The "Here We Go Again" New Manager Thread

[Colbert Report]

There's no chance Sean Dyche would do it, is there? We need a manager based in England, not Ireland. That's where almost all of our senior players play.

Give it to Roy and Duffer and be done with it. At least the players would go in to the dressing room afraid at half time if they didn't put in a shift.

ABD - anyone but Dyche

Everton point under Dyche in 24/25 - 17 points in 20 games. David Moyes - 31 points in 18 games... 11 in 7 this season.

Or to look at it another way: in Dyche's last 20 games he got 17 points and in Moyes first 20 games he got 34 points (exactly double)

Or the through their entire tenures, Dyche's Everton were the 16th best team in the league and Moyes' Everton are the 7th best team in the league. By and large the same players...

I genuinely think he's at fault for the regression of Jeff Hendrick and to a lesser extent Robbie Brady when they arrived at Burnley - I remember seeing a thing he did on Hendrick where his entire job was being the first person to get on to the end of flicked on header from a long ball to the big striker and to then lay it out to the winger for him to cross it in - that was literally it. Over and over again. Sam Allerdichi would probably do a better job and he's a dinosaur.

Hallgrimsson's rhetoric this week suggests he's inching towards the latter view. The phrase "back to basics" has been deployed, with the Icelandic coach promising not to "overload them (with tactical instructions), that messes with their heads."

Yes, yes it was.
Conveniently forgotten now by some eh ?
You'll see fellas like Eirambler running for the cover of the further back to basics is required aplenty in the coming weeks. As though playing all our big lads because they're big and pounding the opposition box from low percentage angles & positions wasn't basic enough. Add to that we even did that badly.

If it had been the back to basics that was hoped for, he'd have known enough to fill our midfield with bodies and make us harder to beat. So, unless it comes very late in the day, the reverting to a more simple, more logical approach to suit the limited players we have isn't going to happen under HH unfortunately (hopeless Jake O'Brien long throw ins aside).

What is the alternative to this that people would prefer next time around? Another delusional idiot who tries to set us up to pass our way through the heavyweights of European football?

In fairness, not being as good as David Moyes should in no way rule anyone out of the hunt here. Beggars can't be choosers and we are still on "Any share change" merchants here.

Heck, a manager who can keep a team in the Premier is straight off at a better level than most of our players, which no idea how to do it

Not that I necessarily want Dyche as manager, but let's not get notions of ourselves either
