AppyDAZE Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Reading all the comment (I've made some too btw) but I'm actually starting to feel a bit sorry for the bloke now In all honesty, there isn't a person on earth who doesn't have their own way of talking, and i guess this is just his way after all. Come on LJ. Let's win the next 2 league games, get that cup tie in the bag, and i promise you can say "If you will" or "D'you know what I mean" as much as you like fella.

"we didn't really have any strikers...... er well we had Semenyo.... maybe I should have put him on" "I've never liked the phrase wake up call because for me that implies the performance state of mind wasn't strong enough in the first place" (wtf) "our in game management needs to be better" (ha ha ha ha - would love to hear the elaboration of that one) "running on fumes with no idea" "simplicity is genius" and the stunning finale: "you'll be surprised what will happen when you do your job extremely well" Pure unadulterated cliched drivel.

Cidre Monita Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I do not rate LJ in his current position, but I would have to say this dedication and hard work cannot be faulted. He is giving it his all. All managers have strange expressions,. Anyway, LJ does have a great record in football speak, though his team talks are pretty good. Try , if we are only 1 nil down at half time we are in with a chance. I know what he means, but really . He needs to go away, reset, study his errors, and work at a higher level behind the scenes and learn his trade. Too much too soon for someone who is dedicated but not an exceptional talent. He has time to come back. A promotion from L1 is just what he needs. Less of the David Brents' tho . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often think the same, as I feel he’s never had a football philosopher to work with other than his dad (no slight on Gary either). Imagine how much he’d learn as assistant to Pep or Jurgen. Give himself a reboot. I always imagine Southgate asking him to be his assistant but LJ turning it down because he thinks he should be Manager!! ...and he without question believes he is a better manager than his dad. Might understand the tactical side better, but a lot of man-management to improve first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good one. The phrase should be 'throw the baby out with the bathwater', meaning to lose something good by trying to get rid of the bad. But I think he's using it to say we won't get ahead of ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
