Boooo! There's always next year, I guess.
Everton 2022/23 | Dyche Dyche baby
- Thread starter SilentWitness
- Start date
That team is actually tragic. Iwobi, Gray, and McNeil are Championship players.
He waxed them chumps like a candle.
That Pickford save from Maddison's penalty basically kept them up.
Leicester very likely win that if it goes 3-1 at half time.
It was a very Dyche and Everton win to stay up and premier league will probably have a weaker relegation battle next season given what's coming up so you'd expect Everton to have enough to finish on 45 points and 14th or something like that.
Intrigued what FFP punishment they get though as even a transfer ban for a window will put huge strain on limited squad.

Liverpool will be thrilled that their regular six points against Everton will be assured again next season
McNeil had a really good second half of the season, scored 7-8 goals.
Iwobi one year left so feels Everton to give him a new 5 year contract based on limited output in Lampard's first few months.
Most remarkable stat to me is they've stayed up despite only scoring one goal or less in 18 of their 19 home games.
This lot will survive a nuclear war.
Lampard did half the work. He deserves credit for keeping them up too 
Disappointed they stayed up. They deserved to go down for paying actual money for Maupay. Irritating, non-scoring strikers are a plague.
We can't even pawn off our deadwood on them anymore because they're broke.

What a strange bunch Everton fans are, running onto the pitch like they just won the League. They shouldn’t have been anywhere near this mess in the first place with the resources they’ve got. Now that shower of players and the board will be thinking they’ve done a good job.
Kept Chelsea up as wellLampard did half the work. He deserves credit for keeping them up too
They'll stay up with ease next season. Just having Dyche for a full season instead of Lampard is in itself worth at least 10 points.
I actually don’t mind the blue Scousers staying up, if only they don’t roll over twice a season for the red ones....
Well done to Doucoure and Dyche. Lampard dropped him and was set on selling him but he’s been class since Dyche came in. Fair fecks to both and thank you.
Few stories last week that they’re looking around for a new manager. I wonder if they always had that in mind with Dyche but couldn’t get him in the door without selling it as a longer term job.
Kept two clubs up. Splendid work. Offers should be rolling in.
Interesting. Dyche isn't the most "sexy" manager but I feel like replacing him at this point would be an unnecessary risk given their financial situation.
I wanted them to go down just to see Goodison burn. Next year.
So Arsenal had a better season than them only by getting a UCL spot.
Keeping Everton up while having to play Dycheball with Demarai Gray as a false nine for most games should unlock some kind of hardcore mode achievement.
Grats on staying up.
They're the turd that won't flush
@SilentWitness Congratulations. Happy to see a historic club not go to complete shite (at least for now).
I used to not mind them much or at all...
but in 2010 I went to my first-ever United game away at Goodison
[it was then possible to get away tickets via the Israeli supporters' branch, believe it or not].
and being a typical glory-hunting-fan-from-abroad, as some would claim,
I didn't know much about the scousers and mancs thing, that goes some way beyond United-Liverpool...
So I got to the tram station outside of Goodison with a Scholes 2007/8 home kit (red one, AIG) on me,
with my jacket all open and showing it... I got a lot of abuse thrown at me (in an accent I mostly didn't understand),
and if it wasn't for a stranger United fan who took me to the side of the road and told me to close my jacket and not say a word until we enter the ground,
who knows how that day would have ended hehe...
Hate them ever since, and Moyes & Fellaini did little to change that.
@SilentWitness congrats mate

@SilentWitness congrats mate
@SilentWitness congrats on staying up. That was a tense watch from a neutral perspective so can’t imagine how you felt!
@SilentWitness congrats on staying up.
Congratulations but they’ll struggle again next season.
Great that they stayed up as I would have been upset if we would have to ban @SilentWitness for defending Lampard and blaming Dyche if they went down. hehe
Would be complete madness to sack him. Style is limited but he did what was required and showed at Burnley he can keep teams up reasonably comfortably despite not scoring much.
Everton wanted Bielsa as their first choice but he'd have been a terrible fit with how their squad is so it's a massive gamble to go for a high pressing coach as they simply don't have a good enough team.
Better to just low block teams to death and scramble goals off set pieces and get to 40 points by mid April next season and then hope the new stadium can provide better opportunities.
Moshiri did and I don’t like associating what he wants and what Everton want.They really thought the demon dirty Dyche wouldn’t keep the Evertonians up. I always had faith
Yep. Had they got relegated Bielsa may have then become an option. I think at that level you can afford to take a chance with that style of football. But in the premier league they’d be eaten alive playing that style with that group of players.
Quite sad that they run onto the pitch after scraping safety like it’s some achievement. They should never be in that position to start with. Small club mentality.
I disagree. It’s from sheer relief, not joy.
The fans have been very clear that they are angry and upset about the position we have found ourselves in and regularly call for the board to get out and new people to come in. Even yesterday after we secured PL status for next season we were vocal about the board and club.
I’m interested to see how this summer goes. It’s another big one for us. Dyche needs to be backed if we stick with him and I think if so we should be comfortably mid table. I don’t expect top half but I also don’t expect another relegation battle.
I think Dyche has been fantastic in some aspects (the Arsenal and Brighton games were tactically superb and to win yesterday with a bare thin squad was a testament to him) but he’s also been really crap at times (bringing Keane back and not having Mina in earlier, poor in game management etc). It looks like he will be better than Lampard and Benitez were and I think it probably makes sense to keep him to try and stabilise the club which I think he can do. Don’t think he’s the man to get us competing in the top 10 again but that is quite far off anyway, we should be trying to stabilise and maintain PL status without the worry of relegation going into the final few or final game of a season.

Fair enough. Ye something needs changing. Congratulations though. The prem would have been weird without yous in it
Do you think dyche is the man to take you forward though? I remember him saying with a better team and better Budget is style will be more attractive then it was at Burnley. I don’t believe that though.We watched your game yesterday @SilentWitness, and we were both cheering for Everton. We got really invested in it. I'm really glad you stayed up, as you should. Yesterday was a good day for us and for you.
Aston Villa and Newcastle have shown things can turn around pretty quick in football. Everton should be near at least where Villa are. Once certain good decisions are made and this board goes out, can see you competing for Europa league/conference league soon.
