No one is making out Dyche is some genius just by pointing out a fact that he’s starting players that some people said he would never play this season.
People can’t go around making binary sweeping statements like ‘he doesn’t play young players’ ‘he won’t play new signings’ ‘he won’t drop Keane’ ‘he’ll never drop his favourites’ then when he does all these things just come out with a never ending list of caveats for every single one.
Iroegbunam (who some people said wouldn’t even play) Mangala Ndiaye Lindstrom all have, and are seemingly likely, going to see significant game time in the starting 11 this season, there‘a no caveats around that, I’m sorry it doesn’t fit the convenient narrative.
