“It is easy for a manager to say, ‘I cannot score the goals or defend the goals’ – that is only part of the truth. If it was the whole truth then why are we so well paid? We have to be responsible for the common things. It is easy to say, ‘But I told the players to do this, this and this’. Yes, I told the players, but maybe not before the game against West Ham and now I have to think about whether I am telling them too often or not often enough?”
