First time since 2020-21 season that Toffees have won consecutive PL away matches.

In fairness to Dyche he is trying to get them to push up. Unlucky Beto

Patterson for young. Almost had a stroke when I thought it was Doucs

Unsure that Dyche is telling them to sit back. Doubt he told McNeil and Harrison to turn into ghosts. Do think Dyche just needs to be braver on hooking some of his favorite players for legs at times.

Should never guess always clear in that situation.

Nothing that I saw. Probably a bit precautionary and tactical. Onana coming back from injury and Gana has been ok since he has been on. Less space for Eze now but he is still a threat.

plaidharper reacted to duncanmckenzieismagic in Board/Owners Related Stuff
Why do supporters need to come up with the solutions????
My stance is quite simple, I’m all for us getting sold but I think it’s right and proper that any red flags are highlighted and investigated before it’s too late and we end up as the new Blackburn Rovers or Sunderland
it is then up to 777 to allay those fears and provide evidence to the powers that be that they are credible owners and that it’s not a leveraged buy out which would put us even further in the shit
If they do that then fine we will all be happy but if they can’t then the deal should and will be blocked
No Idea why you are getting arsey about it, you are clearly happy to sell to any Tom, Dick or Harry no matter the consequences whilst others want to make sure we get this right and do full due diligence so let’s just leave it there

He is drawing attention to the fact 777 could be a disaster for us and backing up his opinion with cold hard facts so it’s a million miles from being bullshit
I don’t get why he gets so much stick, he predicted this mess we are in a long time ago and just got abuse from the ‘it’s not your money’ brigade
He was right then and looks to be right now
It’s fair enough if you are not arsed about this type of thing but I think he is dead right to be drawing attention to it

plaidharper reacted to Romey 1878 in Sean Dyche
I said myself I wouldn't go again until he was gone if he was kept on beyond that season. I could not have coped with any more time listening to him have a go at the fanbase in interviews after playing the most awful football imaginable. I mean, when you go a couple of games without even having a shot on goal you know it's terrible. Nothing that we've shown under Dyche is comparable to what that twat put us through. Nothing. In fact, for the most part I've been pleasantly surprised with the football.
Fortunately, Bisto Tits was never, ever going to stay beyond the end of that season. He was there to milk us and then fuck off.

No, not whatever. That kind of bullshit is exactly why we had and have such issues and continues to lead to preventable deaths. If you want to make wild statements like that, please provide some evidence.

plaidharper reacted to duncanmckenzieismagic in Sean Dyche
To be fair you are not the first and won’t be the last to pigeonhole Dyche as some sort of latter day Tony Pullis but the fact remains none of us know whether or not he has the ability to evolve his tactics with the team
He had nine years at Burnley where he wasn’t afforded the luxury of trying to play more expansive football due to the financial restrictions he was working under and did an excellent job there
He has come here and is arguably operating under even tighter restrictions and he has succeeded in getting a tune out of a squad that many more illustrious manages failed dramatically to
So personally I think he has earned the right to try and take us forward

the biggest flaw I see in your argument is that you assume that if you stick Klopp or Postecogle in charge of this Everton squad it would mean you instantly get Liverpool and Spurs - it would be pretty far from it. In Klopps first season in charge of Liverpool I beleive they went backward 2 places in the league. That would see us relegated. We have NO margin for error.
The players in this sqaud are best set up for being solid out of possession, playing a big man upfront, getting crosses in or hitting teams on the counter attack.
Why, for the sake of it, put a manager in with a totally different playing style if you don't have money to solidly back him over two or three transfer windows to bring in 4-6 quality player to allow you to safely change the playing philosophy of a sqaud. We don't have the money to do this or have the luxury of being able to afford losing 2-3 places in the Premier league as this new style beds in.
We need to become a solid mid table team first, get the new owners bedded in, stadium finished and our revenue streams all sorted first, before we should really be concerning oursevles massivly about having a manager who favours progressive football over effective football.

plaidharper reacted to RuffRob in Sean Dyche
sounds like you have a fairly blinkered and preconceeded idea of Dyche.
I have seen a manager actually managed to notibley improve the Everton team this summer. Given the tools and conditions he is working under I think he deserves massive credit for improving and galavanizing this team and getting all those player actually playing for the shirt. He has said from day 1 it starts with sweat on the shirts - and his team are delivering this at an ever increasing consistency.
This club has been crying out for some sort of stability, so to simply sack a relatievly successful manager after 18months purely in order to bring in a more fashionable one who has a polar opposite 'progressive' possession based style would simply be foolhardy. We have seen the fall out of chopping and changing managers and styles - why on earth would we do that again if we finally have the oppertunity of a period of some stability.
Do we have the players capable of playing a possession based game? or do we have the budget to bring in players who could to this at Premiership level?
