Karl Robinson called the 10-point penalty given to Everton a “disgrace” and supported Sean Dyche as the “best manager” to lead the team to victory.
Despite the Toffees’ 3-0 loss to Manchester United the day before—a game they could have won—the coach, who concluded the previous campaign as Leeds United’s assistant manager, stated in a live chat on talkSPORT on November 27 that the manager is “certainly” the ideal guy to keep the team up in the current situation.
Paul Ince affirmed without a doubt that Dyche will keep Everton afloat, and both men supported him in his post-game outburst, in which he angrily denounced the second-half penalty that was given following a VAR review.
Robinson remarked (2:45): “As a manager, you go into it thinking, ‘What is my best tactic with this?'” What can I do with this to promote the next game? ‘How can I use it to support the fans?’
It’s not a matter of not being transparent; it’s about ensuring that you can manage your club at these times. Sometimes you have to say things you don’t really believe in, but you know it’s the right thing to do.
One thing about Sean Dyche is that he is always truthful. Under him, they appear to be the Everton I am familiar with.
There are some things you have to say in the post-event interviews in order to safeguard your players, safeguard the supporters, and inspire hope and optimism in them going forward.
In addition, he wants to maintain the fact that the football team’s practice of deducting points is shameful, which is a major concern.
I’ve heard and seen in his comments that Sean has an obligation to use that to inspire Everton Football Club going forward.
After months of unrest during the previous season due to the fear of relegation and a summer of uncertainty around transfers and takeovers, Dyche has finally managed to have his team looking like he would have wanted in recent weeks.
The points deduction has derailed that relative stability on the pitch, especially as it came during the international break.
So he would have been desperate for a result against Erik ten Hag’s side on Sunday, and arguably he got one.
The 3-0 scoreline implies that his team did not show up, but they did show up for the most part. The game was decided by a penalty, a third on the counter when Everton was pursuing it, and an incredible early start.
Although it doesn’t always mean that United is an undeserving victory, the visitors’ performance wasn’t very strong.
Therefore, Robinson is correct when he says that Dyche would do everything in his power to extend that effect into future games. However, it was a wasted chance to capitalize on the intensity of passion among the Goodison supporters.
