Yes, okay - I'll downgrade that to just 'pedantic' as it's you... but he said much more than that didn't he?
You are picking his more innocent soundbites to back your comments. The full transcript has already been posted on here and he was very scathing of his players, even though it was HE who picked the starting eleven, HE who decided tactics, and HE who failed to address obvious issues in the second half.
As the gaffer, you have to deal with all the individual issues and requirements ahead of the game, but once that is done, you have to take overall 'ownership' of it YOURSELF. YOU go in front of the media and take it up the arse for the team / club, and THEN you come away from the media and deal with the individual issues behind closed doors.
He is admitting he was angry. As angry with himself as with the team, I reckon. Best say as little as possible when you're mad about something, it's always dodgy (as myself and many others have demonstrated on here in the past).
He is a decent manager. Becoming a great manager will depend on if he learns from these situations. I assume he has a PR 'mentor' at WHU, although given some of the stuff that comes out of the boardroom, you'd have to worry who that might be...

Pochettino has only won 4 of his last 10 league games. He should be sacked

Didn't Antonio play RB against West Brom and Watford?

He could start by correcting Noble and Ogbonna's shooting
Scoring a goal means hitting the area below the crossbar
Would've been 2-0 up in 10 mins if they had showed some composure

I believe he can correct it with the players concerned (ie all) regardless of what he said in a fucking interview

Pedantic twat? I'm saying it as it's meant. You are getting confused and making a load of shit out of nothing.
Slkav ius a fantastic manager and I think he without any problem can say in public that the team diudnt do its job without the ball.
If it doesn't suit you,vthen you are the problem!

Pochetino has drawn 2 and lost 1 of his last 3 games as Spurs. Would you say he is not the man for Tottenham. No totally . We are a work in progress and frustrating as it is we have had an excellent season. Bilic has been unlucky and made a few mistakes. The only manager who hasn't made mistakes and been lucky is the manager who has just won the league. We need to make an extra effort in the last 2 games with the right selection. I hope anyone who won't be here next season isn't in the 18 in these games.

Do stop being a pedantic twat, you know exactly what I'm saying so stop behaving like a silly child.
His quote word for word was very specific and (even though its true) will not help him correct it with the players concerned. Especially when his tactics were at the core of the problem.

You are way off there CHL. His staff and his players are two different things.
He is rightly saying that the players didn't do enough without the ball. What's wrong with that?

What backpass said.
Once you start blaming your staff in public, you are on the wrong track.

Will Bilic learn from his mistakes as his stubborn attitude has cost us the Manure and Swansea games by sticking with the Antonio fiasco against sides with pacey wingers. Will he yet again blame the players and not his tactics like he did in his interview yesterday. Miles better than BFS but still has a lot to learn.

Keeping and gaining the right players will depend on some form of European qualification
What you talking about I have been informed all year that the reason we have got players like Payet etc is the lure of the OS ....

I believe (and hope) European football is more a long-term condition of keeping and attracting talent. Next season a solid start at the OS including a good cup run ought to be the priority.
Oh and solid financing this coming transfer window to the tune of around 45 million quid.

I'm responding to what others have said, and I don't need your permission to do that.
Stop gobbing off - you are clearly just looking for approbation from the other drama queens.
Keeping and gaining the right players will depend on some form of European qualification (albeit I'm not a fan of the Europa League), and there is every likelihood we've pissed that away.

CHL are you serious? 'Of course we will stick by him'? Are you cunts for real? I mean ffs it could have been so much better with Fucktardyce in charge couldn't it? We've had 2 bad games this one a d Man U in the cup but we're a small squad at the start of development. He needs to build HIS squad then we'll see. If it hadn't of been for Leicester then we would have been the team of the year. Blx to you cry babies, fck off and support Spurs or Chelsea.

Slav was my choice for the gig, so it's not just blind rage shooting.
But I think the pressure has got to him in the tail end of the season, maybe aggravated by Sakho etc - he's had fair bit on his plate all round.
Of course we will stick with him. But Sulli is a businessman first and a fan second... he'll need to be certain Slav IS learning from this, because unless I'm much mistaken, we are about to pay a heavy price for yesterday.
Unlike some on here, I really DO hope I'm proved wrong.

Texas has gone further in the past - he's called Slaven a moron.
Which is excellent comedy.

If Bilic is so very naive, it is odd that Tex is not our manager whilst Slaven is our most successful in many years
Is Tex even a football manager at any level?
Think I'll keep faith, cheers
