2023/24 Sean Dyche

Dyche isn't pragmatic though, he's got a dogmatic way of playing. Pep Guardiola also has a dogmatic way of playing, it's just a very different one.

As you can see with Kompany and Burnley this season, Dyche's style is more accustomed to a dogfight with fairly limited footballers, although Everton have more quality than Burnley in most areas.

If you gave Dyche £100m to spend in the summer then the football next season would remain broadly the same.
When you say ‘broadly the same ‘ I assume you mean largely non-existent?
 
His home record is dire .
If he can’t improve that by Christmas he will become deeply unpopular regardless of our league position.

Away record is far better though. Won more away this season than we have in the last two seasons combined. Won 4 games away from home over two full seasons previously. I suppose thats dyche all over though. He sets a team up to be solid.
 
3rd lowest scorers In the league
Only 3 wins at home all season
Longest winless streak in the league
Lowest amount of goals scored from open play
I think the lack of goal is also due to the tactic needs.
Compare with last year or at the beginning of season, the mid sit more deeper.
The two wingers do not give enough support to the front line. DCL or Beto always need to face 4 defenders themselves.
It makes the striker hard to find the confidence and fitness to score.
That is why Doucoure is very important.

Dyche should adjust this tactics. Using Garner or Gomes control the ball to face with weaker opponents to release Mcneil and Harrison on attacking.

He’s reasonably competent at smash and grab football , which suits us away from home when the onus is on the home team to attack.
But the basis of any ,even moderately, successful side is the home results .
The majority of supporters regularly attend the home games and expect better results and performances than he has delivered thus far.
At times his style of football negates one of the biggest home advantages, the vociferous home support.
I don’t think the manager of any club can post poor home result’s indefinitely regardless of league position.
 

@Zatara you’re clueless mate you obviously don’t watch football, just sitting in your ma’s box room looking at data sheets.
Potter got Brighton to 9th with maupay playing up front

Imagine we we’re bottom 3 with maupay up front , you dyche fan boys would say we’ve got maupay upfront what do expect from old dychey baby he ain’t a miracle worker

Also this is 2024 not 1994, ale house tactics ain’t laying a glove on the European places in this day and age. Brighton are still challenging from them positions, having lost more than half their first 11 in 18 months

And his first signing would be Harrison for 20mil

In summary, Dyche has done an outstanding job setting up the defence and making us a set piece danger at the cost of open play attacks.

They scored 42 goals that season. We scored 43. They were primarily defensively solid, played with low risk, and produced a lot of low quality chances that inflated xG. Potter continued the same trend at Chelsea, presenting the most predictable and boring football (low risk) ever to be played at Stamford Bridge.

De Zerbi has done a phenomenal job in Brighton. At the same time, he came to a club that is well run, and was among the best in the class in terms of recruitment. Dyche came to a club in complete disintegration, which the club still is, suffering from years of poorly run club operations, and has been among the worst when it comes to recruitment.

I watched with my own eyes potter had Brighton playing better football than what we’re plying and like I said he had maupay up front. If dyche got the Brighton job he’d turn them into Everton/burnley Witt un a few months

It was better football than in the majority of the Dyche time here. Their scouting is outstanding and is a role model for a lot of clubs. De Zerbi has a brilliant plan A, most of time it works, then it's something people are panting for, but he also lacks adapting often when it doesn't work like, which resulted in games like 5:1 vs us, 6:1 vs Villa or 4:0 in Luton.

If Dyche does not change his mind to risk more to control the ball in a game, he would only bring us to mid table.
Extremely defending tactic cannot success in a long season.
To climb up the table, Dyche needs to build up a more efficient counter attack system and control the ball more especially against a weaker side.
 
He's afraid of losing more than he wants to win... starts out battling for a draw every game and hopes the team can snatch a goal largely from set pieces, if we don't he knows little by the way of changing the system other than throw Beto on and hope.
He might well suit what we need right now to keep us up, but he's going to offer zero progress for our club, and he's going to bleed the eyes off 95% of fans at GP each weekend.

Problem is I think danjuma and dobbin would suit counter attacking more than McNeil and Harrison, but he never plays them. Also having better attacking full backs would also help from that point of view, will dyche buy them type of players. I doubt he will, I think if he gets some money on the summer he will buy Harrison, which would be a massive waste of money imo
