True but he never tried to get players like Holtby or Eriksen involved in the game deeper. He got rid of Hudd. He never looked like a man who desperately wanted a Modric/Xavi type player, other than his wonder boy from Porto that is.
If I recall Holtby was actually playing deeper in his first few games but then kept being placed in different positions.
Maybe he didn't trust them to play deeper...I remember reading something about wanting to turn Holtby into a no6 but that never came to frutition
