have you watched the interview ??? he looks well unhappy to me, and what message does it send to the fans when he's out on his own 5 minutes before the start of an important half, when he should be delivering a motivational half time talk....
they came back out and attacked wigan from the off,
i couldn't care less whether hes in the changing rooms 5 seconds or 5 minutes, if it gives it to the lads and sticks a rocket up their arses and they come out attacking like we did i really don't see a problem.
a motivational speech doesn't take 15 minutes,
i once remember when i was playing in a semi-final cup game, we were 2-0 down at HT, we were garbage the first half, manager bollocks us rightly so, he then says i'm going, you can sit here and think to yourselves how much of a disgrace you were in the first half, and how ashamed he was to be our manager,
we sat there like idiots disappointed with ourselves knowing we played like idiots, and between us all we started to get at each other, it fired us up, we knew we had to go out and play, our captain stood and took control on the situation, we went out won 5-2 without breaking a sweat.
sometimes it doesn't always take a managers word to get you going, the players between themselves can do that, i could imagine toure in that dressing room standing up and willing the lads on himself,
like i said it doesn't always come from the manager, self-motivation.
