Yeah, but the question remains: did they ever have any tactics? It was (and still is) all about Quality (and the stupid 4-4-2 WD). He doesn't seem to follow the league games either, leaving it on autopilot.
Does he just expect to win everything because he has good players? Even if you have good team of 6*,7*,8* players on auto-pilot your still likely to lose some games as we saw with Perfect Tactics last season when dv8r was on holiday.
