Speaking to preface Everton’s Premier League matchup with West Ham, Sean Dyche
Sean Dyche comprehends why some of his players chose to voice their opinions about Craig Pawson in the wake of Liverpool’s victory in the Merseyside derby last weekend.
Referee Pawson’s failure to dismiss Ibrahima Konate after he brought down Beto infuriated the Blues players. With the game scoreless, the Liverpool center back avoided receiving a second yellow card for tripping the Everton attacker. By then, Ashley Young had been sent out for two bookable offenses in the first forty-five minutes, bringing Dyche’s team down to ten men.
The Reds team would win 2-0 thanks to a brace from Mohamed Salah, but some Blues players questioned Pawson’s ruling halfway through the second half following the game. Regarding the ruling, James Tarkowski lamented a lack of consistency, Jarrad Branthwaite implied that Pawson had used double standards, and Jordan Pickford demanded “less arrogance” from referees.
Although Dyche is eager that his players refrain from discussing referees after games, he acknowledges that his players will express their frustrations when a call of the caliber of the one involving Konate goes against them, as it did last weekend.
“I said afterwards you don’t really want to be talking about officials as players as well; if you can help it, I certainly don’t,” the Everton manager stated.
However, it is difficult since they are still only human, and this is still their work and source of income. It is difficult to accept when something, what seemed like an obvious moment, goes against you.
“It is difficult to officiate football because there are many things that might go wrong. I hold referees in high regard. In my opinion, the two managers and the referee are the three most difficult positions in the current game.
However, you have a crew there, and some decisions are simple. Keep in mind that you have two assistants and a fourth official. Between the three of them approaching the referee in his ear and telling him to leave! He needs to be scheduled. That seemed like such a simple moment to me.
Thus, I understand the players’ annoyance. It is really tough when something like that occurs in a game like that as well, even though I don’t really want to be talking about officials or them talking about referees. quite challenging.
Before Dyche’s pre-game press conference for the Sunday afternoon match against West Ham United, there was a moment of silence inside the Finch Farm media room. This was done in honor of the club’s chairman Bill Kenwright, who had a significant role in making sure the former Burnley manager was selected to succeed Frank Lampard in January.
“It was more of a casual process of chatting through thoughts, my belief in Everton from the outside, obviously because I wasn’t in the club, my view on what it was and how I felt about it, and his view of what it was and how he felt about it and how we could move it, and things like that,” Dyche said, sharing details about his first conversations with Kenwright and the other Everton hierarchy members.
“The manner of the interview was quite open. It was more like a conversation between Mr. Moshiri and Kevin Thelwell, the director of football. It was more of an open discussion about, well, here is where it is at; what do you think? than it was an organized interview. Such kind of thing
“He (Kenwright) was really supportive as soon as I felt like it was going to be me,” the speaker said.
Arnaut Danjuma is one player Dyche is likely to have in his starting lineup for Sunday’s encounter with the Hammers. But since the international break in September, the forward for Villarreal CF, who is on loan, has noticed a decrease in playing time.
In the last four Premier League games for the Blues, Danjuma has only made three appearances off the bench. However, Dyche has disclosed that the 26-year-old is making every effort to impose his will on his thoughts.
“He is another player who has to fight for his chance, and he is doing so,” the speaker remarked. He is training diligently and with great skill.
Even though it was challenging with 10 guys, you down, and all that kind of stuff, he came on at the weekend and tried to make a difference.
He’s working out nicely, and we want the guys to challenge one another. We lack Dele (Dean Coleman) and Andre (Andre Gomes), but if we can get them ready, it will only be a few weeks until Seamus (Seamus Coleman) returns. If we succeed, though, the group becomes fiercely competitive, and that is what you want.”
