I thought he prepared the team very well for the Boro game and reacted very quickly to when Boro made changes and were threatening to get back into the game.
1) Boro starting to get hold of midfield - off went a tiring Cabaye and on came McCarthur
2) Boro started playing root 1 to Gestede - on came Dann and Schlupp and we play with 3 centre halves and wing backs.
The players brought in have definitely given us more options and strength in depth

I think the real point here is that we have players of the quality of Macarther, Schlupp and Dann on the bench now.

I though he should have taken Zaha off for Schlupp earlier but in the end Van Aanholt got cramp. We have long needed a player like McArthur to bring on to stabilise and add a bit more energy late on, the problem has been with him starting he starts to fade and then gets taken off along with Cabaye if they're both playing. For me Milivojevic and Cabaye have to start but McArthur HAS to finish the game, especially if protecting a result.

At least he's making the obvious changes unlike his predecessor who made baffling changes.
