2023/24 Sean Dyche

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Too early to tell but I think our performances this season have justified better results. My main criticism would be our defending at set pieces and our vulnerability at the back post.

How would address these issues good sir?

 

[Nymzee]

At the start I actually liked the way he spoke, now he's getting to levels where I can't even listen to the man.

I want us to do well, but I fear his stubbornness will lead to Gana back in and the midfield falling apart again.

He doesn't come across as a very likeable person at all, the James Garner question in the last press conference really irked me

Has an arrogance that no manager with his CV should have.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Of course. But in these instances THE FANS were correct.

What are our thoughts on Dyche?

You don’t know that. It’s just pure conjecture. Same with your Baines/Lescott argument. We don’t know that in the alternative timeline Baines gets thrown in before he is ready, his confidence suffers resulting in poor form and we sell him back to Wigan for £4m, he wallows in the championship and never meets Steven Pienaar and one of the best partnerships in premier league history is never formed.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Very. It’s a thankless and tiring role I fill in keeping the angry paranoid and under control on here. I deserve a special VIP header but will just accept my ban in the Current Affairs forum being lifted.

I think we should push for the ban being lifted, all of us, as a people, for all the truly thankless work you've put in here mate.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

How would address these issues good sir?

Less people in the box from corners and better marking from free kicks.

Well, performances changed and our fortunes improved. So you could argue we do know that.

Anyway, as I've said some agree, others don't.

Back to Dyche, how do you think he can move this Everton side forward? You identified some clear deficiencies and, I'd take it from your earlier response, you're prepared to give him time. Thoughts?

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

How will fewer people on the box help?

 

[DualityNSNO]

Back to Dyche, how do you think he can move this Everton side forward?

By resigning.

Absolutely, we are generally far more organised (set pieces aside) and I no longer hate every single player which is a good sign. Branthwaite, McNeil, Garner, Onana, Harrison and DCL are all playing to a good level under Dyche. DCL was the best I have seen him on Saturday.

 

[chicoazul]

Why is there common sense being chatted in this thread? I am agog.

The toads have gone rather quiet haven’t they. Know thy enemy dear fellow toffeemen.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

By resigning.

Stop it, we know you hate the man. I'm trying to engage @Kevsleftpeg in sensible discussion about Dyche here.

He's a knowledgeable guy who obviously likes the debate. Plus he's a rarity on here, he's neither a Dychette or a Douche Out and offers a different perspective to the usual binary shouting.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

How will fewer people on the box help?

Because teams are taking short corners with three or four players playing a pre set passing move which result in a player ending up with lots of time and space to play a cross from a dangerous position. It happened 3 or 4 times on Saturday but Bournemouth couldn’t make it count.

Would you shift to man to man or stick with a zonal system? I'd prefer man to man.

 

[Calvin]

How will fewer people on the box help?

They’ll pick up the numerous opposition players lingering around the edge of the box. Maybe even have someone on the halfway line to at least give the appearance of the threat on the counter.
Does any other team defend corners like Everton? Everyman in the box?

I don't hate the man, he's probably a really nice bloke who smells like old spice and Axe body spray.

I hate his inability to be a good football manager, I've stated the reasons on here a thousand times like.
