Everton right-back and veteran Seamus Coleman provided Sean Dyche with an honest assessment when the ex-Burnley boss took charge.
The Toffees have won two Premier League games since Dyche took over from Frank Lampard.
Coleman has never been shy to tell managers what they are walking into at the club, having done the same for Frank Lampard a year ago.
Dyche stated to reporters: "With his experience you can be braver with your words and he is.
He will give you an honest opinion if you ask him. With younger players it's hard to speak openly.
But I think he was just sharing a view an honest view and I think that honesty is commendable."
