2024/25 Sean Dyche

They have very good attackers; we restricted them to 3 shots on target...and that's without our best defender being on the pitch and no regular LB in there either.

It's a preposterous statement to say our defence didn't perform today.
Are you pissed? They had three shots on target because they ballooned about ten other chances over the bar, fluked one off the line, they missed a pen. Their finishing was terrible, we were very lucky. We lose that game 9 times out of ten. Take the draw but don’t kid yourself.
 
That's true we played a side that is 16th in shots taken or somewhere around that. We should be around 8/9 points with the fixtures we had, but now on 5. A performance like today won't suffice against a better side.

December will be hard we should build a good distance till then, have Wolves and Forest to get points then, myb so odd results in the others but, not much to gain realistically.

Forest is a really tricky one this year. They have more experience in key areas and also playing them right after Chelsea and Man. City so who knows what the recovery time and energy levels will be for that. Wolves away last season three days after playing Man. City was a really poor performance and were comprehensively beaten.

Wolves could well have a new manager coming to Goodison but well overdue a win v them at home so bit more confident for that given how they're defending.

Before that need to be getting 4 points from the Fulham and Brentford home games and ideally an away win from somewhere.
 

Let’s add that Newcastle are not very good either….

So many overrated players. The media likes to talk about how it’s good that they are back in the big time.

They just have a bunch of thugs in midfield and at the back…

Trippier is as bad as young
Keeper is not great
Most overrated players in the premier league have the first name Bruno

Only decent player they have is Isaak. Glad he wasn’t playing.

Lost 1 game so far this season. They're good.

And Isak bags today.
 

We hit it to Dom or into channels then force a press in the final 3rd. It's putting the ball into the dangerous areas.

Alternatively we let the the opposition have the ball and trigger presses.

RE Villa The 2nd was from our "aimless" balls and won the free kick.

I'll give you McNeil's

And then there's Dom being clean through twice from through balls.

So possibly...you think Dyche has a plan then other than long balls depending on the opposition?
A massive stretch
