Press Conference Steven Gerrard Post Match Press Conference v Motherwell

Jesus that’s one steaming pile of deluded nonsense. Even the happy clappy questions.

really worrying he’s taking any positives from that, especially his reference to penetration. They don’t see it.
 
Mark I think you must have been drunk watching Simpson in the first half, Tony Watt nearly scored from a long ball over the top that he failed to deal with and the stupid mucking about on the left hand touchline where he fails to clear his lines and ends up giving possession back to Motherwell in our half
I’m a glass half full kinda guy :)

Didn't see much wrong with anything he said tbh. First half was our best performance of the season. We were incisive, quick, aggressive, on the front foot, created good chances and had almost total control. Plenty positives. 2nd half we seemed to fall back into the protect what we've got mindset and, as it does most times we do that, it cost us. We were disjointed at times and nervous on the ball but still had control of the game and should have added to the scoreline and saw it out.

Probably because he is a professional and has been around the game and these players long enough to know when players need praised or criticised? They got both in his answers and it was a fair assessment of the game overall. He isn't going to say 'that was a load of shite' because we had a poor second half, no matter how much you want him to.

We battered them first half and should've won it comfortably but, he's clearly frustrated that we didn't and criticised both our finishing and defending. Really not sure how you get 'happy clappy' from that.

Yeah it’s a fair point.
