Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says Peter Reid's old tactics couldn't survive today.
On Saturday Poyet's side were booed off at half-time and at the end of a sour FA Cup stalemate with Fulham, in which Jermain Defoe made his home debut and Jack Rodwell was sent off.
He says the high-tempo playing style employed by Reid is now redundant in the modern game.
"I think it was kick and rush," he said. "People think they were very good because of the way they played - it was excellent and worked perfectly for Quinn and Phillips in particular.
"It is a way if playing and I respect it. I suffered myself here, 4-0 at half-time, but I don't think too many teams in the Premier League play it now."
