Sefton owl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Like most people on here will probably agree, monk has done a sterling job this season especially considering the dross we have up front. Not on here to criticise either but has anyone else noticed how every week it’s always ‘We will go through bad times and good times, just like everyone in this league and that’s the way it is’ There seems to be a sense of him accepting how inconsistent we have been and will continue to be; without giving any real insight or solution on how he plans to do this. I know managers basically get asked the same questions every week which must be frustrating but equally, it’s not particularly reassuring to hear him basically saying we will continue to be inconsistent. Anyone else also noticed how every time he gets asked a question his first word is always ‘no’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Footballers are all about cliches, ya know. Like I said. As long as we get the three points at the end of the day. **scratches face, and looks everywhere but into the camera** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else also noticed how every time he gets asked a question his first word is always ‘no’ it’s because when we lose a game supporters think we’ve had it - and when we win they think we’re going up. the nature of the championship suggests you’ll have some up and down results. hes just tempering expectation. It’s boring but I can understand it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Lestrade Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 He's a football manager not an orator. Other than the last match they played, whose fit/injured who are we signing, there's not much else to talk about. If talking to reporters is not your thing then talking in cliches is probably the best way to get through the damn thing. If you want something enlightening to listen to try Christopher Hitchen videos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowl Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 The questions are just awful. I know they were designed just to get a response which can then be converted into an article, but I can't think there's anything particularly stimulating about answering a question posed as: “How important do you think it is that we go on a good run now?” That is a real f*cking question asked by a real f*cking journalist, and the worst part of it is that a version of it is asked every f*cking week. It doesn't surprise me that many managers just treat the press conferences as an obligation they merely have to endure. Having said that, the reality is probably that there's not really much to be said from one week to the next. An injury update is often the only informative part. The rest of what is talked about just means The Star can just generate a week of articles based on what is sometimes only a one or two word response to a mindless question. Still, at least this is better than 'articles' based on the tweeted responses of some fans to a tweet by a player that'll go something like: “The lads played well today. Onwards and upwards!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Neg Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Personally see the opposite with Monk, he sounds confident and inspires confidence even when he speaks about something negative. I reckon its rubbing off on the players too so can agree with the OP 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Completely agree with the OP Monk has done a great job but I also find his acceptance of bumps in the road abit annoying. I don’t like Wilder but his lack of such attitude led his rabble to the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more accurate to say we have the 6th best points tally in the division. Consistency could be anything from consistently good to consistently bad.

Binky Griptite Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The best NFL coach ever: Straight bats 99% of questions, give stock answers, moves on to next week, invariably wins. (Apart from this season... B*stard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Can’t believe people get so irate over press conferences. Infact I can’t believe people even bother listening to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
