Sometimes he appears caught betwixt and between. His instinct is to go with what he knows and has been successful with but in the knowledge that the game has moved on and the tried and trusted methods are no longer relevant in the modern game.
Having said that he was regularly successful over a period of 15 years prior to his coming to Spurs when the game was also continually evolving and he achieved this success in four different countries. So he's not as one-dimensional as he always portrayed.
Agreed. It's similar to Spursy. It's a narrative everyone tends to default to. He's still in his first year with what is effectively a very different squad as of two weeks ago.
The Bale sub was pretty much forced on him and almost paid off.
