2024/25 Sean Dyche - Sacked

[Sheedy's right knee.]

I see people all the time saying we don’t have the players for a bit more attacking or expansive football but clearly we don’t have them for hoofball in the trenches either seems to be.

I agree mate, I think this squad of players are capable of more. But I also think they are not going to be 1970s Brazil with a wave of a wand. I think unless we’ve got a solid plan it would be foolhardy to change the manager unless it’s a necessity.

I should have reframed the word our limitations with his limitations. Apologies in advance

Just imagine in a years time from now we've only won 8 league games would everyone accept that?

Pragmatism, apparently.

 

[TheBigIguana]

How would you set up against Arsenal at the Emirates? I'm genuinely very curious.

It's not about one game here or there. Sure when you play Arsenal away you are going to have long periods where you're under it and it is genuinely good that Dyche has a team that can be under it and not fold. You need to have that and he does.

But even in games away to good teams you have to have your own moments and periods on top. Or you have to be a real threat in transition and when opportunities to counter appear. Otherwise 0-0 is all you can ever really get. Maybe the occasional 1-0.

And then there's the very important question of what about all the games that aren't Arsenal away? Do we really look that different? That's where you start to have a problem.

 

[John from Bootle]

Pragmatism, apparently.

You do get points for draws y'know Bry!

A few more wins would be nice, but it's not like we're losing every week. We've lost 6 out of 15. Or 22 out of the last 53. Or 29 of Dyche's 71 matches in charge. Pragmatism indeed.

 

[Gilbert..]

Are we first on motd?

 

[chicoazul]

I think a courageous point at Arsenal buys him another month.

A few more wins would be nice mate. But yes we are far from having a team full of goal scoring players.

This isn't about today's game, this is a general comment. How would you set up against Southampton? I'm genuinely very curious.

Dyche’s Burnley side went down in 2021/22 because they drew 14 games and only won 7.

 

[windymiller]

You were saying it wasn't pragmatic in September. You said we were conceding too many goals to use the word pragmatic. Now we're not conceding many you're saying it's not pragmatic, just cowardice,

It wasn't pragmatic in December, it's not pragmatic now. It was cowardice in September, it is cowardice now. He's doing cowardice a bit better now that he has Branthwaite back, that's all. He's a coward of a manager. Then, now, and always.

Now do the stats again, but instead of stating how many we've lost out of 15 or 53 games do it with how many we've won.

 

[Victus]

You sound gutted we drew you know.

also we should have beat Saints if Ramsdale wasn't on one and Beto wasn't a donkey from 6 yards out.

 

[windymiller]

You sound gutted we drew you know.

Happy with a point at the Emirates. Not happy that we play like that in every single game. He'll play like this against Chelsea and Man City and I sincerely hope we will scrape a point in each of those matches too but, eventually, we'll have to win a game. Probably 5 more wins, I reckon, care to share which games you would be targeting for those wins?
