The Obvious Choice

I don't care if they are the fastest sprinters, or score wonderful goals in training, if they can't do it in front of the fans, they are of no use to us.

Dyche is supposed to use a lot of psychology in his methods, he'll have to work overtime with some of our squad. We have seen glimpses of togetherness, in both those matches in Manchester, that needs to be replicated in every match twixt now and the end of the season, if Dyche can get them to do that, we'll be in with a fighting chance.

I'm convinced Dyche will keep us up. Nothing else matters.

I'm far more positive now than I was at any point under Lampard.

Doesn't make him unique, but quells the lazy myth that he just bollocks players and is a 'hoofball' merchant.

Frank had no set formation, his formation was dictated by the opposition. The back five was the result of the wingbacks getting pushed back. Everton should benefit from a formation.

Three Everton players have played for Dyche before: Keane, Tarkowski and McNeil. They should all benefit from this. Coady is on loan, so Keane could provide competition to the comfortable sit deep Coady.

Tarkowski did not seem to know where he was often when he was playing. Dyche should enlighten him. The stats showed that Burnley played the ball forward, trying to not pass side ways, but they did give up possession to do so (from another poster's research).

McNeil, a lightweight player, needs the momentum of a early ball to gain advantage. I also think that Onano will benefit from this. Let's face it, sideways passing is Everton's Achilles Heel, slowing down play and inviting pressure and the Everton trademark error.

Going forward, Maupay should benefit from Dyche forward momentum at every opportunity. I expect Calvert Lewin will come under pressure from Simms. Calvert Lewin has failed to deliver and technically falls short, even when coached.Simms is more likely to listen properly.

Ross Wallace also said that if a players doesn't do what he has been told to do he will not be in the team.

Paul you have always had a open view, so I am not surprised that you had such a discussion.I agee with you.

Met him a couple of times - only as part of a group. I don't know him, but as a Northamptonshire boy. He'll have no Delusions of Grandeur.

I was particularly interested in what Tony A had to say about him. Tony knew/knows him well. He's giving him the thumbs up and you are clearly rubber stamping him.

I usually have a strong opinion on a managerial appointment, but this is different. This guy has one mission. If he can pull this out the fire. He earns the right to different mission.

I hope Tony's judgment of players and character and you skills at backing winners come into play here...Because you've both been shite so far when it comes to managers.

Be right boys.... Please be right

I've always liked Dyche on lots of levels and thought he'd be a good fit for us.

I'd love to hear what Keane, Tarkowski and McNeill are thinking.

The whole team will benefit from a proper structure.

It is concerning when you bring in players that feel like that. As for the old hand squad, they would get lost at the drop of a hat.

As with Thelwell, I have my doubts.

He also has a nice way about him. He has often spoken about not getting too up or too down.

If we go down then fine but Dyche is the man to bring us back up. If we don't, then Dyche is the man to bring stability to this club and stop the horrible cycle of changing coaches every 18 months!

Picture the scene: Sean Dyche meets Ted the dog from “Gone Fishing”.
Imagine the deep growls of conversation, (Ted is voiced by Paul Whitehouse in the program).
Would be hilarious, as it would descend into a baritone growl of discussion, as Dyche has always amusingly barked in television appearances.
