2023/24 Sean Dyche

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

You think performances like this will help us stay up? We need to win these games, setting up not to lose them will not keep us in the league.

I agree the performance is bad, but at least we got something out of it. We will stay up with our points given back.

 

[pfim]

I know the players are crap but no other Premier league manager plays football like that. Must have been at least 30 long balls. It’s dismal.

Well we didn’t have a midfielder on the pitch able to pass until Onana was on.

 

[blueboy72]

Needs to figure out a way to change his style of play, can’t keep relying on set pieces to save us.

Got away with that tonight.

you really think he will. Luton twice and palace now have set up With 3 centre backs, we’ve won none.

What’s he done to counteract that?? He just basically throws Beto on and keeps DCL on, when all the other games he swaps them

 

[DualityNSNO]

More shots, more possession, more xG, more touches in box etc etc etc and still looks horrendous and unthreatening. Enigma.

Percentage football, as it is. Even then you're supposed to play to player's strengths, or so the story goes.

 

[MACCA75]

Well we didn’t have a midfielder on the pitch able to pass until Onana was on.

Well who was that down to?

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

I said he will probably just about get a pass this season if he keeps us up. But not a chance the fans accept this dross in the new stadium. He should be moved in in the summer and the new football people coming into the club, should already have a list drawn up

Totally agree. One step at a time.

 

[ah11984]

He needs to get over this Ashley Young obsession, quickly.

 

[pfim]

Well who was that down to?

I agree, just wouldn’t expect Gana and Garner to be passing between the lines.

 

[MACCA75]

I agree the performance is bad, but at least we got something out of it. We will stay up with our points given back.

We aren’t getting 10 points back. We are more likely to lose more.

 

[dannyboy]

Think he's done well with a poor group of players. You can see the effort is there and we very rarely get taken apart, just a lack of quality in the final third but there's not much he can do about that with what he has at his disposal.

 

[Gilbert..]

I mean i dont expect good football but what i do expect from a dyche team is urgency and fight. Wtf was that for most of that game. They were so far off the pace in terms of wanting to drag palace right into the relegation fight.

 

[chicoazul]

A distinct lack of ambition from the team picked to the execution of it and desire from Everton on the field to win it, against a team in free fall. Gotta go for it sometimes, some signings would have helped. Hope we’ve got enough.

 

[Mrk]

Even the purple patch we had a tough run.

Since our last win away at Burnley we've played City and Spurs twice, Villa and Fulham.

Wolves away was awful out of the lot

Doesn't defend tonight. But let's not press the panic button

This is the thing, I'm not pressing the panic button but pointing out that actually aside from a small spell we've been very poor again for the majority of this season - so it's not like a recent downturn in form - this kind of banal negative performance is the norm for us and something needs to be done about it.

 

[DualityNSNO]

He needs to get over this Ashley Young obsession, quickly.

It's only been said since August, so I doubt it happens.

One year optional extension too btw. He was turning 38 at the time.

 

[pfim]

A distinct lack of ambition from the team picked to the execution of it and desire from Everton on the field to win it, against a team in free fall. Gotta go for it sometimes.

Agreed. Palace was full of pluggers and plodders. Really tame set up
