Wasn’t it the Michael Edwards who practically invented the change stuff?

It depends how you use it really, there isn't one stat to rule them all they will just be indicative.
I said back in Oct when we couldn't keep a clean sheet, that our XGC and fixtures meant we were highly likely to keep clean sheets over the next run of fixtures and was worth a flutter. Have coined it in since - and as reported we have the best clean sheet record in Europe over the period.
Equally in the last international window i said our XG was worryingly poor even though we seemed to be scoring, so that proved bar the anomaly at Wolves, for me the value isn't judging it after its happened its predicting were things might go - they are indicative stats rather then absolute ones - im mot actually a huge fan of them but they can be very useful.

Leaving all tactics aside.
Where my problem starts is in the composition of the team is we got are Lindström, Ndiaye and Broja to improve the offense. But one of our biggest problem was the winger position last season in the attack to solve. Lindström and Ndiaye can play wingers, but I rather see them as No. 10 and we got two of them, Broja played winger, but he's a central striker by default.
I don't see McNeil or Harrison as the winger profile that's needed today. With pace and good technique, like Semenyo or Hudson Odoi.
My idea in the beginning was moving McNeil centrally, as I saw him the most suitable player to play the number 10 of the squad of last season, certainly better than Doucoure and get in 2 wingers in the profile of Semenyo that can do the hard work, but improve us offensively.
With Ndiaye that plays winger in the majority and does a solid job there we found one of that player, but as I said he's rather a 10 for me.

Broja deserves his chance, he's burning to show and I hope he'll get the chance and succeed.
Can't have a worse output than DCL despite a striker has it mostly hard this season, much harder than last year.

“A stalemate is a win without the goals” Sean Dyche

What he has going for him I think is that he's shown early he can play a target role. I don't think Beto has ever really shown that, and that's what Dyche wants.

Again, I've mentioned some are tactical issues with a striker we have in the squad, I leave that aside in this statement now.
Jep, Beto is suited for a counter attacking style, but also he needs to many chances, but he's not target man. Dyche needs that Chris Wood guy that is deadly in front of the goal, but neither Beto nor DCL is.
For me what I miss at DCL is the motivation to fight for every ball, I see much more that on Beto or even Broja. DCL did a good job at Wolves helping to force that goal, but I don't know the best word to describe it.
The indispensable will to make myself irreplaceable that I won't to move things, no matter how hard it is to play.
My hope is Chermiti can show what he did at the end of last season, that was also really promising.
It’s all Thelwells fault.

Clean sheet performances - Dyche gets credit.
Failure to score - players get blame

IF we had got rid of Dyche before other teams sacked their managers, would he have been a target for any of them? Reality is, probably Southampton and Leicester would have considered him, and perhaps Wolves, as someone who could keep them up.
Survival is sadly currently the best we can hope for, and the new owners know it, so I think they will seek to stabilise many other aspects of the club and get a structure in place before considering a different manager, especially in terms of approach and style. Either way it is a short-term gamble, and I would have thought that from their perspective there is probably less longer-term risk in sticking with Dyche than making a change now.
Look at Leicester - they've made the change and no improvement, so what do they do now... sack RVN and try someone else???

I think Dyche has proven he knows how to make his side difficult to break down. Full credit to him for that. It's competence in acton. But his style of football plays in a very thin percentages sweet spot. Keep things tight and create a chance or maybe two if he's feeling swashbuckling. To his credit, he has managed to create those chances - but then they fall to Jack Harrison or DCL and, well, nothing's doing.
His style of play - which is too defensive for a genuinely ambitious club - works to a point - but it depends on having good forwards. And if you have good forwards you are probably not going to play the way Dyche likes to.
He'll be well regarded by history. But his style means people will be just as keen to make him history as soon as possible.
