tactically he is a dinosaur

the rise of "packing the midfield" formations in recent years seems to have passed him by. He seems to think you can get away in the most important area of the field with a) a shortage of numbers and b) defenders/forwards playing out of position. If you control teh midfield you generally control the game. We only managed that once (Bolton at home) all last season and it doesn't look like this year will be a huge improvement.
