lgfualol Posted 14 July 2020 Share Posted 14 July 2020 We'll be losing 1 nil at half time and Rodgers will bring off our attackers so Mendy, Hamza and Praet can help Ndidi and Tielemans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first part of press conferences is for broadcast partners - TV and radio - and then there's an embargoed section so the papers the next day can have something new. Often you'll see reporters post stuff in the afternoon from the pressers and then share 'fresh quotes' pieces at 10.30pm, stuff the manager says after the cameras are turned off. It used to be all in the media room, both sections, so the broadcast media could use the embargoed stuff later too. BR now goes and sits with the written press in another room which I think is unfair on the broadcast media - the people who actually pay for rights (papers don't pay a penny). His thinking, I guess, is to develop closer relationships with the written lot, he can also give them a private steer on subjects without his words being made public. It's not new - I've had plenty of conversations with football people. They tell you stuff they want out there but don't want it attributed to them. Our previous manager, sadly, made no attempt to develop a useful working relationship with journalists. When he needed some support, he didn't have people he could privately brief on topics, to explain his thinking etc. BR is well aware of the value of being able to get his message across to fans via journalists. Make no mistake, they'll stick the boot in when justified but it's human nature that if you like and get on with someone you are naturally more sympathetic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that they were a team and on a consistent roll of results. That’s not the same situation right now. Mistake aside, schmeichel has been brilliant since the restart and Vardy is likely to win the golden boot But I take your overall point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does come over as very media savvy or astute in some ways, but in others, more like a cheap car salesman full of the blarney and disingenuous. I am very cynical though. It does appear quite noticeable however that whilst there are a growing number of sceptics on here now, there's not a sniff of criticism of any of his decisions, tactics or methods, let alone even mild correlations with his times at Liverpool or Celtic in the written press. His charms and media strategy therefore appear to work well. As you very rightly point out though, it's very difficult to be nasty to someone who is nice to you albeit that niceness has a feint odour of fakeness about it.

Brendan is not wired up to take criticism. Going off into another room to curry favour with journalists is his way of not encouraging public criticism, give the journo’s little snippets, they’ll become hard pressed to criticise him knowing he’s going to not let them in to the next get together should they write anything that he doesn’t like / can’t cope with. He went to Celtic because failure was virtually impossible. Ive said this from the very start about him and stated it in this post: This isn’t a bandwagon with me, I just seriously see his own problems interfering with his profession and ultimately LCFC.

To be fair, they're not alone - plenty on here have done the same. it will take a massively strong mental effort from here, we've lost nearly all our best back 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filbertway Posted 15 July 2020 Share Posted 15 July 2020 We're gonna have an aging championship standard defence out there (Evans aside). A team with no confidence that's scared of their own shadows. A team that has shown no sign of responding to adversity or tough situations. How the bookies have us down as favourites for this game I genuinely have no idea.

sdb Posted 15 July 2020 Share Posted 15 July 2020 I can't remember dreading a game so much. I really want to be positive but I can't see us out fighting or out working them. Right now I can't see us outplaying them either, under any circumstance. They're 100x better than Bournemouth and on the crest of a wave. We're going in with a side weaker than the one that got tonked on Sunday. I wish I could stop thinking about it non stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hales Posted 15 July 2020 Share Posted 15 July 2020 I hoping its mind games by BR! Not many training photos and no training video either which they usually do so maybe, just maybe some will be back and he is planning on springing a surprise on Chris Wilder!
