Sean Dyche

Earlier in the week, footage showed Dyche overseeing his new charges with the squad completing the bleep test at their Finch Farm training base.

They felt they could have done more, I said we need to do more, quite obviously.’ A lot of them have been brought in for a lot of money. They have respect for the outgoing manager. I’ve got years of facts and stats on what the body needs to deliver. It’s not some kind of bee sting, it’s a measure.

[Premier League](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/premier-league), leading to many a contrast of opinions with his counterparts, [most infamously Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/liverpool-everton-sean-dyche-klopp-29066521). Dyche has a proven track record of keeping struggling teams in the Premier League from his time at Turf Moor and is also tasked with getting the disillusioned Toffees faithful back onside. So, Dyche may not view Saturday's crunch fixture as a cup final, but there is no denying its significance. The Toffees have won just three of their 20 top-flight games this season and I'm definitely not questioning Mikel but my opinion of my team is to keep going hard, keep working hard, keep doing the right things, and add in the detail. The Englishman is renowned for his no-nonsense style of management, which was a successful formula throughout his 10-year stint at overachievers [Burnley](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/burnley-fc). The phrase is a classic one used by managers and players across all levels of the football pyramid to emphasise the importance of fixtures during the run-in. Yet Dyche views things very differently and sees little use in upping the pressure on his players by telling them they have a string of do-or-die games coming up. "I wasn't aware that Mikel Arteta gave them [Arsenal] the 'cup final' mentality," Dyche said.

It was his first Everton goal and the first he’d scored since netting for Burnley against Brighton in 2021 – when Dyche was his manager at Turf Moor. After a season of doom and gloom, Everton made the most of their new manager bounce as Arsenal were knocked out of their stride.

The selection paves the way for numerous formations. McNeil's introduction means Dyche turns to two of his former players at Burnley in his first line-up, with James Tarkowski also starting at the back.

Arsenal boss Arteta told BT Sport: “We had loads of the ball but we lacked that purpose and quality in the final third, we generated many chances. We have to keep working and improving." But we have to give the fans something. We gave the players a lot of information and they have accepted that. "A lot of work has been done this week and the players' honesty has been invaluable to us. "We tried to plan five weeks of pre-season into a week.

Sean Dyche's sheer energy galvanises Everton with echoes of club's history evident during their victory over league leaders Arsenal.

At the end, as Goodison erupted, there was a brisk handshake with Arteta and a couple of members of his staff, a brief acknowledgement of the crowd in a few sharp claps and then he was down the tunnel. In the eighties, particularly during their Cup-Winners’ Cup success in 1985, Everton had been a pioneer of a five-man midfield and Dyche, ripping up the 4-4-2 blueprint of his Burnley days, paid homage to that. There had been demonstrations outside before kick-off and early in the game a plane flew over dragging a banner that proclaimed Everton “the league’s worst-run club”. Dyche had spoken of wanting to recapture the spirit of the eighties, which is reasonable enough if only as an appeal to the traditions of the club. Most of the time, particularly after half-time, Dyche was bellowing at his defence to push up, with expansive wafts of his right arm. Vast sums have been spent very badly and again the board stayed away for its own safety, but just because there are a lot of things to put right it does not mean that you shouldn’t correct the things you can.

Arsenal are the first victims of the Dyche renaissance at Goodison Park as Everton look transformed by their new head coach. LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - FEBRUARY ...

He had teamed up well with the industrious McNeil but the attack’s hopes were pinned on him, and against a more clinical version of Arsenal, one goal would surely not have been enough. The title, Arteta knows, is his to lose. Dyche had opted for a 4-5-1, with Amadou Onana given license to roam forward and tearing free from Odegaard to sprint up-field and square it across the goal mouth. They made the table-toppers look the worst they have all season in the first half. Dyche had walked into a cauldron; the question is whether he will get out of it unscathed. On this evidence, he is just the man.

Arsenal take on a familiar foe on Saturday as Sean Dyche returns to the Premier League. The Gunners struggled against his Burnley side in the past.

There is reason to believe fortunes will improve on this occasion as excellent transfer business means we now have more in-tune personnel and greater tactical flexibility at our disposal. Despite its various merits, the system can invite pressure and leaves participants vulnerable in wide areas- weaknesses Arteta has tried to exploit in past Dyche encounters. However, the axe has since fallen at Finch Farm and a very different proposition now awaits us as new boss Sean Dyche will take charge for Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.

Everton leant heavily on their Burnley connection for a first win since October as Sean Dyche's reign as manager got off to the perfect start with a 1-0 win ...

Just before Tarkowski got the first goal of Dyche’s reign, Arteta had turned to his bench and given Jorginho his bow. Amid a flurry of corners, he headed over the bar. Yet if it gave them a compact, narrow block of nine players when they did not have the ball, it was far from a purely defensive gameplan. He had put his players through the bleep test on his first day of training and they put in another huge effort. If there had been a pragmatic element to Dyche’s blueprint, focusing on crossing and corners, it was justified. Dominic Calvert-Lewin produced his outstanding performance since May, lacking only a goal to reflect his threat. Bielsa had proposed taking charge of the under-21s at the start of his reign; Dyche made an immediate impact with the senior side. And then they set about beating what, thus far this season, has been its best team, giving Arsenal their worst afternoon of the campaign. Tarkowski provided his usual array of blocks but if he was goalscorer, his centre-back sidekick Conor Coady was goal-saver. Dyche had talked of trying to remodel Everton in his own image. Perhaps [Arsenal](/topic/arsenal), after amassing 50 points in the first half of the season, will not cruise to the title. Only Newcastle had stopped Arsenal scoring in the Premier League this season.

Talking point from Chris Beesley as Sean Dyche helps Everton secure 1-0 win against Arsenal in his first game in charge.

"The players have taken ownership and pride in what we have tried to do this week and I value that. He has done it in a couple of days and Everton played with confidence and energy. It was disappointing from our side; we did not get the result. "I have been here when it has been rocking and it certainly was rocking today.
