Sean Dyche sack decision admission emerges ahead of Everton v Bournemouth
Sean Dyche is under tremendous pressure to get the right result as Everton take on Bournemouth in the Premier League, according to Dean Jones.
The former Eurosport journalist told Give Me Sport on Friday (6 October) that a loss could be decisive for Dyche’s stint at Goodison Park.
With the international break beckoning, it is the time that clubs decide to pull the trigger if things are going wrong.
Jones said: “We are approaching the stage when it is typical for a top-flight manager to lose their job, and Dyche is one man who could be under the microscope in the international break if things go wrong for him this weekend.
“Everton’s defeat to Luton was a real blow, and this clash against Bournemouth already has the feel of a six-pointer. Iraola has plenty to prove himself after a slow start in England, but Dyche is probably under most pressure to win on Saturday, and if this one goes wrong, things will get pretty intense.
“If they lose to Bournemouth, they will be looking with some trepidation towards the next match because it’s against Liverpool! That game in a couple of weeks is not one any club would look forward to, but for Everton, if they are out of form and confidence, it could feel even worse. The fan base seems split on their feelings towards the manager’s future, but you wonder if this is a decisive time for Dyche to stay in his job.”
Get the job done
Iraola’s side play an intense pressing game and will look to win the ball up higher up the pitch.
This may be good news for the Toffees as they can play direct passes into the attacking players and hit them on the counter attack.
This could also be the game Dyche decides to play both Beto and Calvert-Lewin as it’s clear that his previous team selections are not getting the best out of the side.
If Everton lose again, perhaps the only thing that will keep him in a job is the chaos behind the scenes over the ownership of the club.
Dyche has credit in the bank for keeping the team up but he was backed in the summer and if he’s still struggling to find a way to score goals and tighten the back door, he might not be the right one for the job.
Hopefully, they get the three points and then target going on an unbeaten run for at least the next five games.
