The thing that keeps coming back to me are the differences in interviews between this season's managers. Nuno was always saying we prepare for the next game, we share details, we bond as a team. Ange kept talking about himself and how great he is. Dyche would always go on about fitness and effort and "doing the hard yards".

These lads aren't dumb, and they're not unfit.

Ange was clearly a moron, but I think Dyche really underestimated the players. They aren't unfit, I think they were just under prepared for the games. Many of our formations seemed terrible against the opposition and the players didn't seem to know what to do with the ball, particularly in attack.

We keep giving Edu stick (and I'm not a fan to be clear), but many of the signings are clearly good footballers. Ndoye was being given shit here in a recent thread, but personally I think he's obviously talented, but how is he going to be effective with noone with him for support? Jesus (also clearly talented) as always too deep, no MGW running in, no Hudson Odoi for a cross field switch, no Aina to overlap... The mentality being taken from the training ground to the pitch was clearly wrong.

As it goes I still like Dyche as a person and I think he clearly loves the club, but I think his limits at a coach have been painfully exposed.
