Does Ole smile too much?

[horsechoker]

I've noticed this recently and I have to ask, is it becoming a problem?

While we've won a few games, I wouldn't say they merit a smile as this demonstrates the players can take their foot off the gas.

If you look at top managers like Pep, they don't smile during the match, maybe just after but not for very long.

I'd much rather have our manager smile after a mediocre performance than the fake getting mad and looking for the camera antics of Klopp and others. It's his nature, just accept it.

Smiling is fine when your team is winning, but I don't know what kind of a message it sends to the players when your manager is smiling after dropping points.

 

[charlenefan]

Is this thread for real?

 

[DoomSlayer]

This is me when my parents ask me how I'm doing.

 

[Mickeza]

There’s no real pattern to his smiling either. Sometimes he smiles when we concede and looks miserable after we score other times it’s the opposite. Very inconsistent.

 

[RUCK4444]

Ffs.

It will be what car he drives next or his favourite colour.

In fairness how much a manager frowns is high up the list of fundamental requirements in football.

“Where are the patterns of smiling!!”

2 years and there is no distinct style of smiling, honestly he should have this sorted by now. Ole out.

 

[Guy Incognito]

As Bet in Corrie once said, "it's not a smile, it's a lid on a scream."

 

[Samid]

 

[Kajus]

Definitely. All that time spent smiling could be spent teaching the players patterns of play.

Exactly, he has big problems with patterns

Damn - even Ole can outpace slabhead!

 

[R'hllor]

Not at all, if i was in his shoes, would smile even more

Is this a joke? These kind of threads are unbearable; do you really have nothing else to talk about?

Shut up, your just a triangular shaped chocolate!

 

[VorZakone]

Some still asking if this is real or a joke. It'a a @horsechoker thread, what do you think?

 

[esmufc07]

Yes and it’s pathetic. It’s all a big joke to Ole.

We are not in the middle ages, he took my number 20 shirt and that's all he will get from me. It's not like one can just shoot arrows into apples. Sometimes the windmills really are enemies in disguise.

 

[Dinghy]

Humiliating his captain like that. Someone should wipe that smile off with a two-footer. Ole-in

 

[KirkDuyt]

I don't trust people who smile all the time. Life isn't the fecking Looney Tunes, grow up and pout like a man.

Also, I find his lack of visible tattoos disturbing. Shows he's clearly out of touch with todays players. I recommend a smiley face in the neck like Ederson. Then he's still sort of smiling, even while he's looking grim like he's supposed to.

I've last my train of thought.

 

[Maticmaker]

Its his 'game face', look at his eyes for the real feelings.

His facial features are such that smiling is his only option, he was the baby-faced' assassin after all ( name he hated). If he tries to frown or look sad it just doesn't work....watch the eyes!

 

[lysglimt]

Do you people genuinely believe he is smiling to the players away from camera when he feels they have let him down ? After Mourinho - how can anyone question if its bad that our manager can behave in public ?

 

[Mickeza]

Exactly, he has big problems with patterns

It’s a very solid smile that does the job but part of me wonders if he could be doing more with the teeth he’s got.

 

[Scorpy]

I think we need a separate thread for what an acceptable post-negative result smile should look like.

 

[mu4c_20le]

No you wouldn't

Agree. I’m one of those who feel he has to go, but while this thread is a joke, I don’t understand people criticising his demeanour in pressers. He smiles and he never slams his players, only little sly messages that they have to buck up. That’s the right way to handle the press. Mourinho is the polar opposite, and look how many dressing rooms he’s lost over the past decade.

Does Ole smile too much and is this becoming a problem?

Yeah enough internet for me today

Yup. If you have played in a team with Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney etc - the idea that he is too nice is just stupid. You can't be too nice when you have succeeded with those players

[Polar]

Shit... «Ole smiles too much» also is a problem

 

[R'hllor]

No you wouldn't

ofcc i would

 

[Sandikan]

Peak redcafe.

It's like when people used to moan Van Gaal didn't run around swearing on the sideline

SHOW SOME PASHUN

Jesus Christ has it come to this

waiting for the “Ole breathes too hard” thread next

Those who still can't figure out what kind of thread it is

 

[Tallis]

Exactly the right amount of smiling in my view. If he smiled less, he would be like Pep trying to convince people that he is happy and if he smiled more, it would seem fake.

He deserves a contract extension on that basis
