He seems to get confused between how he thinks things should be and how they actually are. If he trusts his players and they go out there and pit technical wits against what he considers to be the crude version of the game then the technicians will prevail. He should be in another league really, the PL is the most unsuited league imaginable for the type of football he wants to play. Unfortunately when he does compromise, as we have seen over the last few months with his negative response to the team grabbing leads, he's exposed as a rank amateur. If we're going to do the defensive, time wasting thing the players should be adding the finishing touches by diving around the place and feigning injury and trying to get the opposition sent off - the usual PL stuff. We don't do any of that, not properly at least.
