Warnock Tactics at Boro

Warnock uses basic building blocks: a solid back line, a tenacious and mobile midfield and a front end designed for quick counters up the flanks and getting bodies in the box. His shape delivered that. Warnock loves box to box midfielders who work hard. Boro have been more disciplined holding their shape under Warnock, they are compact in defence and counter quickly down the flanks with the wingbacks, or with the pace of the forwards running in the channels or in behind.
