Always very, very difficult to gage appropriate response needed from players and also what is or isn't being said. I was screaming at the telly for both goals, I'm a happy clapper and rarely lose my shit, but even I lost it. Is it good when a player does this, or do you want calm heads and encouragement. (When we played Chavs at The Lane this season, Costa was screaming at Pedro. We all took that as an opportunity to mock them for arguing with each other, whole ground laughing at them. But, for me I think Costa was absolutely spot on at digging out Pedro at the time, or was he? Given how we all mocked them arguing, in hindsight probably better they didn't say anything).
I think there is a difference between negative public displays of emotion and the positive "come on, switch on for fuck sake!" that i think we needed on Saturday.
We have a tight squad of players who (the media machine would have you believe) genuinely care for each other. I think when you see players taking shots at each other and receiving criticism badly it normally suggests some level of disharmony going on behind the scenes.
Personally i dont really care how that sort of behaviour is received by the opposition. They'll always find some bullshit to mock us for. A good example is when Gallas did that ridiculous sit down protest at St Andrews. He got mocked royally, but i thought he was spot on because at least he showed that he gave a shit.
