Sean Dyche emphasized that Manchester City's recent slump has altered perceptions in the Premier League, making opponents more confident as stats favor them. He likened it to the changes seen after Sir Alex Ferguson's departure, where teams began to believe they could compete more effectively. He reflected on the changing atmosphere, stating that even strong teams like City can face difficulties, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the Premier League that can affect even the best squads.
When discussing the current dynamic in the league, Dyche stated, "That's just the way sport works. If a team starts suffering a little bit then it adds belief to whoever is going there," underscoring how shifts in performance can bolster the resolve and ambitions of visiting teams. He noted, "It’s not down to one team or one result, it’s down to that feel, and that is what changes. If we can capitalize on that then great, but it’s not that easy. They are still a top-class bunch of players."
Dyche remarked on the competitive nature of the Premier League: "The challenge of the Premier League means that sometimes it can even happen to the superpower clubs. That’s how powerful the Premier League is." He pointed out that City's struggles highlight the quality and unpredictability of the league, stating that even teams with depth and talent may falter due to injuries or just poor form, which can drastically affect their performance.
