I do agree to the general idea of turning results around, that did happen. Earlier on though, I'd often put that down to fitness (ie. strategy) not tactics. Tottenham would just run and run until the opponent was physically beat, and then score a couple of goals. Which wasn't a bad thing, I think we all actually quite enjoyed it. But the strategy grew more and more redundant as more and more teams reach new levels of fitness themselves and also set up in a smarter way to last the full distance vs. Tottenham.
Yeah and that is Poch's style, giving teams belief, outfighting the opponent and it was a joy to watch at it's peak, there was 1 stand out game where tactically he changed it at half-time and it was superb and that was Dortmund last season. I think you'd agree most of us have been reinvigorated as fans by the excitement of a new manager who's main strengths are his ability to influence the game tactically and also seeing the game to game tweaks because he's the master of understanding how to combat the rivals tactics.
