Everton changed things around at H-T...we didn.t. As against Spurs, with Defour, we brought out main sub , Grey, on top late.

I don't know what that post sounded like in your head, ablue, but written down it's gibberish. Normally your posts are understandable but idiotic. This one isn't understandable.

Dyche certainly has an overall problem with his timing of subs, that's for sure.

He's just so inflexible, we could have lost 3-1 with a bit of experiment, sadly SD just doesn't do proactive thinking. Formulaic to the end, but he can justify it by our home form.

I actually thought that we went at Everton, certainly in the first half and more so than we have done in many of our away games.

Before the game you were asking for the framework to be allowed to breath and in fairness, today we were more focussed on creating opportunities.

At least if you are going to offer suggestions and criticism, admit that there was evidence of some change and change that you actually advocated.

I'm afraid the possession and shot figures still stubbornly remain the same, we need to assert ourselves In terms of possession, it's the low 30's virtually every match, away from home you'll rarely win with that level of possession.

Given the quality of our players against one of the better sides in the league we were never going to have that much possession

We also have strikers who show very little composure or confidence when presented with opportunities to score

Set-up to pose a problem to the opposition, not something they expect.
If you're a sports watcher you know that introducing the new can on occasions upset your opponent, footballers take time to work things out.
By adhering to the ever so tried and tested SD hands the initiative to the opponents, and away from home you just do not do that.

I wasn't at the game, but radio commentary suggested we caused Everton plenty of problems today, particularly in the first half.

The board should sack Dyche now, took us as far as he can. He should have been sacked on the pitch immediately after we lost to Lincoln to be fair.

Obviously, you won't have seen the first half ABC? We played with a little more freedom and created a few good chances. Everton have won 8 home games on the bounce. That's 8!! They are one of the top 7 teams in this league. We gave them a good game today and lost to a deflected second and a piece of strength and brilliance from Lukaku. Guess what, a change of formation, or personnel we had available probably would still not have made us win today. Better teams, with better squads lose away to Everton.

We all know you are a tactical genius and, more importantly, you can come up with some "catchy" phrases ABC but I still trust SD slightly more than you. Sorry!

**** me some people obviously didn't watch the game, we were dominant first half, not so much the second. If we gave that level of performance at any of the bottom half teams we would have won 3 or 4 games away by now, we got done today by an odious slice of luck and a bad giveaway resulting in the leagues top scorer punishing us for it

We were by fare the better side for most of the game. Just a bit more quality up front and we would have won!

The funniest part is, I'm not even trolling, I'm deadly serious. For me, he's dug his own grave. I'm entitled to my opinion but the football is down right atrocious. We are 2nd best every game, lose every away game and cheat to try and scrape points. I'm surprised Dyche hasn't signed Kenwyne Jones and Emile Heskey and paired them upfront together.

Come on people! Same old moaners every time! We are doing a grand job 6 games to go and practically safe? Being passionate, strong minded and having unreal determination far out points flair and having people who don't care.Super proud of them this season.I for one think the away form Is a bit of bad luck.You look at the top 6 Everton,Utd,Spurs,arsenal,Chelsea and City we where so close to taking something off all but Chelsea away from home.I do think next season we will have a more average away record,but so will our home record.Proud to be a claret!

Peoples thoughts are all over the place from the false league position we find ourselves in. 2nd best most games the only difference is we fluke wins at home but not away. Stoke at home a prime example.

I think the question has got to be: What do you expect of him?

He's not the messiah, nor is he a very naughty boy. Man for man, we have the weakest starting 11 in the Premier League and it looks like we're going to stay up.

He's overachieved.

I'm not sure we necessarily have the weakest starting 11, Frank. Could do with more goal threat though.

It wouldn't plunge us into turmoil, we'd be better without him Imo. I doubt some of the players would be too bothered. You could add at least another 5 goals onto Grays tally as soon as Dyches office desk Is cleared.
