The comment I disliked was the one highlighted in bold
“In a way, that opening goal back fired. Because they got the goal and that gave them momentum to kick on. It’s that period after that goal that we have to manage better."
I don't think anyone can defend the stupidity of that comment. I'm sure the usual suspects will try.
Yeah but you are banging on about how he takes no responsibility, despite saying things like "we" in the full quote.
And if it's a load of bollocks that we managed the game poorly after that first goal then you must think we did it perfectly by losing two goals? Personally I think we didn't manage the game well but here we go, I'm the contrarian here, everything I say is just argumentative.
I take far more issue with the "we needed to play beyond their energy" line which, quite literally, makes zero sense whatsoever.

My main issue is the "In a way, that opening goal back fired. Because they got the goal and that gave them momentum to kick on" part actually.
My "decision making" comment is more referring to the fact that when we lose 9/10 it's the players decision making at fault. I wasn't particularly making the comment based on this interview (although “As a group they have to look at that. And if it happens again they have to manage it better.” seems to be passing a bit of responsibility to me but maybe I should have made it clearer I wasn't really referring to this interview, just a general pattern. My bad.)
The comment you highlight is utter bollocks too, agreed.
