Might have lost me tonight, I fully understand he's working with his hands tied behind his back, but it's impossible the defend that first half.
Yeah same here.
He lost me even before we started when he picked that useless wanker young again
Then keeps him on all game.

Think in fairness to dyche I doubt his dream signing was a 96 year old full back on a free. We are financially fucked. Year on year now they'll be more youngs replacing anyone we can get a decent fee for
The thing is, anyone can see that you can’t play both Coleman and Young together on the same flank. Its just logic that they have lost the energy and pace needed. I can understand Coleman, but Young offers nothing either in defence or attack.
But he keeps playing him.
I know Harrison has been poor and Patterson hasn’t set the world alight, but they are better options than Young. Hell, even a youngster with some pace out wide would be a better option like Dobbin or Chermiti.

You think higher of him than I do then.
Think it's nonsense. Same with benitez and the 3 sacks of shite he signed for 1.7m total. Its not on the managers when they are shopping at the tip when everyone else isn't.
I'm really not arsed if dyche goes but this club is fucked either way.
I said none of us would live to see us win another meaningful trophy when we were throwing money at it still and were 10th under ancelotti. Run well we still wouldn't be able to compete. Run like this administration is a better bet than this slow death. Start again rather than hang on for years delaying the inevitable

Fine, but a) whose got the £7 odd million to sack him and his staff and b) who do you think we could find that saves us with Six games to go ?
I don't know, but I know after tonight I have zero faith in Dyche keeping us up now.
Although I want him gone in the morning it's more that we just need something to change to create a spark than necessarily a reflection on Dyche... I think he's been royally fucked over with the points deductions, and we'd be safe and probably not having this discussion without them, or if we'd signed an actual functional striker, or not just wrote off the first 4 games by signing no one at all.
He's probably done pretty well all things considered, but the wheels have inevitably come off and a change is needed. That's just the reality of the situation, because the players showed out there tonight they aren't playing for him anymore.
It's simple, really. What Dyche values is control. Will Player X do EXACTLY what he is instructed to do, with no improvisation whatsoever? Young will/does, so he plays. Same with Garner. Onana gets the quick hook until he gives up in frustration (it's also asking too much for him to bear all the creative force for CM, but Dyche is happy with none at all).
Without any spark of creativity, opponents figure you out and you become easy pickings. Chelsea played with freedom and confidence today because they knew we couldn't/wouldn't throw a punch at their soft underbelly.
