Rooney wants some players
Dion reckons we have a good team
Dion could have been asked as a defender why are we conceding so many goals and his thought process but the interviewer didn't seem interested.
The players just don't seem to be behind him so his comments don't match what fans are seeing with their eyes.
I wouldn't say they hate the bloke but it's hardly blood, sweat and tears stuff is it to try and save him.
Sandersonnnnnn, Dion
He’s our centre back, Dion
Playing total cack, Dion
Captain material no nooooooo
(repeat)
Strange interview.
Media team are obviously going to ignore the anti Rooney chants but to speak about the singing after the game in a positive sense is bizarre.
He also says we’ve gotta get three points against Hull…in the FA Cup.
It’s an interview via the official club channel, there’s never going to be anything remotely close to a testing question being asked, 99% of these are pointless watching.
We could lose 5 games in a row 5-0 and they’d no doubt still be spinning positives or at least avoiding asking the difficult questions.
I dunno - I don't really see it as players not trying as a collective. Look at the first half - and example was Sanderson (I think) throwing himself in front of a shot, then Sunjic sliding in to take the rebound of a Leeds player's toe. Aiwu, under pressure, winning the ball in the corner and and winning a free kick, etc. I think they look dispirited and a expecting to lose after the first goal went in, and I think there's the confidence factor that might put a few percent on their game, but generally I don't see them not trying.
There were a couple of instances later on - Bacuna looked visibly dejected and Burke jogged after a ball that he'd just lost, but I think that generally the physical effort's going in.
