Sean Dyche defends his Everton tactics: ‘Not a time for style, a time to win’
Manager says his club want to play ‘winning football first’Beating Brentford could secure Premier League survival
Sean Dyche has insisted he will not be judged on playing style at Everton but by winning as he strives to secure the Premier League status of the financially troubled club.
They took a significant step towards that goal on Wednesday by winning the Merseyside derby for the first time in 14 years at Goodison Park. After the 2-0 defeat of Liverpool Dyche, conscious of the criticism his approach attracted during a run of 13 games without a win, claimed he wanted “to play beautiful football if I can, but I want to play winning football first.”
