Is it just me who thinks Dyche is an over hyped hoofball, thuggish, roll on the floor type manager but everybody loves him because he's a so called tough gravel voiced character?

I'd say he's got them extremely well disciplined and drilled.
They didn't lose their shape all game.
They kept it extremely narrow squeezing up constantly.
He had 2 ranks of 4, sometimes with an additional 5th.

So, very solid defensively, but playing for a lucky break (KDB bad pass as an example) to actually get anything in attack.

I thought they did very well against a team miles better than them.

Wasn't hoofball, as per United, either, though they might have tried a few with the wind (when the corner flags were horizontal).

People only have to look at what happened, FFS! Pope trapped Bernardo's foot under his knee. It's called 'holding'. The Laws of the Game sanction it with a direct free kick. Tough titty for Burnley that it was inside the penalty area.

I must admit I did laugh at Sean Dyche doing his stint as warm up comedian at the Ardwick Hippodrome. His description of what Bernardo did had me thinking of a triple salchow executed from a trampoline and landing on the gasometer at t'other end of Blue Car Park!

Just wait until we play a real team who will attack us and see how good we are then, like hyper attacking Liverpool or eh Champions Chelsea or ehmm second highest scoring team in Europe Napoli maybe?

Osman actually said that didn't he?
I had to play it back just to check, obviously he's just following the meeja mantra, what an idiot, how do they get the gig?
 
Dyche is doing a great job at Burnley, he gets the most out of his players and gets results. Whether he could take on a date different project and club remains to be seen. Certainly deserves but where is the next job? Better than Burnley where he has total control of the club. Stoke maybe, Leicester nah,West Ham nah, Everton? Sunderland should get him and start again.

He's English, from the Big Sam school of percentage football - where there are bigger (financial) rewards for playing shitty football and staying up, than attempting to play attractive football and getting hammered occasionally.

The premier league is so tactically inept that anyone who actually has a coherent tactical plan will do well tbh, regardless of what that plan is. At least half the teams in the league just buy players, write them on a teamsheet and tell them to go do whatever the fuck they want. Or at least that's what it looks like

That’s just football in general. Premier league is the strongest in the world.

It really isn't. Any of the top teams in Europe would make most of these teams look pretty shit, just as we are doing this year. The main reason it looks so "competitive" is that the top teams aren't as good as they should be, or at least haven't been over the past 5 years or so

Sorry, didn't catch MOTD last night. Is that Osman, as in bang average Everton player. FFS they must be scraping the barrell if he's on the pundit panel. There's hope yet for Eike Immell.

Yup Leon Osman, he wasn't on the kosher MOTD but just on some BBC2 football thing, i'm hungover can't focus properly so forgot what it's called, they were all spouting the usual shite anyway:)
