Everton manager Sean Dyche would love to have his sides play the style of tiki-taka football that Pep Guardiola is famous for producing.
However, the ex-Burnley coach knows that he must work with the tools at his disposal.
That is the opinion of Steven Defour, who played under Dyche at Burnley a few years ago.
He told the Liverpool Echo: A lot of people think with Sean, everything is straightforward, long balls, second balls, 'we're going to duel', but he likes to play football as well. When it's the moment to do it or you have the qualities to do it, he wants you to play just don't over-think it or over-play it.
I had a lot of talks with Sean because he appreciated me as a technical player. He told me 'even I want to play like Barcelona or Manchester City but if you don't have the players for it, you have to be a realist.'
I remember the season we finished seventh in the Premier League at Burnley, we had some really good moments of football. People always forget that because when they have an impression of you, it sticks, it's always the same, it seemingly cannot change."
