Ayatollah Hermione 17238 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bielsa has turned Everton down so they’ve turned to Dyche. Two managers at the complete opposite ends of the spectrum so nice to see there’s a real plan in place of the type of man they want 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 12581 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Will Dyche have enough to keep these up? Bielsa wouldn't have, but he would have at least given them a platform to return. If Dyche doesn't keep them up this time, they'd have to replace him to come back as anything more than a plodding bottom half PL side. Which means another change of direction.

Dr Gloom 26383 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 dyche might keep them up tbf. not exactly a long term solution and it won't be pretty but he can organise a defence and make them hard to beat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 28572 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Dyche IMO is what they need and they've got a chance of staying up with him. Bielsa no chance at this stage in the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree he's got the ability to organise but I think realistically, Everton need to be planning for a season in the Championship - the damage is already done. They have played and lost to too many teams around them and they've done no business in the transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12389 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 With all due respect to Dyche, he's a lower-half PL / upper-half Championship manager and is representative of what Everton are as a club these days so a good fit. Some distance from the days when they had Ancelotti as manager. It was a huge coup for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 12581 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Dyche's last five seasons at Burnley averaged 1.14PpG. To get to 36pts, Everton will need to get 1.17PpG. 0.43PpG more than their current 0.75PpG. Everton are conceding the most chances and Dyche might be able to fix that, but they're also failing to create many with only Bournemouth, Wolves and Palace that are worse. And I'm not sure that Dyche's Burnley were particularly good at fashioning chances. Avg xG = 1.09 Avg xGA = 0.89 Avg G = 0.97 Avg GA = 1.39 If he maintains his Burnley average (1.14), they'd end up on 35pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, but since then they've lost Richarlison who, despite being a cunt was pretty useful in that campaign. They replaced him with Maupay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it. I've edited it to put the current position of each opponent next to it. The last 2 games of the season could be interesting - Wolves & Bournemouth currently occupying the places directly above them. I reckon Southampton, Everton & Bournemouth will go. Wolves to escape by the skin of their teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spits out doom for those three and Wolves to narrowly avoid relegation. Next season I'll use xG as well, but this will do for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
