Baines: We have no chemistry

Not open for further replies.

At least they are using the actual quote and not the poocorn headline quote which in and of itself was a leap
Leighton Baines has admitted “There’s no chemistry between the players” is the first line.
"We have no chemistry" is the topic title. Am I missing something here?
 
Ah right, just remind me, whos job is it to make the team gel? Whos job is it to win games? The Tea Lady? SACK HER

If you take their interviews as them condemning the manager rather than standing up and being counted I can't help you.

You are taking a leap from what they actually said. They are holding themselves accountable as senior leaders. They know it's not good enough...they know it's not working. They addressed it publically if for anything to let the fans know they are just as/even more frustrated and disappointed in the results as the fans are.

That isn't an actual quote...it is a leap the writer did...otherwise he would have quoted it in the context it was said. The actual quote is the one from your video

Everton's players have "no chemistry" admits Leighton Baines

Leighton Baines has lifted the lid on Everton’s troubles by admitting: “There’s no chemistry between the players”.

The Blues slumped to a third successive Premier League defeat on Sunday, as they lost 1-0 at Manchester United.

In a typically honest assessment of Everton’s plight, Baines says the players have let the Blues fans down and that FA Cup success is the only way to repay their support.

The left-back admits Everton’s season now hinges on their semi-final at Wembley later this month but insists that performances and results in the Premier League games either side do matter.

But Baines says that if the Blues are to drag themselves out of this rut then and take some form into the FA Cup then they players quickly need to rediscover their understanding with each other.

“You are only really secure as individuals when you are winning games but even then we will make changes from time to time with what is required tactically,” Baines told the ECHO.

“I don’t think there is anyone expecting to have their name pencilled in for that game (FA Cup semi-final).”

“But the motivation should be getting your name there,” he added.

“I just don’t feel as though the chemistry is quite there with the team on the pitch at the moment, and it hasn’t been for a while.

“We are maybe leaning too heavily on individuals to come up with something.

“We’re in games, we were in the game on Sunday and had a couple of chances, but we’re not performing as a team to the level we know we can or we should be.

“Results have an impact on that because chemistry and confidence go hand in hand.

“If you start winning games

“Look at the teams who are having success this year and you’d say they have chemistry.

“If I had to say one thing, I just don’t know if it’s there with us at the moment, for whatever reason.”

Everton are languishing in 12th in the table, on 38 points, with eight games remaining.

The Blues’ home form has been wretched this season but they have fared much better on the road.

But after a limp display, they fell to a second away defeat in the league of the campaign at Old Trafford on Sunday.

“It’s another game where we have come away without a win and we’re not where we should be,” Baines said.

“We haven’t won enough games to make excuses.

“You get judged at the end of the season, and we’re getting towards the end of the season, and we’re not near a position we should be in given what we’ve got.

“We’re all accountable. We try and put it right but we’ve not been able to. That’s the third loss on the bounce in the league which is disappointing to us all.

“We want to win everytime we go out to play and we’d like to go into that cup game with a few wins behind us.

“That’s our season in some respects now, it certainly is from the fans’ point of view and we’ve let them down a lot, it’s our only way of making it up to them.

“To go on and have success in the Cup now. You had the travelling fans there again on Sunday and they are amazing, they follow us wherever we go and generally they have seen us win a few games this season but unfortunately we weren’t able to give them the result or performance we wanted to."
 

Chemistry is fundamental part of working team. Dressingroom must be as fun as a pool of acid right now. No wonder we're so crap.
 
It's a quote.

First article I've seen it actually in the body...still not quoted at all within the context.

It certainly worked for clickbait.

Find me an article where it's quoted within the conversation.

*edit...never mind...same article. Looks different on my phone.

That 'quote' is not the actual quote. The one from your video is actually what be said.

The writer used creative license to make it juicier clickbait.

Until I see that quote actually quoted within the context of when it was actually said, for me it is just clickbait.

His actual quote from the video is far different than the clickbait headline.
