Ten Hag press conference - Liverpool home

[IRN-BRUno]

Ten Hag on Brentford

"I think I make myself clear, I was definitely not happy. You can talk abut football philosophy, but the basic stuff has to be good. That starts with the right attitude, a fighting attitude on the pitch. I didn’t see that from minute one. You have to bring it every game."

Ten Hag on Casemiro

'I cannot tell [you] anything."

Ten Hag on Ronaldo

"I don't know why he is in focus after Saturday. It was the team performance and the whole's team attitude, including Ronaldo. He is in our plans, that's what I can see."

Ten Hag on Liverpool

"I know the rivalry, we are the rivals and we have to win every game, but especially this game."

Ten Hag on this week

"It's week, which is normal for a manager, to see game, you have a plan and then you check how the game went. Then you analyse and see what is wrong and what is good. A lot went wrong, but you don't have to talk about anything when the attitude is not right."

Ten Hag on motivating players

"No, it's not difficult to motivate this team. They worked really good on the training pitch from the start of the season."

Ten Hag on protests

“I can only say, the owners want to win. We want the fans behind the team. I am not that long at the club I can see all the background. We have to fight together.”

Ten Hag on the mentality

"It starts with yourself. Follow the rules and principles and work hard. If you do that, you will get confidence."

Ten Hag on approach for Liverpool

"Every game is different, but the philosophy and the plan will be the same."

Ten Hag on responding to setback

"We work from game to game. We know what is going on when you play against Liverpool, especially when you are Man United, so yeah, you have to be ready."

 

[RonaldoVII]

Lou Macari: "Who is Casemiro? Never heard of him. And how many goals has he scored? I've a bad feeling about this."

 

[Nick.]

He gives nothing away. Almost pointless making these threads.

 

[Mindhunter]

Yeah. He is like an early stage AI bot that has been trained for around 2 hours.

 

[Samid]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

 

[Nicoseth]

I love his short, direct answers. Zero BS.

 

[The Firestarter]

“I can only say, the owners want to win $$$ ”

Another yes man

Is what he meant

 

[amolbhatia50k]

He gives nothing away. Almost pointless making these threads.

True. It's as if every reply is a polite and courteous version of "feck you and your pointless question".

 

[Plant0x84]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

Go and tell your boss what you really think of him, broadcast it to the world and see how long you keep your job.

 

[Nicoseth]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

Give it a rest. What's he supposed to say?

 

[r3idy]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

Seriously ??!?!?!

What do some people want him to say? Yes they are disgusting owners and not interested in the club? NEVER going to happen while he is in the seat

 

[Muppetry_man]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

He says he wants them out? Just so he can boots himself out before potential takeover? That would make a lot of sense

 

[Eyepopper]

Big grin on his face when he was answering Melissa, dirty bastard!

 

[Samid]

Go and tell your boss what you really think of him, broadcast it to the world and see how long you keep your job.

Just told him in the mirror, he laughed it off.

 

[Shiva87]

Good press conference IMO.

He came out and questioned the attitude of this squad and said it's not been right. He is laying down the law without calling out names.

Didn't give anything away on transfers or his relationship with the board. Didn't talk about the past.

The only thing I now want to see is him dropping at least 3 of Maguire, DDG, Shaw, Fred, Mctomminay and Rashford for the next game.

2 are quite possible (Shaw and Maguire) and the third will be a statement. Hope he does it and plays one of Zidane, Savage, Garner or Garnacho.

 

[Zlatans Knee]

Lou Macari: "Who is Casemiro? Never heard of him. And how many goals has he scored? I've a bad feeling about this."

That made me giggle

 

[I Am Zlatan]

Love his responses, straight to the point.

 

[Red Dreams]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

All Reds hate the Glazers.
But there is nothing else he could have said.

 

[TrueRed79]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

What a dumb thing to say. Incredible

 

[Drz]

Go and tell your boss what you really think of him, broadcast it to the world and see how long you keep your job.

We are giving such posts too much time.

What a dumb thing to say. Incredible

Seconded. I'd be less diplomatic.

 

[TheGame]

He gives nothing away. Almost pointless making these threads.

And yet some on here always find something to moan about what he says.

 

[Chumpsbechumps]

Was it only 5 minutes? I was watching it on MUTV and it seemed to stop in the middle!

 

[Plant0x84]

Just told him in the mirror, he laughed it off.

Poor quality source. Shocking publication. Should be banned.

 

[iHicksy]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

You're a fecking idiot.

 

[Josh 76]

“Our philosophy won’t change”
Worrying statement!

 

[Drz]

Spoken like a man really aware of the size of the task ahead of him.
Pointless giving the vultures and genuine idiots more ammunition than they need and get on with the work.
The squad is crap, the owners too, and dare I say a fair deal of the media and fans too.

 

[Relevated]

“Our philosophy won’t change”
Worrying statement!

Why?

 

[bleedred]

"Philosophy" from a dutch coach??? Deja vu!!!!

 

[Red Dreams]

I don't know if it is true that some players said we needed to be more pragmatic against Liverpool.
If so those players need to be dropped.
You play to the expectations of the manager.
The Glazers conned ten Hag into coming here.
The players for their part need to give their all for the shirt they wear and the manager.

[Ayoba]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

We should sack him now in all honesty.

 

[Real Name]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

Good hunting I see.

 

[Amar__]

His answers are boring and political, but the questions are terrible and there is really no point answering them either.

Can someone ask him stuff about quality in our midfield, what does he think about Fred and Mctominay what were their post positions? What does he think about de Gea in goal? Who does he see as first choice CB? Is he the one choosing the players they are signing or is the board picking first available player around? What formation does he see us playing? Etc.

 

[FatTails]

“I can only say, the owners want to win.”

Another yes man

How often do you go to the press and publicly say your employer is shit, Samid?

Edit: Seems like you were being sarcastic. I fell for it

 

[Catt]

Seriously ??!?!?!

What do some people want him to say? Yes they are disgusting owners and not interested in the club? NEVER going to happen while he is in the seat

I THINK he's joking. Typical Norwegian. This is how they cope.

 

[tenpoless]

"I am not that long at the club"

He's already resigning.

What do you think he's answer to those questions even if asked.

 

[Amar__]

What do you think he's answer to those questions even if asked.

I don't know, they are never asked. But do you think it's better to try asking it than asking about Ronaldo situation for the 1000th time and get a same answer?
