Not at all. How could his comments ever be interpreted as encouraging and giving confidence to the young players who have been with this club since they were kids and who have invested their hopes for their futures in Everton?

From Liverpool Echo: Speaking ahead of Everton’s trip to Manchester United - where youth product Ellis Simms made a surprise start under Dyche last season - the Blues boss was asked whether he had seen any youngsters he believed were currently good enough to help a squad that has gone winless in...

Styles of play can be changed very quickly. Imagine if Guardiola or Arteta had been there for 6 months, never mind over a year - would the style of play we are seeing in the youth teams be what it is now? I am certain it wouldn't be. I'm sure in all clubs the style of play is set by the manager...

With different progressive coaches we'd see very different footballers. Sadly they are being coached, no doubt under the direction of the manager, to play in the same style as the first team. The woeful acceptance as a club, from first team to youth teams, of a lack of focus on retaining...

Apparently Benitez has said he's willing to come back and give it another go.

I see that from the youth teams SD has only taken Mackenzie Hunt and Lewis Warrington on warm weather training in Portugal. So disappointing that he hasn't taken Jenson Metcalfe or Charlie Whittaker. Whittaker especially seems the type of player who has tricks in his locker to open up defences...

I imagine he'd love to play in that Brighton team.

With his tactics he has managed to destroy the enthusiasm of the crowd completely. I have never been so bored at a game of football as I was last night. And I was not alone in that – the atmosphere was the worst I have ever known it at Goodison and I have been going for over 30 years. He has...

For the last 2 weeks the official website video of training has shown Jensen Metcalfe with the first-team. In last week's video he looked the best player on the training pitch. If we could get ourselves into a position of being 3 or more goals up with 15-20 minutes to go then I think he may be...

That's great news.

Anyone know what injury Charlie Whittaker has and when he's likely to return?

Did the panel take account of the financial penalty they indirectly imposed upon us? Each place is worth £2,200,000 - we dropped 5 place so that equates to £11,000,000. Have the PL ever come close to a financial punishment of that severity?

Bonkers having 2 GKs on the bench but only 1 striker, 1 CMF and 1 winger. In the history of football how many times has a team needed 3 GKs in a game? Where's Dobbin and Keane? SD is one stubborn f***er.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Hughes_(football_manager) If you have watched the way we play under Dyche and for whatever reason believe he is tactically capable of managing our club I suggest you read the above from Wikipedia. You really could write his tactical plan on the back of a...

The brief appearance of Chermitti showed what's wrong with the football SD is playing. The young lad kept running fast to press a Wolves defender who would pass the ball to another defender but that 2nd defender would have no one near him. The young lad was literally looking over to his...

Luca Digne was excellent yesterday – the number of quality crosses into the box was seriously impressive. But imagine him playing in a team managed by Dyche? Fullbacks rarely allowed to advance up the pitch. Overlapping full-back? - not in Dyche's vocabulary. His tactics are frighteningly...

Just wondering about Charlie Whittaker. Anyone know what injury he has and when he is possibly back on the pitch?

Blatantly obvious we need creativity in the midfield. Yesterday showed that again - repeatedly balls hit up to DCL/Maupay with the one issue then being whether they could control them (and if they did all they did was play it backwards). Seldom did anyone hold the ball in the middle and make a...

Having watched training video from yesterday I suspect Garner will play on the left wing, Gana and Onana in the middle with Iwobi on right wing. Doucoure will support DCL.

Quite impressed if we get Adams and Chermiti as it shows long-term planning. Calvert Lewin has 2 years left on his contract. So he will have to be sold next summer or even in the winter transfer window. Adams playing up front will take the pressure off Calvert Lewin so he can get fit and...
