I bet City will drop 4 points max the rest of the season.

Not inconceivable that both Luton and Forest win this afternoon which would put Everton in a bit of poo.

It's so funny. Every time he's out of work we hear propaganda about how he's perfectly capable of coaching a different, attacking style of football. And to be fair he does speak well in the long-form interviews I've heard. He does go to other clubs and learn about their training methods and approach.

And yet when he eventually gets another job, it's the same old shit.

I do wonder if he tries to apply it in the beginning but for whatever reason doesnt stick so reverts.

As long as they lose to us but beat Arsenal which sends Arsenal on a downward spiral please.

Calvert Lewin is awful, such a poor footballer. A real shame Arsenal didn't buy him all those years ago.

Funny when he had that excellent season and football fans were saying he should play instead of Kane or up top with him.

Despite it being clear his all round game was significantly worse

 

[tobi]

Haaland bullied that kid.

Dyche's first training session with Everton:

"OK lads, I know you're expecting me to tell you to sit off and hoof it to DCL every chance you get. But we're going to surprise everyone by keeping possession and playing it quickly through the lines."

*five minutes later, with DCL getting injured again in the meantime*

"OK fuck that."

There's not an awful lot of quality in that Everton team, to be fair.

 

[philll]

Rubbish, Kev.

 

[DiamondLites]

I pray Everton and Dyche go down

 

[Westmorlandspur]

It's dyche, his Burnley were the same

I often thought when Dyche was at Burnley, whether he would be different with better players.
No he isn’t is the answer.
Why is it always the British managers who play this sort of football

Cause a lot of them grew up on that. Its deeply ingrained in some of them.

You only have to listen to a lot of the older generation when a team plays out from the back. "Just get it up the pitch".

The younger generation are different though

 

[anydange]

Is it just me or there a crazy lack of clean sheets this season?

Not just us, but the whole league.

 

[jonnyp]

Great cross and finish

Not just us, but the whole league.

97 this season (21.3% CS rate)
207 last season (27.2% CS rate)

Ferguson and Redknapp never played like that though

Is the last season the total or at the same point of this season?

 

[cwy21]

Total. So 5.4 CS per week last season vs 4.2 per week this season.

 

[rossdapep]

True perhaps it is where they grew up or what they came out of.

Allardyce and Dyche played lower league so would have had a lot os scrappy football.

Redknapp came out of WH, where they tried to play football.

Redknapp also was inspired by Arsenal and Spurs as a kid and watched them a lot.

Pulis, Megson, Allardyce, Warnock etc etc all came from that "stick one on them" kind of environment.

Suicidal pass there Elanga, very nice finish again
