And to show how easy it is to misread a PKM:

Rash said you should have pushed the d-line higher. In the Attack formation it is set to 17. I personally think that is the major problem people come up against managing top-class sides. A d-line of 17 works with an attacking mentality setup until a certain reputation level. Once you get that far, you begin to play against very defensive setups that rely on the quick break. a deep d-line does two things:

a) protects the defence from the man getting behind them

b) opens space around the pitch.

What is a weakness at lower levels is a requirement at higher ones.

thanks wwfan for the sound advice, sorry for not mentioning that the tactics were yours by the way

Fair enough i wouldn't know what the dlines were since I have no knowledge of those tactics, nevertheless, we both were right in one regard his second half choices weren't good.

I had no idea his dline was set at 17, that's too high up against a team like Getafe, a dline of around 12 would have been ideal. I stand corrected on what I saw in the first half, but my view on his reax in the second half stands.
