He went on ridiculous. I've probably only really seen him interviewed before without taking much notice of how he behaved in games. I quite like him and seems a nice sensible bloke. He was pretty calm after the game and shook RLB's hand etc without issue. It annoys me when managers contest every tackle that's it's a foul against their team or not a foul against the opposition. I find the fans being biased bad enough but professional football staff who've played the game know when it's a foul or not generally yet they still behave like fans screaming for everything.
 
He knew his players struggled to cope with the atmosphere from the crowd. He alluded to it in his interview but blamed the ref. I wonder if he’ll rethink that after a few weeks, cos I still don’t think he’s the spoilt bairn that Arteta and Guardiola are.
 
As a team manager he contributed the sum total of zero to his team’s performance yesterday. His total lack of self control only served to fire Us up and if anything seemed to confuse his own players who also lost the plot. Our own manager however remained calm and made tactical changes which actually affected the play to his desired effect. Maybe with hindsight Bournemouth may want to reconsider their approach.
Thanks for the 3 points though, much appreciated
 
Canny embarassing a grown man behaving like that in such a position. Had his arm around the linesman to try and butter him up at one point. Was like watching that steve bracknall fella but in real life
