Will dyche ever
Take a cup seriously?
Very poor. Negative. The system and even passion was abysmal.
Flat back 5. Small striker alone up top. A completely left footed left back at right back.

I doubt it.
He's said time and time again it's not the priority.
Why people bother going on the cup games baffles me
It's not like he doesn't make it clear what to expect, which at least is honest and open. He doesn't try and hoodwink anyone.

Today was really poor even by his standards. So glad I decided against going, after going to Burton and sitting through the Barnsley game this season not sure I'll be able to find the motivation to go to another cup game under Dyche unless his attitude to cup games changes.

Re: Will dyche ever
In my opinion he rightly used an almost impossible game to win to give game time to fringe players and those returning from injury.
Dyche is judged by our league position, you only have to read this board to see that. If he feels that resting some of our players in an un-winnable game will give us a 1% better chance of taking something at Old Trafford in 3 days time then he’s done the right thing.

It’ll hinder him ever getting a bigger job.
The clubs you’d expect to be looking at him would want to do well in cup competitions. He was even touted as a possible England manager not so long ago.

If his remit was weighted towards him performing well in cup competitions then I fancy he would take cup games more seriously. As it clearly isn’t it’s understandable that he prioritises the league.BurnleyFC wrote:It’ll hinder him ever getting a bigger job.

We have been knocked out of the FA cup by Man City the past two seasons now. Hardly shameful.

Re: Will dyche ever
Looked a decent enough side for me bearing in mind we have 2 injured right backs that were never gonna play . Defour and Brady our 2 most creative players were played as was McNeil and Vydra .Also no issues with Pope and Gibson either . If anyone seriously thinks starting with other combos of our championship level rabble would have made much difference against a simply world class club side they need their heads sorting out or to go easy on the crack or at least have a good sob into their half n half scarves

Re: Will dyche ever
I think the stat that we committed one foul in the entire game tells us all we need to know.
But if we end up safe again I don't have a problem with that.
The best chance of a cup run was last season when we were safe by Christmas. But we drew City away. And, as Rileybobs says we gave valuable game time to some players today.
Some people would still moan if we won the cup.
Let's go and do United on Tuesday. I'm in the home end so a 95th minute Barnesy winner will do

Re: Will dyche ever
Dyche’s attitude to the Cups frequently frustrates me, but I think today the negative attitude was justified. The draw was a real downer and I for one couldn’t muster the enthusiasm to go. Coming three days ahead of a difficult league game, I think he was right to make changes for a fixture we were unlikely to win whoever played.
It’s when he makes loads of changes and we end up losing to sh!te like Accy Stanley and Burton that I get really p!55ed off.

Re: Will dyche ever
Referring to post 21 the best chance we had of a cup run was this season in the Europa. The side that beat us, they would probably have lost had we played our best team, they then proceeded to knock out AC Milan. What a story we would have told our grandkids if the equivalent had happened to us.
So yes, the guy is a complete clown when it comes to cups, pragmatism is in truth fear in disguise which is why I loathe it (fearful of injury, fearful of tiredness, fearful of failure). I can see why he rested some. It’s a balance, but let’s be honest, if it was West Brom at home he would have done the same. I don’t see how anyone can defend it, regardless of the £150m PL pot.
I don't think It helps either. Look at Kevin Long today. As big a shocker as shocker gets, goals 1, 4 and 5 were horrible for him and he had more bad times as well as that. But, just as in Athens, Dyche throws him in the furnace. I have a lot of sympathy for him. You can’t sit on the bench and then be sharp enough to handle City.

I hope you realise, that we wouldn't have been drawn in the same group as Milan, as the draw method changed from the next round onwards.

It wasn't a case of taking it seriously - Manchester City are just far too strong at home versus virtually anyone...no matter how many changes they make to their team.

Re: Will dyche ever
The bottom 6 PL teams have been turfed out of the FA Cup,4 of them to lower league opposition,4 of the current top six Championship teams have also exited early,it's sad but the reality is survival/promotion to the PL is the holy grail,whether some fans like it or not.

Weren't they a division two side then? Stand to be corrected and I take your point. The phrase 'one way traffic' is often used in football circles and that's what it was today. A steady stream of attacking with more than a hint of menace thrown in. A huge chasm in class and ability.Steve-Harpers-perm wrote:Chris Boden made a good point we had a better chance of beating them when we played them on the turf in the early 90’s when we were in the 4th division and they were in the 1st!

Re: Will dyche ever
I think it would be easier to take going out of the cups if we played our strongest team. It's our half arsed approach that frustrates me. Take the Olympiakos away game, it's the what if that kills you. I don't think our first choice back 4 would have conceded 3 goals, but we'll never know will we.
Re: Will dyche ever
The refs performance at Olympiakos would have made sure we went out even if we had Diego Godin, Raphael Varane, Ben Mee and Giorgino Ciellini in defence.

That was exactly the point that I made after the last round of matches. Not only this season but last season as well if you look back at the results with sides competing at the top of the Championship making wholesale changes to their lineups.

The likes of West Brom and Middlesborough won't be judged on reaching the later stages of the FA Cup,although both now face replays,which if they were being honest neither really want.
It's disappointing but that's the nature of the game now i'm afraid,and i can't see this mindset changing anytime soon.
The most famous example is of course Wigan who lifted the FA Cup in 2013 but also went down,and have never recovered since.

There have, however been five teams that lost the FA Cup final and were relegated: Manchester City (1926), Leicester City (1969), Brighton & Hove Albion (1983), Middlesbrough (1997) and Portsmouth (2010).

And is it proved that having a good run in the Cup is bad for League form? When we first got promoted into the Premier League, we had that run to the League Cup semis and played 5 FA Cup games too. Would our league season have been better if we'd got knocked out of both early on? No it wouldn't.
What sticks in my throat is that, if all goes to plan, I will never again have the chance to see Burnley win something. We won't even try to win the FA Cup, the League Cup, or a European Trophy, there's no realistic chance of winning the League, so unless we get relegated that's it. Nothing to win. I've been a season ticket holder since 86-7, and we've won promotion 6 times, including a couple of Wembley play-offs and a couple of Championships, reached Wembley in the Sherpa Van, reached the League Cup semi, qualified for Europe (not realising it meant nothing) - we've had an extremely exciting time. I've had a great ride. Now, the club's ambition is boredom - make sure we never have any exciting moments, and wave a bank statement in the air instead of a cup. Yippee.
I went on Accrington today, as I do quite often. At least they try and win things.
