As well as above, also even in the Telegraph….

"I thought at one point he might have snapped his [Kane's] eyelash, which would have been tragic, but he seemed to be responding OK," said Dyche.

Everton's manager, who emphasised Kane was guilty of 'gamesmanship' rather than 'cheating', argued the striker's reaction to Doucouré, was more dramatic than Michael Keane's after a potentially leg-breaking tackle by Lucas Moura, which also led to a red card.

"The strange thing about football is that on one night you have a player who, in theory, is very close to getting a broken ankle and nothing is said, and another gets a broken eyelash and it's like the world is going to end," said Dyche.

Calls it as he sees it mate:

"If you make a rule, everyone will try to find a way to bend it.

"So you make a rule that you can't touch anyone in the face and now everyone goes down if they do get touched in the face.

"It was a big drama over nothing. It is worrying to me when I see the physio concussion-testing him after that. Really? Come on."

"The strange thing about football is that on one night you have a player who, in theory, is very close to getting a broken ankle and nothing is said, and another gets a broken eyelash and it's like the world is going to end," said Dyche.

"But that's society and how things have changed. It (the Kane incident) was pretty much nothing, but football has changed.

"Everyone has become so precious, haven't they? The rules are so precious, in society as well as football.

"I've been on about it for years. Millions of kids see footballers cheat every week, diving all over the place, and no-one says a word.

"Someone gets flicked in the eyelash and it becomes a big situation. That's just the way it is now.

"And that's not about being a football manager; it's just being human. If lads go down in training I do tell them to get up. I have my own authentic standards."

I liked him before he arrived and wanted him to come to Everton. What i didnt know is that i would grow to respect and admire him as much as i do so quickly. He just seems to align with all my footballing opinions and how things should be done. No fuss attitude that everyone is responding to.
I hope hes with us for a long time and can get a trophy with us. Hopefully he can become a legend and not for just saving us from relegation.

I think it suits the situation we are in. Question mark for me comes when there are situations where teams sit back in front of us (this isn't a new problem btw, so not of Dyche's making), and I think that's probably only solved in the transfer market. If we stay up this season, that's an issue (one of a few) I'd hope is addressed in the summer.

What I think suits us from the point of view of culture is a fast-paced, direct style. That doesn't need to mean "long ball", but whilst we warmed to them as people at times, the likes of Martinez and Lampard tried to implement styles which don't really suit the nature of our support.

What we've seen from Dyche has been fairly effective and has largely got the crowd onside, but it'd need to be adapted a little next season if we don't want to end up in the lower reaches again IMO (again, not really his problem, more of a personnel one)

Sean Dyche spent a few years under Brian Clough at Forest, I think he learned a lot off Clough and not just about football, Clough could be acerbic with the media, wasn’t interested in getting praised, talked a awful lot of common sense,knew football was a simple game and didn’t fry to complicate it, knew how to play football and he certainly knew how to manage a team and the players who played for him, Dyche sounds a lot like Clough to me, uncomplicated, gets on with the game and uses the players he has got to the best of his ability, not a lot to dislike about is there, mind you this Everton and given time someone or a few will have a go at him!!

Seems he spent one year there, as a youth player, with a broken leg. Not sure Clough would have known who he was. That said, Clough WAS Forest, so his influence would leak into all the coaches I guess.

It was three years actually. He said they didnt have too much conversations, but his influence was everywhere at the club.

Clough knew all the players from the first team right through to young players, he’d get to know them by having them up to his house and getting them to work in his garden, Dyche was there long enough to see how Clough managed the players on and off the field.
