Does Ralf Rangnick shrug his shoulders too much?

Here we see what scientists call "the duality of shrug"

We see one of his bigger critics in the Manchester United forum praising the amount of shrugging he achieved in today's press conference.

Yet RedSky, in a completely un-edited post that is presented in it's full intended context has suggested that he is irritated by said shrugging.

What say you Caf ?
Shoulder shrugging?

MAKE HIM DIE, MAKE HIM DIE WITH FIRE!

Seriously, what the feck is wrong with you people?

I feel he needs to expand his shrug repertoire. It's always the same shrug which is very annoying. Maybe throw in a wink or a death stare to switch it up a bit. Top managers have a huge variation of shrugs.

I agree. We need a world-class nose picker like Joachim Löw.

This is beyond acceptable.

In a way, aren't we all?
I have definitely known some people who live on drama, especially narcissists. And soccer journalists.

As an aside, it must be strange to meet a German narcissist. I bet they have a long list of very convincing reasons why they're better than me.

Thinking up of my next genius thread
At least he doesn't smile unlike his predecessor. He just is a beast at the gym at barbell shrugs and rack pulls(the only people other than him that do this are idiots)

Ralf loves to give really long paragraph answers to one line questions & he also shrugs his shoulders.

There's also another guy who gives long answers + says "I dunno" at the end:

I'd like him to refine it to a one shoulder shrug, á la Ancelotti's eyebrow.

Ralf shrugs his shoulders at pressers often because;

a) he does not understand a question?
b) he does not think the question is worthy of an answer?
c) he is giving himself time to think/formulate a response to the question?
d) he doesn't give a sh**?

I count 57 instances of shoulder shrugging in this interview. To answer the thread's question, I think it's safe to say this is definitively, objectively, too much.
