Yeah, just different styles. I really enjoyed NP's press conferences and even found them entertaining at times, but it is hardly the most needed trait for a manager. LM talks sense and these comments reflect the game. As longing as his coaching is good, players believe in him and we get results I couldn't careless if his interviews are dull.

joe jordans teeth Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 He hasn’t got the gift of the gab but in my experience the people who have are bloody clueless so can’t see nothing wrong here 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1team Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 I would rather we still had NP as our manager but can see no problem with this. He is on a hiding to nothing at the moment, a large% of the fan base are wishing failure/ ambivalent and will pick up on anything negative. Not his fault, down to the owners. Conversely there is nothing wrong with observation/ constructive criticism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_Alligator Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Well, I saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Am I supposed to have picked up on something in particular to be critical about? Did somebody fart??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Very disappointing that he couldn't tell us the winning lottery numbers but otherwise a sound interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivorguy Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 I was/still am a huge fan of Nige, for what he did for this club, but in fairness I thought LM’s post match comments hit every right note. Indeed I have more confidence in him after the interview than before. COYR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 The interview was fine but then again I'm not sure what more could be said than he did. To our credit we came through a game against a team that was in better form than us. The stats will say Boro had more possession, more corners and more overall shots, but we were more clinical with more shots on target hence more goals. Job done we move on to the next game.

If you’d been at the game you’d have certainly heard and seen fans who were as behind our team as ever they were. As to the interview. He’s not here to do a song and a dance. He responded to the questions asked what more could he do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 We’ll all eventually get used to LMs pre and post match interviews and as it did with Nige it’ll take awhile. From what I’ve heard so far he obviously has ideas and strategies on what he wants from his squad but hasn’t yet articulated them well at all. What I saw today was Citys unfortunate knack of giving up a two goal lead that had happened more than once in Niges reign so nothing has changed in that regard. However…..what was different was Citys ability to actually win the match having been pegged back - so a positive improvement as far as that goes. Hopefully it won’t be necessary to do that too often from here on in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since that post I have been out with friends and have just got home, so I haven't had the opportunity to look at this small corner of the Internet. I will qualify my 'not convincing subject' comment by making reference to the noise we were fed by JL and cohorts various about how we were going to be playing on the front foot and all that jazz. What I heard was a story of veiled explanation, which didn't compute with what I expected, the questioning was weak and the answers weaker. Do I want City to win? Of course. Do I want the manager to be successful? Absolutely. Do I think there was some significant issues with how we set up, played and performed today? 100% Doesn't mean I hate the bloke, just amazed he couldn't be more honest and say, 'whilst we were 2 up at the break, it wasn't representative of the game, we were too negative, most passes went backwards'. Today was a poor viewing experience. I really hope it improves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
