That’s far too easy though mate. The manager averages 1.2 goals per game over 400 games
The problem is front everyone’s eyes but it’s just easier to blame the players and not what, or how, they are being coached

I dont think you can coach limited players to be better ones mate. There are limits. You can improve probability sure through practice and patterns,, but overall quality, im not sure not be the margins thats its panacea. We have limited quality in my opinion.
We sold our quality in fact some clapped it out the door or told uss we had to sell it, now were moaning because we cant score.
What did we think would happen.
I think the bold is becoming more and more of an issue right now, to be honest. It's inevitable that when a team has such an impressively bad run of results and the manager basically refuses to change anything of substance, the players must start to question his methods. You can only buy into the talk for so long if the results don't follow.
It looks to me like some of the players might be starting to check out just a bit.
Well Dyche makes excuses, you make excuses and fail to see what’s in front of you.
Clearly buying Danny Ings will resolve our issues

I’m genuinely astonished at much Dyche is looking to peg this on the players and take no responsibility for the coaching.
Calvert Lewin scored 36 goals in 50 games under Carlo.
But sure, its not the Manager.

It’s what limited managers do, Allardyce was the king of it.
Good managers find solutions to problems.
People took the piss out of klopp for hiring a throw-in coach
He’s no Danny Ings though
Danny Ings sorts this entire thing out
*Our.
So will he resolve all our issues??

It's on both. Having an insufficient tactical approach to attacking and players not having the quality to finish. Maybe there is a new impulse needed.
We get a lot of shots, 23 today, 22 vs West Ham, 6 vs Brighton, 19 vs Crystal, 5 vs Man City, 14vs Spurs, that's a total of 89 shots in 6 games, averaging 15 per game. It's a good value generally and not the problem.
But how many of these shots have been dangerous, probably 15-20 maximum. Going deeper. We scored 5 goals out of them, which means we need about 18 shots to score 1 goal. That's a horrible value. Only one goal out of these was from open play (vs West Ham, 4 were after set pieces Tottenham, Brighton and Palace). That's my biggest worry.
Not the amount of shots is problematic, but the quality of chances we create. In the end, it's one of the manager's tasks to set up a plan that is conducive for that, which mostly isn't by Dyche, but also the responsibility of the players to finish chances. I do think we must have ended with 8-10 goals at least in these 6 games, but the reality is we didn't.
It really is this simple. With Dyche, it's all excuses this, excuses that. All 23+ players in the squad are the worst that ever played in the league, yada yada.
At the end of the day, with managers, some are just winners and some are not. This one has proven through a rather long career to be the latter.
Of course you can improve players - but that’s not the argument. We’re not asking these players to be world beaters, just return to their previously recorded mean.
We were scoring, we stopped scoring and the manager is scratching his head because he doesn’t think it’s his problem.
If you want to surrender to fate and hope things improve without any coaching, by all means be my guest.

I will be that masochist for one day.
5 points from 11 games - we are joint top for giving pens away - our fullbacks were atrocious today ....
