I think he plays what I like to call 'winning football'. So I'm assuming wing play, balls into the box, one midfielder sit and one attack.

His teams are hard working, close down quickly. Gets it wide and get plenty of deliveries into the box. Likes a 4-4-1-1 with a big man

I don't think you can really determine what his exact style of play is yet, since he's only had one job as a manager so far and that was at Newcastle.

I think he went with the big man up front in a 4-4-1-1 as he had Andy Carroll up front :lol:

It depends on the squad he had to work with.
