Open top bus parade on the High Road?

Show some enthusiasm for a start. Not drone on in a monotone voice.
I would actually have invited applicants for interviews for the role of captain to see who came across best. It's telling that Maddison got a vice captain role before even playing a competitive game for us. Romero as a vice captain I don't agree with either.
Clown take. He’s inspiring the players by giving them ownership and empowering them to take responsibility. Which is essential in any good team. They have to motivate and police themselves just as much as the manager. You’ve watched one too many sport movies. Teams and culture aren’t created by rousing speeches.
Have a day off, stop looking into things that aren't there.
I have not watched hardly any sport movies. But I used to manage people in large groups in real life.
It was there right in front of us. 2 shit speeches and a poor choice of captain and a questionable vice captain.
I think Postecoglou is a smart guy and a harder worker and should do alright. I just get tired of all the "Big Ange" talk. He may be a genius on the cutting edge of the next big thing or maybe he'll have some early success and then the league will adjust to him. Better still, maybe he'll come in and learn what he doesn't know and adjust on the way to building something that will last. But right now all the hype over a coach who has zero Premier League experience seems over the top. My big worry is I suspect he believes his own press clippings.
The player that wanks it the most gets to be captain. Since Son is a virgin, naturally he won by a country mile.
Mate, is there any chance that you could run Ange through a few leadership workshops? Maybe some upbeat and inspirational roleplays to really bring him up to speed?
I'm sure a guy who has been successful in just about every role he's undertaken and has worked his way up to leading one of the richest clubs in the world would have a lot to gain from your infinite wisdom.
So where else can one get decent sympathy wages for being a fuck knuckle? Asking for a friend of course
Maybe his lack lustre performance was intentional then ?
He's more or less always like that. He's like it in interviews as well. You may see it as downcast and unenthusiastic, but I see it as calm and level-headed. That's his personality; he doesn't get too high after a win or low after a defeat. It's always about the bigger picture and the longer-term, i.e. building something and constant improvement.
At any rate, if you've watched any of his previous teams, you'd know that players are willing to run through walls for him. Would he so consistently achieve that level of buy-in if he was boring the players to tears or they sensed that he was downcast and unenthusiastic? There's more than one way to skin a cat.
BUT CAN HE DO IT AT THIS LEVEL
oh wait.. players are falling over themselves to say how excited they are by the manager’s vision
You're right he should have shouted at the players and made Ndombele captain.
Skipp has improved under Ange. He humbly listens and learn.
Ange wants a ball winning midfielder that make runs into thr box. Skipp just adapt. He will score lotsa goals.
Such a likeable character.

Sign of a good coach , improve individuals performances
Good point. This is the first time in 4 years that it feels like we have appointed a manager that could have the same effect as Poch.
Just hoping we give big Ange the time. Poch's first season wasn't brilliant but it set the foundations for what was to come.
