but....

There's nothing pragmatic about that possession stat at home to Southampton. Especially in a League Cup game that affects pretty much nothing of significance. There was a few chances created that could have seen the game put away beyond doubt as there was at Villa but this constant rejection of possession puts far too much strain on a defence and lets the opposition play at their own pace.

4 league games in isn't sacking time for me but change in approach is required. I don't expect tika-taka but consistent below 30% possession is unsustainable.

"It was ever thus" - can't remember if that was Shakespeare or Roy Hodgson

I think it was Roy who pushed the line onto Will...

@God, any chance you can get this guy to *explain how* the quote was twisted? I genuinely don't understand what these people think the longer quote proves. It changes nothing!

 

[Brownie]

Don't worry, everyone, they've been reaffirming to the players the whys and wherefores of why we had such a good record last season.

 

[Blue Tumbleweed]

Here's a stat that will hammer home why dyche isn't good enough...

The ball was in play for 55 minutes when we played Southampton. That means Everton only had possession for 14 minutes, based on our 26% possession. Can't find the breakdown of possession by 3rd, but assuming it was an even 33%, that means we spent just under 5 minutes in attacking positions.

How on earth can you win a game in 5 minutes, especially if the other team scores?

But... We had more shots at goal, and if there was more composure from Beto for one chance, and if one of Lindstrøm’s two 1v1s had been converted, or he even passed to Beto, we still would have won the game, and that isn't on Dyche that is an Everton problem we have had since Carlo left us.

When the team gets into the final third we seem to lose all composure, this happened under Benitez, Lampard and now Dyche (As an aside, it also happened at the rump end of the seasons with Carlo..?)

We just don't seem to be very good at being composed or clinical. Is that three (four?) managers or something at FF? DCL mainly credited his 'record' season to Davide Ancelotti and Big Dunc giving him extra coaching; so do we not only need psychologists, but an attack/shooting coach?

Just askin'

 

[Blue Tumbleweed]

He looks defeated to me.

I just think he looks frustrated, and as miffed(?) as us fans tbch.

I expect he is annoyed with himself, the players and the injury/sickness log-jam. To be fair to him (I know I sound like a Dyche apologist, but I'm just trying to be objective about our manager who is going nowhere soon, even if we do go 0-10 )

 

[Blue Tumbleweed]

He’s raging. He’s not having the audacity of anyone questioning his awful decisions or his awful record since December, how dare we ask for more wins. He has checked out. Expect more nonsensical tactics and teamsheets, he doesn’t know anything else and he certainly doesn’t have the humility to change. This fella is doubling down on his terrible selections because the law of averages will surely get him a draw or win in which his favourites are all playing, this will make him feel vindicated and the same cycle will roll on.
Why does this club have to let the corpse rot and fester before they even consider change, we are a bin fire. The end is near for the Snotmeister general, I feel.

This is it Clarky, Dyche bases his whole 'system' around the percentages. Right now, he is like a gambler playing the odds, and not getting a result, hence the winless streak, hence the 'raging' and to my mind frustration. Yet, if his 'system' starts paying out, he'll relax more and in all probability become more reasoned about his selections and tactics. Again, being fair, he has had a very poor hand with regards injuries, surgical procedures and sickness thus far...

We have to remember (@matty1878 ) he is not likely to be going anywhere soon, for all the reasons mentioned repetitively over these pages.

The only way Dyche goes early, for me (and not my preferred option), is when we get bought out!

Doesn’t matter that it’s 4 league games into a new season, it’s 6 league wins since December that matters and that is not good enough.

We look at our chances against Villa as ‘what if’, well what about their missed chances?

We’re an awful team from front to back.

 

[GrandOldSte117]

Have you seen the results?

It's not about Dyche. It's about Everton. Wake up and smell the

Mate it's been about Dyche for a long time for some people. He wasn't 'good' to them when he was doing well. They were waiting in the wings to turn sour

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Yep.

I do wish people wouldn't post aggregators mate. I often post to discourage it, and we did have this during the transfer window;

At best, they don't respect the original source who should get the credit and clicks to avoid misrepresentation. At worst, they're engagement farming and know what they're doing.

Either way - it would be good if we all publicly discouraged their posting and all made an effort to post direct.

Give Dyche credit you animals!!!!

We picking and choosing records? First time a manager has kept a team in the league with not one pts deduction but two. Was 1 way away from equalling a home win record not been achieved since 2019. 4th best defence in the league last season. 48 pts, our best in years. But that was all 'luck' to you guys.
