Jose Enrique: “After the game Chris was angry. There were mistakes made by everybody and people know when they’ve made them.
Acknowledging you have a problem is the first step to recovery, Jose.
“When I play well I know I have, but when I make mistakes I don’t need to be told.
Ahhh, that’s less good. Y’see it can often help when that problem is identified by others. Especially in a ‘work related environment’ by those you, er …work for.
“Everyone knows we can’t afford to play like we did in the second half again, or we will lose more games.
Hey, you could be one of those bosses!
“We had a meeting after the game. When we lose it’s worse because Chris is more angry.”
If he’s p*ssed when you win, it must be a mountain to climb when you lose. But do go on.
“The players were angry too. Sometimes it’s better to speak the next day, sometimes the player’s answers aren’t normal.”
That room must have been intense. ‘Diplodocus carrier bag spotty blue Thursday!’
“When you’re angry, you react badly to mistakes.”
That’ll be one of those self fulfilling vicious prophecy circles.
“We need to change the mentality in time for the next game.”
And the hand towels too, I bet.
