I genuinely cannot be arsed with this fella anymore, talks absolute bobbins and talks us down. I’d pay the journos to push back on some of this garbage:
“We’ve obviously made a considerable difference to the defending stats from the early part of the season, so there’s obvious signs there.” Pickford saved our skins Sean, and you’ve got JB back instead of your calamity pal Keane there - could have tried Jake, but nahhhhh, he’s still learning. Leave a couple of young, attack minded full backs out whilst your pensioner pal makes an arse of himself but he is allowed to play himself into some kind of form, even with mistakes?!? Cool.
“And then [it’s about] finding that balance. Me and most other managers talk about it endlessly – the balance between defending well as a team and attacking well as a team. The final moment of truth is, obviously, the hardest as a manager.” It certainly is for you Sean, there is no balance In your setup, we don’t know how to attack because we’re all defending and chasing a hoof, how about trying something different?
“We’ve created enough chances in games – the ones we’ve drawn – to win, but we haven’t taken the chances. We haven’t been that far away. The defensive side had to be looked at and I’ve been pleased with that side of it.
“You want more goals from open play. I think this club’s been challenging itself for five seasons now, where the goal tallies haven’t been that high, so we’re trying to correct that, as well. It’s not just the individuals now, it’s that theme where the teams haven’t scored a lot of goals on a regular basis.” Bore off about the past, you’ve been here years, change your present and future ffs, it’s yours to control.
“The balance is clear for me – win games. I’ve said many times, ‘If fans want the truth, I’ll tell them the truth.’ Just because it’s the last season in a marvellous, old stadium – which I’ve grown to love myself – but it doesn’t make them all better players.
Oh, the players are [Poor language removed] yet again, and you cant be arsed coaching them to be better or to play as a unit better? Great, let’s all just not bother going to Goodison ever again shall we. The sad thing is, if you played and set us up with just a bit more positivity, Goodison would come alive and can make the players perform better, but you can’t even grasp that simple fact, because your too scared to lose the game, instead of being brave enough to win it. You keep sucking the life out of the grand old lady, you’ve put her on her deathbed.
“It doesn’t make everything better. We’re trying to give them everything they can, but it’s not that easy. You’ve still got the opposition out there. They’re not bothered about the stadium and a good send-off for the stadium. They just want to win games.
“So, I’ve never lost sight of that. If we can give fans, a great send-off to the stadium, we’ll be trying our hardest, like we have been doing.” Yet more cryarsing, how dare the visiting teams try and win a game of footy, they should all be playing for 0-0 and then your happy, eh Sean?
Do one you absolute fraud.
