I could manage any team to put 11 men behind the ball. Which they did do. Plenty of clips prove this.

It's about discipline though. You're right, anyone can tell his team to get all 11 men behind the ball, but getting them to stick to it and defend as solidly as they did is not an easy task at all, especially against an attack as good as Liverpool's this season. Managers are judged on their results. If a manager wins the big games and wins league titles and trophies he's a great manager.
