Everton sack Sean Dyche: Relegation fears forced Friedkin move – is David Moyes best man for job?
History will be kinder and more respectful to Dyche than it is now for keeping Everton in front in his first season despite a last-day win over Bournemouth and then last season despite breaching the margins and Eight points for continuing to develop the rule but repeating it more easily (PSR).
Dyche will always be remembered for his sublime 2-0 win over Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool at Goodison Park in April, a performance that gave Everton a brief break from the painful cycle that had gripped them for years. The ice shackled them while also damaging their arch-rivals’ Premier League title bid.
However, Everton’s decline began to show this season. On August 31, with 4 minutes left in regular time, Everton lost 2-3 at home to Bournemouth with a 2-0 lead. .
Everton also lost 2-0 to Aston Villa, whom they beat 3-2, with a mountain of unflattering statistics surrounding Dyche’s side leading to His ultimate demise.
They have failed to score in 11 of their 19 league games this season. Only three seasons in the club’s history have fewer goals been scored after so many games. Like Bournemouth, they also had no shots on target in their 0-0 draw with Arsenal in December.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s contract expires this season and speculation about his future has long since dried up. Beto, signed from Udinese in a deal reportedly worth up to £30m, has performed poorly, while Armando Broja, on loan from Chelsea, has barely returned to fitness.
Wolves defender Craig Dawson is Everton’s top scorer in the last 10 games and he scored two own goals in a 4-0 win at Goodison Park. .
As the season progressed, Dyche’s Everton looked like they had forgotten not only how to score goals, but how to create chances.
Everton fans, already defiant, had their noses rubbed by Bournemouth fans at the Vitality Stadium last Saturday, who were chanted: “What do you think about this every week?”
Dyche has increasingly been accused of a “dinosaur” management as fans grow increasingly angry over the poor fare, with only former Burnley winger Dwight McNeil (before injury) and summer signing Iliman ·Ndiaye offers real talent.
Former Everton midfielder and pundit Leon Osman told BBC 5 Live Sport’s Monday Night Club: “It’s not easy to commentate on their games because there’s not much going on.
“I do think the team lacks quality but anyone will tell you you should still create chances and score goals. It was a tough game.”
