Or was he lucky?
Or did he just have a bit more time to spend with his players?

Exactly. Any team staying up on 36 points are lucky that they are three teams worse than them.They stayed up at our expense but that was more down to our failures over the last few games than anything Dyche achieved.
I’m with you most of the way on that Ess, though I’d have had Doucoure over Tielemans every game of this season. Leaving our managerial change so late, and then doing it without a successor lined up, was a clusterfuck that the forthcoming Club Review will doubtless pass quickly over. Yet Dyche was lucky at exactly the right moment, to come up against a Brighton side utterly spent just days after the Cup semi, and managed by De Zerbi (who is Pep-like in lots of ways, not least in letting some matches go, without worrying too much). That was what swung the tide in the last few matches, that and us failing to put Everton away before half time.Come on, he definitely must have a little bit about him to be able to keep them up. They are an abysmal side, truly shit.
Player for player we are better than them, we were just so shockingly managed/ coached. When it eventually got down to the appointment of dyche & smith it was always going to come down to small margains/ decisions. Dyche deciding to set up to go at Brighton the other week in contrast to smith setting out not to lose against Newcastle etc.
I don't get this "better squad" or "better player by player" stuff.Come on, he definitely must have a little bit about him to be able to keep them up. They are an abysmal side, truly shit.
