The last thing I want to do is post another unproductive thread castigating the imperfections of AVB, but I began to consider the possibility whilst perusing this article from The Independent (posted URL below if not working). In particular is a quote by Michu which goes
Keeping in mind that this is also the approach of our beloved(?) former leader 'Arry, I wonder if the lack of conviction in the final third, and indeed the ability to score as we have last season, has something to do with AVB's constant, rigid instruction? Now I'm not one who doubts his coaching ability, and I do think he has the potential to grow into one of the best football managers in the game, but as he is still learning his trade (youngest manager in the Premiership) I wonder if perhaps one of his current flaws is in fact the uber-rigid tactics and endless instructions to his players, which hinder them from playing to the best of their ability. Would it be better if he, say, trusted his players more to make the right decisions at the appropriate times, or are the strict instructions really necessary?

He gives the players freedom; he hardly corrects you while you are on the pitch and that gives players so much confidence
