The Burnley manager think what has been labelled anti-football tactics helped Liverpool defeat Totteham in the Champions League final
Too often seen as a king of long-ball tactics, Dyche believes teams who play keep-ball in their own six-yard box will soon revert to playing the long balls from goalkeepers.
Dyche speaking at the Clarets press conference on Thursday said: "You wouldn't coach an under-12 team to play like that – 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."
