The Everton midfield rotations: An in-depth explanation by Dyche

The seasoned Premier League manager has been proactive in experimenting with various player combinations in order to steer his team out of their current poor form.

Injuries have meant that Dyche has needed to get creative, especially in defense.

Asked about using midfielders in defense, he stated: “The legs of Doucoure. Mangala with his know-how. Tim (Iroegbunam) has done great but he’s still young.

“People forget he’s probably been thrust into a situation where he probably wouldn’t have played as much as he has done. So we’ve got to be careful. He will do great and keep developing. 

“Mangala is slightly more rounded and experienced. He did very well. Douc too with his energy and legs.”
