​Burnley boss Dyche reveals top-six success secret: Be yourself!

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has stated that the secret of a top six success is to remain true to oneself.

The Clarets are currently occupying 7th position in the Premier League table following a fine start to the season and Dyche has stated that playing to one's own strength is the most important strategy in earning success in the Premier League.

Dyche said: "You've got to do a version of that, to think you're going to out play Man City when they've got arguably the best group of technical players in the world, you're probably not going to. That would be madness.

"I think it was Graeme Souness you recently talked about Bournemouth taking on Liverpool in their own game, and they got beat 4-0. That's the opposite view.

"As a manager stick to what you believe in because the outside noise will have every angle and opinion. As a manager stick to what you think is important and never forget you're judged by results.

"If you can do it in amazing fashion brilliant, if you have to beg, borrow and steal and do it in a different way, equally brilliant because usually teams who do that have a reason for it."
