***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v Everton***

That's no problem for me. But laying it out in the press too afterwards, is totally unnecessary! Here's what he said:

Roberto De Zerbi: “I went straight to him because I was frustrated. I brought him on with a very clear instruction: make the runs, move the defenders, attack the spaces and give your teammates options.

But when he came onto the pitch, I didn’t see enough of that. He was too static. He was waiting for the game to come to him instead of making something happen.

I told him directly, ‘You cannot come into a game like this and disappear. I need you to move. I need you to make the defenders think.’

We were chasing a goal and I needed energy, movement and aggression from him. Instead, there were moments where he was standing in the same position while his teammates were trying to create something.

That cannot happen.

I’m not angry because he made a mistake. I’m angry because he didn’t do what I asked him to do.

This is the second week in a row I have seen RDZ quoted on here that I can’t find anywhere else. What is the source for these? They seem way more aggressive and angry compared to the comments on Tel that I have actually read.

Its the same all of social media, they stick a picture of RDZ being interviewed but there is never any source, the majority is all made up gonads.
 
Also…he’s in a turtle neck in the picture in the interview and wore a t shirt in the game. None of the sponsors match ours.

This matters because if enough of our fans think that RDZ is going in that hard on Tel it’s going to give permission for them to think they can as well. It’s going to lead to divisiveness and toxicity at the ground and not be good for confidence.

The actual quotes I’ve read are way more balanced about Tel.

Think that's poor to be honest. Tel wasn't even bad to be honest.

That said, Tel looks like a lad who has character so may be able to take that and use it which may make others think. Hopefully, this is a RDZ mind-game rather than what it says on the tin.

Agreed.

It looked like cheap bullying/venting at an easy option within reach. It really annoyed me.

I like it. It's something Pep has done and people loved. Tel clearly has talent but needs to start putting it to use and stop facing up his man and dribbling no where. A public call out might be what some of these players need to get going after two years of being awful.

RDZ isn't Pep, albeit I get your comparison and see what you're saying.

I don't think it was anything other than frustration at the result and Tel being within easy reach of an outburst at the final whistle. IMO there is no benefit to giving a player coaching tips in that fashion so publicly (it was performative, as was Pep IMO) and if it is a tactical issue they will absolutely revisit it on Monday. Tel was on the pitch 22 or so minutes and played two positions, with RDZ calling him out on the second of those.
I felt it was cheap, as was his detailed response in the post-match presser.

Just curious which quotes from the presser you found cheap on Tel? I found them quite reasonable in the context.

I am talking about him accosting Tel on the pitch moments after the final whistle. Performative or simply emotional impatience IMO.

The presser? It's out there mate, I'm not being obtuse, I simply don't have the energy to dig up the specific one. I felt there was no need to be so detailed or 'honest', a simple 'I love Matty, we have a good relationship, and anything which was said between us stays between us but there is no problem' would've done the trick. Just my view.
