In an in-depth session, Dyche examines both the in-possession and out-of-possession tactics he refined in a 10-year spell that saw the northwest club spend six consecutive seasons competing in the Premier League. In that time, they finished as high as seventh in the table and qualified for European football. He goes on to discuss the tweaks he made to the set-up, including employing a defensively-aware number 10 in a 4-4-1-1 shape, as well as his approach to developing players, such as Kieran Trippier and Danny Ings, within that system.
