Yes agree. I think it should give pause for thought when he gets criticised for match day tactics. If you want to get your kids to perform to a particular level, you don't set easier tests - you get them to practice and practice at the required level until they learn. It's as ugly as sin to watch, but here's hoping it will hold them in good stead.
I think this is also part of the reason why he refuses to use more than 1 tagger. He could end up being a failure, but there is method in his approach.
