I think we do have a squad capable of high energy game. It’s just a matter of pressuring them and flushing out a few undesirable attitudes within the squad, not all but a handful.
I remember Lampard first few games, we were fantastic with lots of energy and desire, we dominated and won. The rs game this season is another fine example. The recovery, tackling and interception stats in that game was astonishing with onana being the standout player.
The problem is doing it on a consistent basis, it’s not beyond the abilities of the players.
I remember Doucoure and Allan topping the defensive chart in the first 2 months under fat waiter, we were playing well but the cohesion was destroyed by injuries and the introduction of ineffective and half arse rondon and the game plan crumble.
This team can play and perform if they put in effort. Out of the 2, Bielsa may push the players to a new limit, I’m not so sure about Dyche. On the other hand, our players might revolt under Bielsa, and the board must back Bielsa if that happens.
Onana and iwobi will flourish under Bielsa, their energy level is good enough to compliment his style.
