Of the Premier League table, Sean Dyche only cares about the final standings at the end of the season. Of his next opposition, Dyche’s attention is on having his players as prepared as possible and not on form, potential or history. Of his team, Dyche’s demands are straightforward.
The Everton boss has a set of what he views as “authentic beliefs” and they form the core of his approach. They revolve around hard work and determination - the “relentless mentality” he has sought to instil.
It is not necessarily a simple approach, Dyche has methods and strategies and a tactical awareness he is often not given credit for. But it is effective - and results suggest it is working.
