Marsching on Together

[The Bedlington Terrier]

I do see your point. I just have a totally different one. His go to football is awful. You cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Time will tell but it is already telling.

If VK was in charge last night, you would have seen a different style and set up. That is a fact. Just because they tried to string some passes together a few times doesn't mean the system/framework etc was set up to play that type of football. It just wasnt

But ok, let's draw a line under it again. The next time you see one of his teams play good, consistent style of football then bring this thread to the top and prove a point. I don't mean winning games, I mean a good style to watch that is not boring as.

I know now this thread will go to the abyss of the clarets mad forum and never again reach the surface.

Is there actually a right and wrong way to play football?

I'll bet any amount of money you want that if you ask an Everton fan right now, do you want S-e-x-y Football or the Championship next season?

I'm fairly confident I know what the answer will be.

We have had this discussion. For me Yes there is. For you NO there isn't. Lets watch the thread sink now.

I think you underestimate the Everton fans. Some Everton Fans Comments

I’ve watched that masterclass, I’ve watched the TiVo one, I’ve read articles and there is nothing from them that excites me in any way.

Had my fill of long ball football, low block football. I just can’t get up for it anymore.

Maybe if we did it in a way where we go long, squeeze the space and press high id be up for it but we won’t see that.

It will be drab as ****.


We’re not getting out of the situation we’re in by playing any kind of stylish football. If Dyche is here for 2.5 years and achieves even mid table mediocrity in that time given the state our board have left us in, I’ll think he's a miracle maker. Then if we’re still playing boring football, get rid and bring someone in with the kind of thinking Bielsa had. Now isn’t the time. Stabilise, sort the finances out, then move forward


I don’t want to see that football any more than you do


Just wanted to try get my head around what to expect. As much as he tried to offer more options in attack, it invariably kept coming back to hitting the striker early with the long ball.


Genuinely asking myself if I can get my head around supporting Brighton instead.


I hope he keeps us up but, unless he changes, I fear it's another two or more years lost before we have a chance to appoint a modern mamager.
