That is not necessarily evidence that it is a 'not to lose' set up though. It just means we are not going to go 100% on attack mode. It could easily just mean a balance of tactics. As in 'We know their strengths so defensively we are going to make sure we are tight and not concede'. However the other aspect of attacking is not ignored, and even to the point where there is a focus that when we win the ball back there is a concerted effort to push up and get a goal.
When it was compared with Dyche, that was a typical 'Plan A is to get a goalless draw' tactic. As said, the Bournemouth game was the epitome of that, not even getting a shot away.
What I see as a Moyes away tactic is to play a way that will look to nullify their major threats, but without being overly cautious. Get the ball and we can attack, but still a mindset of being wary of leaving too much space. How many times did Garner, Rohl & Armstrong pick the ball up and turn it into an attacking opportunity, plenty of times. Barry & McNeil looking to press their centre backs, along with the odd Armstrong or Garner press as well. Trying to win the ball high up the field. That is not the 'I only want a draw' tactic that you are seeing.
I guess some will see that as negative, I see it as pragmatic and trying to get the win.
