What a show off! :"Woo look at me, I afford myself all-inclusive holidays and can run 8k". That's disgraceful sir, disgraceful. sorry
Interesting to see whether he will be preferred to Carrick, whether Carrick will be used in defence at all (assuming we don't sign another CB) and whether it will be one match per week for them both.
Unfortunately, non of those things are anywhere near as exciting as they sound! And all-inclusive's are very bad for your waistline.
I knowIt was obviously tongue in cheek.
, no one would be impressed by a 50 minute 8k run!I'd expect Schweinsteiger to generally get the nod if LVG's only going with one of them and both are fit, but I'd still imagine that the two of them will both get plenty of playing time anyway.
I don't get why people are so harsh! LvG was harsh by saying he's "bad" (sometimes I think it's LvG's language skill and his struggle for better expression that had made him sound so critical but I can't say for sure). It's preseason and he had so few training to get match fit. World class players don't turn mediocre overnight. I have full confidence he will do well to get to his best once season starts.

Have a bad feeling that he's doing a toure. The class is still there but because of his downturn in physicality he just won't be the same player. I get that he hasn't been here long enough to be at peak fitness but even last season he wasn't impressive. Add that to the fact that he's been injury prone he could turn into a pretty expensive mistake.
No sign of him training today. Injured?
LVG can be a bit thick! there was absolutly no need to be so bleeding honest after the match, it is why some players don't get alone with him as a manager.
Schweinsteiger does not have any problems with that...
He survived Gerland and Magath...
Well worrying won't make his body any younger, people.
He's just a young Alex Ferguson from 1983.
Unlike Toure and the incompetent city management, we wont be sticking him in a midfield 2 and expecting him to do all the donkey work along with creation. He's going to be managed correctly.
Hardly that expensive. Plus the fact that we also signed Schneiderlin means we're well covered in any case. Even if Schweinsteiger contributes nothing our Carrick/Schneiderlin/Herrera/Blind selection in midfield is better than what we've had for the last few years.
What did he say?
That Bastian played bad.
Are you always so God damn negative? Every single thread I see your post in its negative!
And why 90% of them enjoy his style of management.
Most players who have played for him love his management style. Honesty is usually best, if you are a man you can take it, if not you're a little bitch and not the type of player he wants in his sqaud anyway.
Interestingly Mou also has the same sort of style
He still shouldn't have said it, didn't LvG say he doesn't like to single out players? because it's a team game etc?
When saying: He thought we were poor in the second half, and a journo asked him if that also included Bastian, he should have stuck to his principals and downplayed the individuality of it.
He does like to contradict himself at times.

Talk about story emerging from absolutely nothing.
Look at the exact quote before starting to criticise.

You mean like watching his whole press conference on Mutv or?
He's always going on about team performances, how he refuses to talk about individuals either in a positive or negative light, then takes the time to talk about Bastian (due to the press) and then speficially excludes Pereira's perfromance from the 2nd half criticsim of the team.
huh?

He's spoken about individual players plenty of times in the past season. It's not some law he's written on his bedroom wall.
Usually when he speaks about players after the game, it's in a positive light after Stewart Gardner starts with "I know you don't like to talk about individuals but.. player x.." by which point he'll say a few good words about the performance.
He doesn't like to talk about individual performances usually, ala when a tabloid reporter in press conference would single out a player for praise he's been known to say akin; "Yes because X, Y & Z.... -but I thought there were 2 with better performances today" giving his opinion, then withholding who those 2 actually were.
He picks and chooses when he follows his principles aka his philosophy that he attests to adhere to so stictly.
But actually I thought that he even did it to save him as he already gave the explanation for it.
That he was bad - but that this was to be expected due to his lack of training.
When I see some comments here the second part of my last sentence just did not reach all recipients. Bastian always was a slow starter - now he even has some days less training than the rest and maybe has eaten the ice cream too much during his holidays - and he had long holidays this time. In my eyes that is nothing to worry about. He probably will do a lot of individual work now, too.
That he is not up to the physicality of the EPL... - that worries I cannot understand. The Bundesliga in the recent years has developed into the league of a lot pressing and fast counter attacks. But - even if he will cover probably the highest distance in the team (he did at Bayern when Müller is not in a free role) he never was the guy for the sprints and speed.
He didn't single him out really, he said he was also bad like everyone else, and that the only good thing was Pereira's goal. That's not really singling out IMO.
Is he still missing training?
Why has he been missing training?
Nobody could pick him out either in the training photos or the video or MUTV's inside the tour.
Nothing official. Should have probably asked if he's still not being seen in training pics and videos as he was not seen yesterday.
My thought exactly!
It's one thing to be honest inside the dressing room, it's quite another when there is absolutely no need to feed the media with headlines that create stirs. Yeah, you can be man enough to take criticism but they are not robots. A little respect goes a long way from the manager it is called courtesy. Unless it was a huge mistake made on the pitch and you can't escape addressing it when confronted by journos, a bit of discretion and diplomatic talk won't harm things. In fact, if your theory is right there won't be many players around for use.
In 1983 SAF was 42. How old is LvG in 2015? 63. What's your point?

Schweinsteiger isn't a teenager to get upset by the manager critiscizing him. Whereas praising pereira will probably improve his confidence as he is just coming through to the football world a small praise can do wonders.
A little knock, hopefully not to bad.
LVG > ''Its a minor issue, i dont want to take risks
