How important is the team's state of mind on the pitch?

[Elsie Effcee]

Thought training can produce energy, strength and purpose that may be lacking at LCFC right now.   

Cooper said that criticism spurs him on, does he use this on the players or does he just want to be Mr Nice Guy to them ?

It's a psychological battle field between management, fans and players - so on a football field how important is mind play to get an advantage ?

Football isnt only about being physically strong. Its also  a game that challenges your mind. To do really well in football ,masturing the way cooper and the players think is crucial. This means having a certain set of beliefs and attitudes that influence their thoughts , feelings and actions under most circumstances

 

[Royston.]

Quite important, ask spurs...

Given that most players are technically brilliant with a ball, I’d say that the mental side of the game is the most important at the elite level

Very. 

[Pliskin]

Coopers mentality stinks. @Ric Flair describes him perfectly as watching a PG with the lights on.

Same in golf.

 

Most of the worlds top 500 are brilliant ball strikers but what sets the top 10/20 apart is the mental side.

[Wymsey]

As crucial as the player's quality of performance in a game.

[sylofox]

It's everything. Some players need an arm around them others thrive on criticism. Works just like sledging on the pitch.

 

Get under another players skin to fvck em off.

We always raise our support when feeling the ref is anti LCFC or just plain crap.
