    • And if we’re losing 1-0 at 60 minutes, does he get game time?
    • We expect our coaches to have integrity and be honest. Criticising a coach for what he said is not criticising the fact he’s being “honest”. Someone talking doesn’t automatically mean it’s true, it doesn’t mean it’s definitely right. Talking without tact is often pointless, and this is where Marko sometimes lands.  Older generations love throwing the baby out with the bath water, then claim the younger more progressive generations are soft. This has happened every generation prior. Brosque has his view, and it sounds like he had been singled out when younger, but as an avid football consumer for the past 25+ years I don’t recall it being a frequent occurrence in the media. A lot changed after Beckham was pilloried post to post by media for the red card against Simeone and Argentina. **** started changing after that, coaches weren’t airing grievances in the media anywhere near as often. Over the past 10 years, where social media abuse has ramped up, where players now have an online presence and a semi-direct link to any “fan”(/possible asshole), there has been an ever decreasing amount of openly negative comments directed at named players by their coach/manager. That is what decent managers do, Marko proves he doesn’t fall into that category for multiple reasons.
