2 years without Dyche.
According to my FB memories.
From a steady Eddie to a roller coaster is probably an understatement.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I think more than anything I’ve missed the identity that we had with the (Dyche) players, somehow you knew what you’d get from each of them, good or bad. Somehow I felt that I knew them. Unfortunately with the current crop apart from a just a few of them they still feel like strangers. I think what I’m trying to say is that I’ve missed that togetherness that Dyche instilled.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I’m not sure I miss his last 18 months, which seem to have been wiped from various memories whenever the current situation is compared to this season.
I’m also not sure how “together” the team was towards the end. Ben Mee certainly alluded to some unhappiness in those final seasons in more than one interview.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I haven’t missed him. That Everton game last week was a typical Dyche type of game. I haven’t enjoyed this season either but I’m still confident of long term success playing a more possession based game

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
Dyche’s side was steadily improving through potentially to 2020 but then it stalled due to lack of investment in the squad.
We stopped picking up home wins and that was crucial to us. The game after we won at Liverpool we beat Aston Villa 3-2 at home. Since that game we’ve won just 8 out of 48 home games in the Premier League.
That last season and a half under Dyche was tough but I want my team to be winning games and two home games this season is just not acceptable.

And I have to say I haven't seen much excitement
this season, last season then fair enough.
Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I'd have liked it if Dyche had been able to stay (meaning perhaps that our new board could have recognised the short comings because of the lack of investment) and then given the resources that VK has had to improve the team. It would have been interesting to see what he really could have done with better quality players. The evidence is that he would do well.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 1:23 pmDyche’s side was steadily improving through potentially to 2020 but then it stalled due to lack of investment in the squad.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
The resource that VK had was having to sell pretty much all of the best players we had under Dyche plus losing two key players for nothing and then replacing them plus some of the other aging players at half the cost.Hipper wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 1:39 pmI'd have liked it if Dyche had been able to stay (meaning perhaps that our new board could have recognised the short comings because of the lack of investment) and then given the resources that VK has had to improve the team.

Dyche could have sold on players like Mee, Collins, Tarkowski, McNiel etc and rebuilt the team himself but he didn't choose not to probably because he knew how hard it would be to try and replace them with younger cheaper unproven players like VK had to do.
I reckon if VK had Pope, Collins, Mee, Tarks, McNeil and Cornet this season we would be doing a lot better than we did two years ago.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I was at the Norwich game, his last stand. It was pretty shocking and did have an end of an era feel to it. But as above, the squad had been starved of investment and stagnated for 2 years, you can't do that in the Prem.
Hard to call how good / bad a decision it was, as two years on we find ourselves in the same spot as we were then. Last season was hugely enjoyable, but against that, I probably fear for next season more than I would if Dyche was in charge. Could well be wrong about that, just a feeling.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I have mixed feelings about Dyche. I remember that in the COVID period he had hardly any players he went to Palace with Kevin Long, two keepers and 4 kids on the bench, and won 1 - 0! It was from around about that point on things seemed to grow gradually worse with minimal investment so that Oligarlick and John Banditkiewicz could trouser their millions.
Personally I had no problem with his style of football, he got us 54 points twice, but I don't go to football to be "entertained".
On the other hand we were heading for the rocks when he was fired and even Michael Jackson got 11 points from 8 games so he wasn't getting a tune out of the old band of brothers three of whom went straight into retirement.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
We had our best season ever at championship level last season and have followed it up with a struggle but (to me at least) a season where we are improving whilst playing a possession based style. I watched us at Everton and preferred to watch a team using possession than one waiting for mistakes from the opponent and having a sole reliance on set plays.
Dyche was magnificent for Burnley FC of that there is no doubt but nearly a decade was the right tenure and, as others have suggested, it was not all rosy in the kitchen in terms of team spirit at the end. I haven’t missed him at all.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
Dyche...the best Burnley manager in living memory. Consistently delivered in the PL until the owner of the time started to lose interest.
Absolutely amazing last season in the Championship but our current manager has been seriously caught out this last season.
I gather many Everton fans aren't very happy with Dyches management but for a club who have their own serious problems, he's doing ok for them.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
I think we were playing pretty well under Dyche when he went and that was overshadowed by a poor Noriwch performance, which we still should have taken a point from
The Everton game before it was fantastic, we also played well at home v Utd, Liverpool, Spurs and Brighton before he went.
I still think it was strange timing. The dreadful run had been prior to Christmas.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
Our good run that season coincided with Cork coming into the team. Dyche then decided to drop him to get Westwood back in and we stunk again.Goliath wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 5:58 pmI think we were playing pretty well under Dyche when he went and that was overshadowed by a poor Noriwch performance, which we still should have taken a point from

There were widespread reports of a serious breakdown in relations as 2020 wore on. He was openly critical about the lack of progress re player contracts (and no doubt critical behind the scenes re lack of investment which as we now know was to keep the balance sheet healthy).

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
we are debating the status of millionaires, dyche worked for us and was successful. I thought he was great, he didn't have much money, and he still doesnt at everton. to work with. its never a fair point to put managers like him up against the billionaires owners at the giant clubs. VK is in same category. great player with a philosophy that will work again, but trying to implement his plans on a shoestring budget.

Re: 2 years without Dyche.
It's a question of what Dyche would have done with the investment. More experienced UK or Irish players a vast majority having zero resale value, or the new model. It's fairly obvious he didn't want the players coming into the club in that final season when the investment went in, so pointless to continue with him.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 1:23 pmDyche’s side was steadily improving through potentially to 2020 but then it stalled due to lack of investment in the squad.

Is Branthwaite a dour old pro now at 21?
Is McNeill a dour old pro at 24? Mykolenko at 24? Beto at 26? Garner at 23? Onana at 22?
I mean, there’s loads you can dislike about Dyche’s approach….. but bringing the balance makes your points a bit more valid.

Were you on Crystal Meth when you wrote it ? While I don’t watch Everton play , the club itself has been a terrible basket case in recent years and they’ve given nothing to Dyche but shed more assets . As for “ solid old pros “ ?? I think Wayne Rooney is your man .
That he’s keeping them above the relegation zone even after points deductions is quite a feat all things said . He was brought in exactly for one purpose to keep them in the prem this season . I’d imagine he’ll be potted regardless as the new stadium is only another full season off .

Couldn't agree more, by then he'd become a head coach with the owners bringing in players (I was told from a list Mike Rigg had left).
