Tactically he did nothing different to what he did at home against Celtic. Vyner and Leigh in defensive midfield roles just doesn't work. It's not the players fault, but they instinctively as defenders drop deep and that just gives the opposition midfield more time and space to play around us - as happened 1st half. That's not even to mention the fact that their distribution was/is awful, again not their faults as they are defenders and not midfielders! Fair enough, he changed it 2nd half when Leigh played wide - who would think that putting someone in a more natural position would work?!
We were lucky the huns got complacent and, although we got stuck in a bit more in the 2nd half, it was not a great performance at all. I would say it was a battling performance and no more. 9 times out of 10 we would lose that game by 3 or more. This was that 1 time out of 10. He got lucky and shouldn't be so f8cking condescending towards his critics who have plenty of reason to criticise.
I would be amazed if he gets any sort of result in the remaining games against the filth playing like that. Fortunate point that we will take but that performance does not in any way make up for previous capitulations.
