Apparently this striker has a decent coach.

When asked why he thought it was necessary to not utilise a striker coach, the Everton manager said:
“My nephew, he’s six. He’s got a goal at the bottom of his garden and he manages to hit the target just fine. He’s never needed a striker coach, so I’m not sure why you’d think any of my players would?”


There you have it folks. Straight from the horses mouth.
Quite unbelievable, really.

Its no good him being at the bottom of his garden,he needs to be on our pitch.
 
Honestly I think he's got a point as far as the senior players are concerned, no coach is going to suddenly 'fix' DCL and get him scoring again. IMO he's probably learned all he will ever learn, he's just not an elite striker in terms of conversion % and also he's suffering from playing in a defensive setup.

Then again, my entire football management experience amounts to a few good seasons on SWOS on my amiga back in the mid-90's, so wtf do I know*.

*I did win the European cup with Hearts, but then later got sacked from the England job.

He did better when he had Ferguson coaching him. And it’s not just about learning new things. For example top level golfers still have coaches and lessons to find any edge as well as maintaining their level.

An actual striker coach would analyse missed chances and look at what he did wrong and work on that but also support the mental side of the game a lot closer than Dyche would as manager when Dyche has 25 players to manage.
