Iirc correctly we had to focus on not conceding stupid goals in the first half of that second season, so we played it safe constantly. We also didn’t have the personnel up front to play that kind of slow possession football. It’s a shame he made some absolutely horrendous signings; Schneiderlin could still be here and I wouldn’t care/know, just the epitome of ‘anonymous’.
By the end of the season we had started to look like we knew what we’re doing, and one or two decent signings in the summer, it could have all been a different story.
