Fair enough. I would suggest that on tactics alone, hoofing into the channels is hardly indicative of 'deep thinking'.
I also think had the rest of KB's plan been carried out - ie keep a bit of possession and play it through midfield - they would have been the right tactics. With regards to KB's ability to get us up, next season is the clincher - if we aren't right up there by November I expect he will be gone anyway. Some people were saying to get rid of him last summer because although he saved us from relegation, that's as far as he could take us - and he has proven those people wrong this season! > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 23 May 2006 10:09 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [LU] Post-mortem > > > > >Where is it widely acknowledged he isn't a deep thinker? > > Have you heard the bloke speak?
