Sean Dyche

[London Blue]

We played very well, a good mix of possession, passing and no nonsense football.

I think he may be just what we need, I feel much much better after watching his first game.

COYB!!

Excellent result. We didn’t have a lot of possession, but we nicked a goal and that’s all we need. Hope we can sustain those energy levels for the remainder of the season. 

I think the energy levels were amazing considering they have only been training with him since Monday. I thought they might fade towards the end of the match.

I didn't think he would getting us playing as good as that after a few days in the job and a transfer window closing to boot. 

Wasn't just a smash and grab against the team at the top of the Premiership - I could have been a bigger win. 

There will be a revitalized  spring in every bodies step this week. 

Cracking start for him

Dyche's Dogs of War!

Massively unfair shout that, even though I know it wasn't meant that way.

The Dogs of War kicked lumps out of the opposition, lets be honest, and that isn't what we did today. Not at all.

I thought about this at the game today, if you’ve watched it and how he likes his teams to press one side of the pitch it’s exactly what we did today

I have to admit I was very nervous at the sight of Saka constantly in acres of space but tbf it worked

I saw the possession stats, but it didn't seem like that at all, such was our energy.

What did we do to them Mark? 
I’m here for positive Everton vibes and if you’re giving them we all need it!!

We certainly didn't just kick them. We shut them down and we were aggressive, but in no way were we over the top. If anything they were the dirtier side.

[Romey 1878]

We Evertonians aren't ones for getting carried away but if he manages to turn things around then I'll happily be singing 'Dyche Dyche Baby' at the top of my lungs.

His style suits these players to a tee - as long as they are willing to put in the effort. When we had the ball, we were so much more effective with it and the quality of chances we created were clearer.

Finished with 12 shots and 4 big chances. As long as we keep that up we’ll stay competitive.

It’s almost like we were the better team, against the best team in the country. Madness!!!

There’s no question that, on the day, we were the better team. This was no fluke win. 

[Palfy]

It was simple football by Dyche and the clearest change was when we lost possession every man raced to get back into a defensive set up and not allowing Arsenal the freedom to play through us, no one was just strolling back as we have been guilty of in the past, even DCL not once was he caught offside through laziness, then when the time was right we pressed as a team not just 2 or 3 which forced them back which they aren't use to, and when they surrendered possession we were in their half in force, I honestly can't remember the last time I've seen so many blue shirts in and around the oppositions box. The biggest challenge for any manager is getting all the players to accept and carry out your instructions, Dyche in his first game managed to do that, which says a lot about his man management skills, and yesterday's result will have reinforced into the players heads that he knows his stuff and they will willingly follow his instructions. When they came off at halftime Steve Stones waited to congratulate every player with a pat on the back for the way they had performed, nothing clever or hard about that, but again so simple and yet so effective players thrive off of recognition of a job well done. I think Dyche and his team are going to get the best out of these players as individuals and a team, whether that is good enough to keep us up remains to be seen, but at least we won't have failed for lack of trying and that should be a massive comfort for every Evertonian watching players living up to our motto.

True, but like most of our wins against the top 6, it’s always that they had an off day, it’s never that we were the better team.

Everyone, stop what you're doing. Bailey has liked this! He thinks we were the better team in a game!

THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL!

[Newty82]

Just listening to his post match interviews and, regardless of it being Everton, its actually good to have Dyche back. Seemed an ever present in recent years and gives proper interviews. Only 51 aswell. Still young thar considering how long he's been around.

One of his instructions was clear. 
Play football in the opposing half. 
 

Im gonna say it…… can we still make Europe?

No, gap is too big. Top 10 is still perfectly feasible looking at the table and assuming we keep a striker fit. 

[Newty82]

....I'd be buzzing with 10th - 12th and being clear of relegation as early as possible for this season!

Yeah, lets not leave it until two games from the end of the season!

Palace was great but I would like to never experience that hell again.

[London Blue]

I'm all for being optimistic, and I feel positive about Dyche, but lets just get clear of relegation first before we talk about top 10!

[Hafnia]

Long way to go yet. I think dyche will be well aware that this group of players have put out performances with yesterday’s effort for lampard only to revert to piss poor application In other games. I think his post match interview was mindful of that, he didn’t blow smoke up their backsides merely recognised their buyin and appreciated it. 

we seen when dcl went off that we are badly in need of a target man to cover him, shithousery from maupay isn’t gonna cover it. 
 

not sure if simms has that to his game, I’m sure he will be taking a look at it. Will cannon we worth a recall? 

[badaids]

Dyche summed it up perfectly: It's a start.

And so did Winston Wolf: let's not start sucking each other's dicks just yet.

No doubt there'll be a fair few poor results along the way, but if we can show that level of intensity and stick to the pla n we'll be okay.

[Sibdane]

We need to consistently play like we did yesterday. I’m still worried about the new manager bounce and not 100% convinced by this squad, but if yesterday is any indication of what’s to come then we seem to have a hand that will finally stabilize us. 

Just seems like I’ve felt this a few times before in the last few years, so I’ll eagerly(and patiently) wait to see what comes next.

Is it possible to wait both eagerly and patiently at the same time?
