The problem with that, is it will most likely be a new rebuild when dyche goes or is sacked. I know some fans will throw out that dyche style isn’t defensive and look at the XG since he joined and then rave about how Brighton and Brentford do things.
A lot of our chances are most likely from set pieces, which teams will start to work out over time. The DOF and his team should pick the managers and players, so if a manager doesn’t work out for what ever reason,
The new manager has a similar style and can work with similar players. We go from one extreme to the other. And will waste money on dyche’s players and then be stuck with them, all managers are selfish, so dyche won’t care about doucoure getting a new deal and him staying till 34 or Keane for that matter. But this is where the DOF should control things, that’s not to say a manager shouldn’t have input, because of course he should.
Personally I think dyche’s style is defensive,
That doesn’t mean you can’t create chances on 30% possession, but when you play Brentford yes Brentford and have 20% at home in the 2nd half is definitely a worry for me, in the modern game you will never lay a glove on the top half of the prem doing that. And again some on here will say who cares about the top half let’s just have 2/3 seasons not fighting relegation, but plenty of clubs have proved you can from bottom 6 to top half very quickly, with good recruitment and planning. West Ham, Leicester, Brentford, Brighton.
Let’s survive first, but I do think the fans will turn if we start to get dominated with the ball every week at goodison, trying to hang on for dear life at home 1-0 up v , palace, Leeds etc
