The Everton Forum • Re: Dyche

I think what he's done that none of the other managers could consistently do is getting the best out of his players. Mykolenko, Tarkowski, Doucoure, DCL, McNeil, they're all playing as well as they have ever done.

Yes, it is often scrappy, yes, the system falls apart occasionally, losing us control of matches for uncomfortably long periods but so long as the players are playing for him and doing so to the best of their ability, so long as they will create chances even when we rarely have the ball, we can get away with that while those areas are being worked on. He's been talking about changing the story of Everton from the day he came in, to get out on the pitch expecting to win (expecting in a good way, that is), and he's doing a good job in that regard.

Look, we all know what an utter fucking basket case Everton was a year ago, all that will not be magically fixed in a single season while also having to produce results. And there is a good chance fixing everything will prove to be beyond Dyche's abilities as a manager. (This is less a doubt in his abilities and more an acknowledgement of the omnishambles he has had to deal with.) But so far he's on course for me.
