Burnley manager Sean Dyche says that Liverpool won the Champions League with anti-football tactics!

Dyche has always drawn criticism for the way his Burnley side operates in the Premier League, especially against top six opposition.

But he spoke about how clubs must use different tactics depending on the circumstances, using the example of Liverpool in last season's Champions League.

He told reporters: "You wouldn't coach an under-12 team to play like that [passing it out from the back] – and the time will come when people start playing it longer again.

"Glenn Hoddle was the best passer of a football I've ever seen.

"In the modern game, why on earth would you go up to him and say, 'Sorry, I only want you to pass it 10 yards' when he's got two cannons in his feet? I always get caned for saying that but I don't know why.

"You soon swallow your pride about playing out from your own six-yard box if you stop losing and start winning.

"Check out Liverpool's passing stats in the Champions League final – 67 per cent pass completion, only 280 passes in 90 minutes.

"Anti-football won the European Cup final. There you go."
