At best, he’s descriptive of the obvious, and at worst, he repeatedly highlights our specific weaknesses across the park, effectively handing the opposition a free playbook. He’s nowhere near Kettlewell levels of verbose crap, but I still often come away wondering whether he’s actually said anything that couldn’t have been covered in three minutes. And that’s fair enough, I suppose. Maybe I’m being overly negative, but we need to start seeing some tangible results from whatever it is he’s trying to implement, and I hope we see some of that on Sunday. To be fair, when you get asked whether you are worried that the fans will not love you as much because the previous manager was better looking than you, Im not sure where he has to go! 😍😍😍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need insightful questions for that to happen. He did make some interesting comments about the central defenders, and our sixes and tens, but the journos were more interested in looking for inflammatory quotes they could print about Celtic being poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you may be right, as that was a dreadful interview from the pretend journos. It’s all just feeling a bit uninspiring at the moment.

I stopped listening to them because of the banal, same repetitive pish the Jourmos asked. Even JBA looked totally bored with them at times.

It’s all just feeling a bit uninspiring at the moment. I think there is a general malaise right now because the sexy possession football stuff has been shown to be fallable. The overall feeling hasnt been helped by the fact that the SFA went down that route with Poconogli and the start he has had has been less than inspiring. Of course this totally feeds into our media machine and their old pals network of dinosaurs who are desperate to show that "Scottish Players Canny Play that way" Willie Miller on Sportsound on Tuesday night was a case in point. I did listen to The Hampden Roar Podcast today though and they had the Raith Rovers analyst on who has his A Licence and he was very much of the opinion that decent players of all levels can be coached to play this way and it just needs a bit of time on the training pitch. Hopefully we see an improvement on Sunday and, if Alfred is to be believed, the other side of the November break will be the time to truly judge him and this Motherwell team.

Much could have been covered in a few mins or give me the highlights of the conversation. Partly because the questions aren't great and partly because there wasn't that much content. But without wanting to ripped apart here. - I don't find him that engaging and if I was a player listening every day I don't think I'd he'd fire me up. That doesn't mean he won't do well etc , more of an observation at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we hadn't lost last 3 games I don't think its even up for discussion. Jens at times didnt look enthusiastic but in dressing room a different beast and I have no doubt Alfred will be the same. He's following a tough act which I think has been one of the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago And if a ref was brave enough to award a last minute pen for a potential winner, VAR would have him summoned to the monitor in 0.00001 seconds for a wee chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Jen’s was incredible and engaging. Not saying all managers will be - but listening to Alfred for 10+ mins was tough . Don’t worry , 3 pts at the weekend and I’ll be signing his praises To be honest I’m just looking for a better team performance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
