Marsching on Together

Good decision UG, just take the profit, could easily have been 3-0 as well. Disappointed in Everton, but when Liverpool have Salah, Nunez and Gakpo up front, with Jota waiting to come on, while Everton field a bearded youth on recall from Sunderland, there's only one likely outcome.

What on earth was Lampard actually doing?

Well Dyche has got them looking like they care I’ll admit that , but the tactics were get it up to the big lad and hope - sound familiar ? Unfortunately the lad up front wasn’t up to it anyway and the longer the game went the more players hid and didn’t want the ball hence mistakes from Tarky - Codey trying to play into midfield.

Was a tough ask going their 2nd game after they got mullered at wolves - work to do for Dyche though I think.

The Toffees are short of quality all over the park and Dyche is not to blame for that.

BT, A88 never said they had a lack of quality, which then you would be correct in saying Dyche is not to blame. I am sure A88 mentioned the style of play and of which Dyche is most definitely to blame for that. It's ok supporting some one, but I think you also have to be honest in the assessment.

If Everton would have played a lovely style of football and still lost, I would be the first to say, fair play BT you were correct (and sinkov) Dyche really can adopt a different style / framework.

It may hurt, but, it is what it is. I see what I see. I that is yet again crap football.

To hide behind it's only the second game doesn't wash with me. You would still see a different style. It's just like watching Burnley if we are being honest, the old Burnley.

I can't see how Dyche had any other option to set up the way he did with what he had to select from. If Tarkowski's header had gone in and McNeil had a right foot the result would have been a whole lot different.

Fine margins.

[Untinted Glasses]

Yes the score may have been. It's the style of play though. Don't get me wrong he could win every game from now until 2056 but it won't be a free flowing style of football that you say he will produce.
I'm not at all doubting results. Just the style.

I thought Sean might keep them up with something to spare, but after watching that I'm not so sure. The return of DCL will help, but not much. The long ball didn't work, but Sean has the same problem that gradually overtook him at Burnley, you can't football much better footballing teams off the park, so you have to try something else., and if that doesn't work, you're fecked.

Having said that, if Tarko's header had gone in off the post instead of bouncing out, who knows how it might have turned out, and Davies should have buried that header near the end, so Everton were good for two goals at Anfield despite not playing well, but when you're bottom end you never get the breaks when you need them. C'est la vie.

This is the dilemma for Sean in a nutshell army, on the occasions when Everton tried to play football, they couldn't, Liverpool's players were simply too good for them, it was like taking candy off a kid, and as you say, the confidence drained out of them.

Swop the managers around, give Dyche Salah, Nunez and Gopka up front, give Klopp Simms and the rest of Everton's mediocre midfield and do you seriously think Everton under Klopp would have won by playing scintillating football, while Dyche's Liverpool simply lumped the ball up to their world class superstars ?

Would you like to answer the above UG, I'm really intrigued to know your opinion.
