We need to talk about Nottingham Forest.

One of my favourite things about the narratives surrounding Dyche is how he replaced a poor defensive coach whose defense had been allowing 1.4 goals per game over the league season, and in the rest of the season with the exact same personnel available he improved that to 1.6 goals allowed per game. As in, the defense got worse under his watch than it was under a poor defensive coach. (Unless I miscalculated, which I don't think I did; it looks like Lampard got 20 games, in which we allowed 28 goals, and Dyche got 18, in which we allowed 29 goals.)

And if those figures are correct, that’s with Dyche essentially putting a lot more men behind the ball so they keep their ‘shape’

This howler isn’t on Dyche tbf


Still hilarious mind!

It is when he benched his starter to play that keeper.

A six a side team to save the world? From what, poverty via execution? :/

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Not controlling the controllables again eh Sean?

Get them in for a Gaffers Day tomorrow running through the mud on the Trent riverbank.

Clearly not Dyche-fit.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Eh?

If Dyche has ever talked Everton and Everton supporters down the way this current manager of ours has Ild like to see the evidence.

yeah, that evidence you are so allergic at finding. ha ha ha :/

 

[Rita_Poon]

No, he voted for George Galloway

 

[RomanReigns]

Dyche benched last years team of the season goalkeeper sels for a clown

Great team selection once again from the mastermind

 

[Rita_Poon]

They're opponents that we cant play - they earned the right to play in that tournament and we watch others every midweek playing in it.

So I wouldn't look too far down that nose.

I thought Palace earned it. But I'm old school like that. I'm sure you've evidence galore to support your gibberish. :/

 

[Rita_Poon]

Dyche has won against European opposition like Porto - currently riding high at the top of the Portuguese League.

Ilm not sure why playing teams like that are not more than capable of being compared with some of the dross in the PL.

7 wins from his first 15 in charge.

That's just how it is.

:/

Well he is a notts forest boy so choosing thatcher is no surprise from them

 

[derek duvall]

What do you make of Moyes comments like knife to a gunfight and saying we'd need to be at our best and Newcastle at their worst when they were below us...

He also puts Everton as the underdog as much as he can. Complains about recruitment (which he ran) and makes it sound like everything is an uphill struggle.

Sounds like with so many of them doing this it could be a common personality trait or media training?

He doesn’t run recruitment. Stop talking nonsense

 

[blue to the bone]

He's not obsessed about Dyche at all though

 

[Rita_Poon]

No he didn't, this is nonsense from people who hate him and will twist anything that comes out of his mouth. He made a crap joke about the bottled drink on the table and some seriously tried making out that was him having a pop at us FFS.

He has a bit smug personality which definitely isn't most people's cup of tea, including mine. He can really grate with daft one-liners. But he has never purposely disrespected the club.

I've taken them as far as I can
The players aren't doing what I ask
I want my pay off, and more importantly my survival bonus even though someone else has earned it.

It's not a pretty picture.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Ha Ha Ha.

Yeah, that was a bit of a fabrication like. However, you cant stack that up against Moyes calling Everton fans a disgrace for wanting investment in and Kenwright out.

That's a man who also ignored our greatest ever manager and kept him out in the cold.

Morally repugnant as far as Ilm concerned. Others might differ...

Watching @davek take everyone on, in support of Dyche, reminds me of Aragorn in 'The Return of the King' when he is prepared to take on the forces of Sauron single handed!

That's funny, I see it as more of an Annabel Chong story, like the 'Womens Euro's' thread.
