True. He looked lively, but achieved what? Why didn’t Cocu start him rather than Waghorn, hardly fair bringing him on when the game is almost lost.

It's possible that's exactly why he brought him on. Cocu could have said to the lad something along the lines of, 'There's no pressure, the game is all but lost. Just go out there, enjoy yourself and see what happens.'

I hope he didn’t say that - even at 3-0! FFS!

He could say that to relax the lad. Not because he believes it.

You could make an argument for it in all fairness, there were that many players out there that didn’t show any fight. We don’t have the squad to do so of course, but you’ve gotta swap out the worst performers. Lawrence was one of those.

You could make an argument for it, just not a very good one.

I thought that it was Chris van der weerden or Twan who speak to the lads coming on, whilst Cocu busies himself giving out the Paddington hard stares..... .?

No I’m sorry he shouldn’t say it, how could you think it’s a good idea.

Because managing people involves saying different things to different people in order to motivate them.

But some things shouldn’t be said. There’s always another way to saying something.

Pat on the shoulder for example. Know what you mean I think Roy. Sometimes if you're someone of few words, just a gesture can work.

.....and stroking his beard. 

I think Cocu could bend spoons with sheer will power and concentration. Unfortunately that doesn’t help us.

...be more useful if he could still bend crosses and direct free-kicks ?
