It’s not strange at all but posters do like to position themselves as above a perspective so no surprise. I’m not doing a blow by blow analysis, I’m commenting on a ridiculous comment but if you want to focus on his trophy comments, it would have been nice for him to have shown that against Sevilla, Villarreal or Leicester or is he only suddenly obligated?
But back to the topic at hand. We just lost to Villa & the man wants to talk about how well his midfield that did nothing with the ball, ‘broke up play’. It isn’t just A press conference, the man spouts empty platitudes at every turn. I don’t expect him to lay into the duo, they have their uses but it says everything about the duo when they’re praised in a loss for their work off the ball.
It’s always ‘just a freaking press conference, or ‘just a post match interview’, or ‘just one loss’ with some. It’s in bad taste to assume someone would take that one comment to task when the man has been in charge for years delivering similar sound bites.
