We don’t concede a lot of goals because we defend deep, don’t commit men forward and launch long balls rather than playing through the lines.
All the same reasons why we don’t score many goals.
We are miles off those 2 sides presently.
This is a different argument, I agree things can change quickly,
With good
Owners, recruitment, sponsorship deals the new ground etc.
But you also need a very good manager, dyche can’t take us to the next level imo,
Because of his limited style and approach
If there is a gap between us and them, it's a gap that both of those clubs were able to overcome within a very short period of time having been in our position not long ago, and they both coincided with positive takeovers of the respective clubs (Newcastle and Villa).
I hate this idea that Everton's recovery must take far longer than their recovery, and that our recovery has to come in the form of incremental improvement over several years, and that we are incapable of replicating the swift improvements seen at Villa and Newcastle.
Dyche will probably get another season, but it's just a matter of time before our new overlords replace him with an upgrade imo.
But even with Dyche, I think we created more than enough chances to score winning goals last season, and the reason that we never did was more due to our attackers being donkeys than our style of play.
Sort our attack out and we can compete with the likes of Newcastle imo, never mind Brighton, who finished on the exact same points as Everton last season.
