Apparently his preferred formation is a 4-2-3-1, utilizing a double pivot. He likes to press high, regain the ball and utilize fullbacks pushing up to help in attack. Sounds very similar to Klopp's preferred style of play in a lot of ways.
Honestly, his report card is very similar to Alonso's so far as his experience managing, but obviously a little weaker league and he was never the player that Xabi was.
Xabi was always my number one pick...after him it's not that I don't care, but I don't feel too strongly about anyone else.
At least this has squashed the Mourinho chatter
