Great freekick. Should Watford have had a man on that side in the goal? Not sure how often you see that but it looked like there was so much space in the goal there and Foster was completely committed to the other side. Just looked a bit easy for Prowse there, if he got it up and down anywhere on that left side it was a goal.

Ings looking incredibly sharp. I like him because he's a clever striker too, makes really good use of the ball.

Might get flack for this but I think Sean Dyche is an incredible manager. The way he's developed the Burnley players and the organisation they have is top drawer. He gets alot of stick for his playing style but I actually think its the closest thing to Pochball since the man himself.

I'd be very keen to see him take over an Everton, Crystal Palace or Southampton where he'd get more backing and a chance to work with more flair players.

The TV app doesn't let you change the audio but the mobile app does, I'm casting from my phone.

Actually, I don’t mind the ‘audience’ in the background. Imo it’s better than hearing the ecco from the ground and continously shouting from the players

He certainly doesn't get the credit he deserves and is a lot more progressive than he is assumed to be.
I'd also like to see him take a step up to see what he could do. He may be one of those mangers who's better with smaller names and less expectation but I'd like to see him given a go somewhere like the clubs you suggest.

Managers like him and Eddie Howe really should be moving themselves on yet they get in their well paid comfort zones and don’t. Howe is paying the price for that this season. Another problem they have is that they seemingly are restricted to only working in England. I might be wrong and they speak other languages, but why not learn one so you can try yourself abroad and not limit yourself to one league.

That's a good point but sometimes, moving abroad just doesn't appeal to some people.
It could also be said that they are stuck where they are because they aren't given opportunities at "bigger clubs".

Absolutely. I think the managers of basically every team below the supposed top six will think long and hard before they switch out e.g. a Burnley for an Everton, if they're doing well at the former the chances of damaging their reputation are extremely high.

Cards on the table, I wouldn't mind if we tried Dyche after Mourinho, I think he's a great character, the work he does seems to be very thorough and I think he'd evolve his own style of coaching if he had better players and a bigger budget to work with. I just listened to his appearance on the Peter Crouch podcast and he sounds like an absolutely brilliant and likeable guy who really gets his players as people as well as being able to get the best out of them as footballers. And I'd love the fan reaction if we hired Dyche, it would be hilarious to see so many toys thrown out of prams because he's not "good enough" for us, as if that means anything.

Howe I'm not so keen on primarily because he has spent relatively big money very badly and he's never shown any ability to purchase good defenders and organise a good defence.
