Thommo should put things into perspective.
He was the assistant manager, probably had a very big say on the tactics and look at how we played! My god, such dire football and a man like him who was a cornerstone in the Liverpool side which dominated the English game and conqured Europe did not play ultra defensively with a great worry about losing but went out to pass opponents off the park and pressed them into submission.
The way those 2 were going about and having been given a sixth year after declaring there was a five year plan, he had to go with the change in the playing management.
