Just to give you some respective as a Forest fan, Cooper could never crack Premier League midfields at this level. I think it is what killed him at Forest, I can barely remember a single game where our midfield won a battle whilst he was in charge and we went through a lot of good midfielders so I am seeing a lot of familiar complaints that we had.
We came up playing attacking football and got crucified so he just went to his low block football. (remember that 4-0 win you guys had against us? That pretty much spelt the end of getting lots of players forward as Maddison just had so much space that game)
You can look at it as a positive or negative but Cooper will always adapt the system/style to the players he has. If you don't have players capable of playing a certain type of football he won't do it. He isn't an Enzo that has a set way of playing which is rare in the modern game for better or for worse i'll let you guys decide.
I watched you against Spurs & it was a mirror image of us under Cooper, we spent most of the game very passive but something just happens in a game which gets you going.
I am not convinced you care about my thoughts about Cooper but for me he was so niave at PL level - he got a lot of leeway others wouldn't have had based on how he got us promoted. He did have a difficult job here because we signed loads of players but he was a driving force behind that recruitment.
