Dyche dealt a bad hand? Last season 100%. This season, not so much. He had a far better hand dealt him this season in terms of coherent squad recruitment with players able to play his style compared to either Rafael or Frank. He’s got players...

Sean Dyche was dealt an abysmal hand. He took over a poor squad and he found a way to get points, it was by playing very negatively but it worked. Then, the teams playing against us worked out his tactics and they stopped producing. Our players...

He's not the only manager whose approach amounts to flogging the players hard until they can't give any more, and then accepting that the rest of the season is basically a write-off (O'Neill was the same at Villa). On that basis, you could argue...

He can't played a weighted pass to save his life to be honest - only to feet is where he's decent at. We don't have bombing full backs or anything but the amount of times Mykolenko has half a field ahead of him and starts his sprint, only to...

I've been on the side of stability, meaning that the club is in no position to hire anyone worth the job, and no one worth the job would be inclined to take it with so much uncertainty and no transfer budget. But it's looking more and more...

I mean, I wouldn’t call this “doing a good job”. W L W L L D W D D L L D L D W L D W L L L D L W L W L W D L W W W W L L L D D D D D L L Difficult circumstances: brought in 4 attacking players in the summer, Dom back fit, brought Doucoure...

1. What do you call a player that lacks positional awareness to such a degree that opposition teams actively target them to create opportunities for crosses from the position they are suppose to be defending? 2. Gueye has the ability to press...

Difficult to shine in midfield, in a team that doesn't play through it's midfield.

Not unlikely, that's been my opinion since day 1 of him coming here lol feels crap being right about the gut feeling of "he's literally Sean Dyche and he will not improve" to be honest - I said it ages ago but I'd have loved to be wrong and for...

Even without the points deduction we'd be in 13th place equal with the mighty Bournemouth and 4 points behind fulham playing the worst football in the league. He's lucky some are easily pleased.

Not really ASAP - it's been on him to sort since the start of the season, but he hasn't and he likely won't. We're preparing for a relegation fight and 38 draws with him in charge, that's his ceiling. Any other manager having the same football...
