Uncle Si":132004xc said:its astonishing really. Liverpool in constrast have looked like world beaters in 85% of their matches, yet only hold a 2 point advantage.
It is surprising, for sure. It shows that AVB's tactics were fairly sound (if not necessarily ideal...) but his failure to adapt did him in. Playing a high line with slow/incompetent backs against Suarez and Aguero with their talented and fast midfield support was a fireable offence. Especially the second time around against Liverpool. When the personnel were right his style was hard to beat, even if it didn't always look great.
