Dyche on strikers, Cornet and calmness

  • Published

Sean Dyche has been speaking to the media before Burnley take on Leicester on Saturday.

Here are some of the key lines from the Clarets boss:

  • He says there is always a calmness to how they work. "The players think they have been playing well and I do. There's a belief pattern that we are competitive outfit"; 

  • On Maxwel Cornet: "You’re looking to add players who can affect the group in a positive way. He’s had a good start but he’s still getting used to the football here. With respect to Rochdale it is a different challenge to Leicester";

  • Jay Rodriguez scored four goals against Rochdale in the League Cup and Dyche says he has always had faith in his strikers: "The biggest pressure I put on them is to be in there to score. It seems a strange thing to say but sometimes strikers get a bit fearsome and don't want to get in to the danger areas as often, almost a strange fear of missing a chance".
