The bookies are correct

You have an awful defensive authoritarian, who over the course of his managerial career has aspired to 1 point and 1 goal a game, then I guess you plug that into the algorithm and the results will be expect failure

Colour me completely unsurprised that the bookies had Sean Dyche down to finish 16th.

Good to see if finally being acknowledged that Dyche's approach amounts to crossing his fingers and hoping the other team slips on a banana peel.

Dyche average 1.1 point a game as a Premier League manager, equals about 41 points a season, which is usually 15th/16th place.

Its not rocket science that the bookies worked that out is it?

Who’d have thunk a bit of Latin would upset so many people…..

I still aspire and believe in the words, unfortunately for me, and that’s on the full understanding that we’ve been appallingly ran by a semi-useful accountant of an oligarch and the biggest blagger that ever walked the face of the earth, and have average to middling players because of said way we’ve been ran.

Those Latin words won’t allow me to absolve this fraud manager of any responsibility for how we are setting up and playing, even with our average squad, which contains amongst others, Englands number one and the best young CB in world football.

we held Benitez to account, why not Dyche?

 

[TonyDefc]

I notice he hasn't added, we were likely favorites at home to Bournemouth & away to Southampton in which we received 0 points

It's in literally the next sentence mate!

He was manager of Burnley, how many points is a Burnley manager supposed to get?

It's like saying Guardiola would win the league with them because of his record at City, isn't it?

If we're criticising him for some of the awful football we play I'll join in all day. But the odds are the way they are because we have a limited squad. The same way City start the season favourites because of theirs.

Excuse me, what??



Head patters unite

Poor little Everton overcoming the monumental task of not getting beat by West Ham, Leicester and Newcastle

These are literally the odds mate, one of the most accurate indicators of probability.

It's not that we can't get results against these teams. But our current team is not expected to. You've got to be a decent side to be fancied away from home, and we aren't!

Every single person who is on this forum joined on one day.

How come you only joined the forum today mate?

And to write an article echoing the same things the bossman's been writing in the Dyche thread for about a month, same points and all... Hm...

Well written anyway, and welcome to the forum @TonyDefc

Who backed us to take “1 or 2 points at best” from Leicester, Ipswich, West Ham and Newcastle? Are you saying you think we are quite literally the worst team in the league and realistically should expect to pick up about 15 points all season?

Yes mate, if Sean Dyche was managing any other team I’d expect them to get beat or draw the majority of his games considering that’s how he approaches and sets up.

 

[DualityNSNO]

Also we're now using bookies odds as the next cope, which is surprising.

 

[Yarrgh]

I wanted to see Everton and then I saw them,
And Heaven knows I'm miserable now....

The bookies did. Three of those were away games so that affects it as well. Leicester and Ipswich won't be favourites at Goodison, but at their place they were around 13/10 and we were 2/1.

I'm not suggesting they are insurmountable odds, just trying to illustrate how often we view our chances as being better than they realistically are.
