Horrible style, but still better than last few seasons.
I was highly dubious about him from the start. Called him the Ginger Brent, thought his tactics were shit, couldn’t stand hearing him speak. Obviously had to pipe down given the successful end to last season and the fact that we saw a big upturn in general performance compared to Lampard.
Part of me still thinks that stability is key and sticking with a reliable manager is necessary. All managers have freak results and you need to take a longer view.
Even if we sacked Dyche, we know we don’t have a replacement lined up. It’d be more limbo.
If we go down this year it’s due to points deduction, not Dyche.
...it's really an impossible job for anyone right now. Yes I'm sure a better coach could do better with these players after a year or so in charge, but we're not an attractive proposition for a better coach and weren't a year ago, let alone have the money.
No doubt Dyche having Burnley stable was aided by off-field stability.
With the predicament we are in, and everyone knowing that the likes of Onana and Braithwaite will probably have to be sold to enable us to avoid future PSR-related points deductions is hardly conducive to a cohesive team environment.
Dyche is not the main problem at Everton, it's years and years of awful decision making coming home to roost, most of it long-mooted by many fans.
...because there is no money to sack him.
Watching it all unravel is a pitiful sight. Players wandering around with no energy, no clue and no confidence and three beaten men on the sideline huddling together to point at things but basically knowing they are out of ideas (and probably wishing they could just be sacked so they can get on with their lives).
A new manager probably wouldn't turn the form around, but the current set up DEFINITELY won't.
