So to play to his strengths , we need to create 2-3 chances a game from no further than 7 yards out?
If you’re doing that, then almost any other striker in the league would flourish

Yeah and he had 1 season where he scored 21 goals (which DCL has also managed) and then his best after that was 6.
He’s one of the best in the league in the air and we crossed the ball 3 times yesterday and had zero corners.
The zero corners stat was just jaw dropping and pretty much sums up Dyche tbh.
To be fair, I don’t expect us to force many corners when we have 30% possession.
I'm appreciating your point, however as a layman I do wonder why do we not try to do the simple things, right? It doesn't have to be seven yards, but in the box.
I watch my son play (academy level) and week in, week out I watch them do it well; I watch other teams attempt it, and do it better than we do. Why?
Put simply, I'm pretty fed up with us getting forward and then slowing it down in the final third. N'Diyae is helping alleviate that, but it's Dyche's tactical system.
Dom is far from perfect as a striker, however I do believe that for whatever reason we're not playing to his strengths, which we should do as he's our best option.

Saha, yak and lukaku prob our best premier league strikers
Don’t agree with this at all. He is good at a standing header from a goal kick or hoof. Absolutely not great at attacking headers

Was a pretty hard game for him. Yesterday, had 2-3 good runs that ended in the shot in the first half and the free kick in the adding time. He also had one good chance that might go in at the rebound, and probably ended up with a pen.
Surely he would benefit from a bit more attacking set up that we had against Bournemouth. He scored his 2 first big chances this season against them and also the set piece against Villa,
But yet, he misses that clinicalness this season again, he's already at 5 big chances (4th in the league) missed this season with 2 goals scored, while taking 15 shots.
He doesn't get 3-4 chances every game, but he doesn't get none either. I still don't see the striker in him that moves us forward next season and justifies being at 100k+ salary.
Hmm

I presume Broja will be in contention after the break. You can certainly see a scenario where he's the one coming off the bench instead of Beto who will probably get loaned out next season.
Also where on earth is Chermiti, I didn't realise he had some three month injury.

DCL is just weak and lacks aggression and desire. Gets muscled out of it on a regular basis and when did you last see him sliding in on the end of a ball fizzed across the area. Admittedly we don't see many, but when we do he needs to be there to knock it in. We never see him 1st to those balls. No aggression. No desire.

And yet crap as he is (lol) he's currently joint third in prem stats for headed goals.
And that from a team playing Dycheball.
