12:45 onwards talking about the finer details that will allow us to get our confidence back on the ball. Sounds good so far. I like what I'm hearing and think it will be easy to like him. I think he gets us too - or certainly has the experience and openness that will allow him to in time.

I do like what he has to say to be fair but he does talk a lot. He comes across like he is in a job interview in all the interviews, all about him and trying to prove himself. I imagine this will get better, as - to be fair - a lot of the questions there were about him.
Upthecity!

I do despair at the "Ooh, do you like the bright lights Bob? Not what your used to is it?" questions. I'm much more interested in how he will approach tactics, training and players, than watch him have to spend 10 minutes explaining that he's managed for quite a while and has been in a stadium with more than ten blokes sitting on the back of their pick up trucks watching before. If they are going to ask him on personal opinions, I do like to know if he's managed to get out and about in the local area and has he met many fans? From the American articles I've read, their journos have been making ours look like utter morons over the last fortnight
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human furcking beings! You are nothing but unorganized, grabastic pieces of amphibian sh1t! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn."

He does talk a bit doesn't he! I guess we've forgotten what that's like after Frankie's 5 sentence pressers.
The questions are daft. He's constantly being asked to prove himself as if he's a fresh coach in his first year. Yes, he's the first American. But he's watched football all over the world and been to a world cup. He's hardly going to be surprised at what our players can do. He's been to the Emirates several times apparently, spent time watching them and speaking to Wenger. He's being treated like he's a dumb rookie imo, rather than an international savvy coach with 30 years experience in the game. If he was English or Welsh, or Italian ;-), people would be saying he's too old and too gaunt.

This is funny because when he coached the US a big criticism of him was that he didn't say much or provide much information in press conferences and interviews. Fans didn't know what he was thinking or how things were within the team. This seems to have changed since going Egypt and Europe. Perhaps he feels a need for people to get to know him and trust him more than when he was in the US.

To be fair I felt like he said too much, on the topic of who's fit. I would have been very vague especially around llorente so arsenal wouldn't know who would be starting up front.

Patronising crap isn't it.
What's up with Jeff anyway if he's still not training?
