Why is Vlade remotely being bashed in here. He brought in KK/WCS and tried to get Matthews if you think that guy isn't trying to put a defensive team together than I don't know what to say.
The gist of the article (accurately stated) is that Karl's scheme leaves players out of position because of its incongruity relative to today's style of play. More so, even if it were an effective zone scheme, which it isn't, it isn't at all suited to our players.
What you pull from it is, "hey, Rudy is out of position. He's not working hard."
Goodness -- That's not all that I pulled from it, but thanks for twisting the words. Obviously, without me having to point it out, the defense is an absolute disaster. The defensive scheme is terrible. The defensive abilities of the majority of our players are terrible. I was just pointing out an obvious case where the defensive scheme caused stagnation, which our players can not afford. Perhaps my articulation was lacking... forgive me for adding to the conversation.

So I made a mistake of listening to Karl with Grant interview from the 12th of February and all I am hearing is the same recycled crap. Enery, effort, blah blah blah! Bookmark this, nothing will change defensively after the break. He might, and I emphasise might, slow down the pace a bit.

Well, in all fairness, it was the one point you really stressed in your post. Easy to see how it looks like that is what you thought was the most important part of the article.
