Fans of Everton have just received a loud and frightening message from Sean Dyche.
Sean Dyche expressed his satisfaction with Amadou Onana’s performance after he was reinstated to the starting lineup after first being benched.
The Belgian international was scheduled to come off the bench, but Dyche decided to change up his usual centre midfield lineup by inserting James Garner there in place of Onana.
However, the 22-year-old was needed just before kickoff when Idrissa Gueye’s heel problem flared up. Dyche claimed that it was still too early to determine the entire scope of the problem.
Then, Onana delivered one of his greatest games of the year as he assisted Everton in destroying a weak Bournemouth team 3-0 to secure a well-earned victory at Goodison Park.
VERDICT: Dyche had the ideal international break boost thanks to a significant shift at Everton.
James Garner and four other Everton players were rated outstanding against Bournemouth by the players’ ratings.
After the game, Dyche stated that it was a tactical choice to not include Onana in the starting lineup, adding, “We made a decision and the margins are OK at the end of the day. Amadou, Gana, Jimmy, and Doucs—four excellent players—were present.
After leaving the final warm-up exercises early due to a heel injury, Gueye was taken off the pitch. According to Dyche, the club was informed before to the game. When questioned about Onana’s remark, he responded, “Well, that’s the job. A football player’s job is to do that.
“They are aware of the demand; they are aware that there are a number of guys present who are demanding to be given the opportunity to wear the jersey. He was good, jersey. He was good, in my opinion, today.
Regarding his centre midfield, Dyche continued, “Him and Jimmy were extremely excellent. They are both young guys that are developing, but they have been performing well anyway. They will be pushed to learn because we want them to.
