Not a fan of the name, at all. Just going to keep calling it Bramley Moore - feels truer to the club's identity.

Agreed. We've been crap for years, long before Dyche, it's just that after the highs and lows of escaping relegation for years, everyone's just exhausted. Guess it's "keep it tight at the back and get a new premier league stadium" (KITABGNPLS).

Agreed. I don't see much different from last season, except we can play a bit more football and we've leaked bad goals last few games. As if changing the manager going to change the mess we've been in for a while now. No one's happy, but in football things change for no apparent reason and it's...

I don't see why he can't improve. Don't have to be young to improve, and he hasn't played that many seasons in the PL.

Harrison seems to suit how we play under Dyche...hardworking and learning defensively. If he keeps improving going forward, then I'd say it's about where we are in terms of what we can afford and who we can expect. A positive, with a bit of a caveat....

For some reason, this save of the season list really bothers me. First that's not Pickford's best save, IMO. He made a save at Villa away this season, where he tips Diaby's volley on to the post at very short range. Diaby absolutely smacks it from 6-yards out, and Pickford somehow keeps it out...

Was mildly impressive by Odobert at Burnley. Need a bit of pace out wide. The sort of 19-year-old prospect who might be worth a try, if the money is doable (probably not...)

Yes, we are pretty dreadful right now. But we'd be on 29 points and pretty comfortable without the 10pt deduction - and that's nothing to do with Dyche. 29 points with this limited squad is solid enough. Not saying Dyche is a long-term solution but he's done pretty well.

One of those games where it could have gone either way, just needed a decent fifth penalty. Despite what Dyche says, the players do look tired, unsurprisingly. Intensity of press was not there. Hopefully, Spurs are in the same boat, with their injuries. I see some people are saying we won't...

The thing I don't get about the Dyche bashing is: the thinking that we should somehow be playing a brand of football that we've rarely played, and when we tried to play it, folks ripped into the manager, eg, e.g., Martinez, for pointless possession and going nowhere with the ball. It was just...

Sorry, can't agree with this. That Dyche kept this squad in the Premier League is, for me, one of the standout achievements of an Everton manager, since Moyes. Our squad is small, limited skill-wise, and mostly mentally weak. Ok, not like there's been a ton of competition in the manager awards...

Sounds about right. As a senior player he’d be on big wages, but guess Dyche wants to spend those wages and first team regulars. Clearly, we are skint….

We had a good pattern of play first half, until Patterson went off injured, and then DCL followed shortly after. That messed things up hugely. But a point, after going behind and looking empty up front, is at least something.

Who knows if a point will be enough, ultimately. But one shred of hope: looks like the team is figuring out how to play with DCL's in the side. Finally movement and a bit threat up front. Woo hoo.....

I take your point, but apart from Tark. none of our center backs are up to much. Hobson's choice.

The biggest problem is the mix'n'match squad that is just flat out poor. Dyche basically couldn't sign anyone in the two days he had, and now he's stuck with these players. I bet he thinks some are utter garbage who wouldn't be anywhere near a starting 11 under normal conditions, but it is what...

Agreed. The team I keep thinking of is Leeds, circa 2004. Relegation, financial meltdown and dropping down to the third tier. And that's a much better scenario than my other example, Sheff Wed....long term fixture of the top flight, get relegated, and have not looked like coming back since. At...

Sorry, but Hibbert was absolutely and categorically not better than Coleman. Hibbert was a player of his time, in a team of its time. Gritty and defensively minded. Maybe not so much now, but Coleman offered miles more going forward.

McNeil = this year's Alex Iwobi.

Sorry, but not having that. I get it that you think he should stay on his line rather than try and narrowly the angle/create pressure. Entitled to your opinion, good luck to you. But an error? Nope.
