Who does Wilmots remind you of? 

That article gave me aids, cheers

Anyone else think that the majority of the Belgium team are Children of the corn? A bunch of soulless, hollow waifs.

[Weckerz 3,781]

You're discussing (lack of) passion when he just gave his most passionate interview ever. Braniacs you lot. Maybe he should wear a hat next season and get a facelift.

I just think they're all spoiled, pampered kids who have been brought up like royalty who feel entitled to everything. They've been hearing for years how great they are and that they're the "Golden Generation."

They do have a legitimate beef with Wilmots here, though. He's shit and has cost them in 2 big tournaments now in a row.

Werkerz you should watch Children of the Corn.

Pretty sure he said all this stuff about Wilmots because he has passion for the game and for his country. Otherwise he simply wouldn't care. Thibaut had tears in his eyes during interview.

Does that sounds to you like the behaviour of a serious professional? If yes, then we definitely have a different meter.
I don't think he has that passion for the game, never showed it anyway, maybe he is crying because he can't get some medal to boost his arrogant ego. Neither you nor me can prove any of this, but I know where my money is.
Again, did DD ever sound this arrogant in his interviews? Yes, sure he did have comments that as a Chelsea fan you don't like to hear, included me, but with a cool head, he never sounded this selfish and arrogant, HE had passion for the game. There is a fine difference.

He cost them? I'm not so sure about that. I'm pretty sure he told DeBruyne to stand on the post... he didn't. And even I know you don't turn away from an attacker inside the 18, Meunier didn't...

That's a great analogy actually.

And all of the footballing World agrees with you Thibo. 

Wilmonts deserves to get the stick, and so do the players mind you.

Belgian players don't know how to behave themselves in the media. Yes, it's true. Wilmots is not a good coach, but he's still your coach after all. Why go out in public and bad mouth him? What will you gain by this? Team should spek between themselves and everything stays behind the walls of the changing room/club/national team. Why would you go straight to the media and just add the fire to the burning house already? Media just waits for this like hungry birds flying around the corpse. Are Belgian players really that stupid? And please don't say that they're "having balls" and "saying what everyone else thinks". It's not having balls, it's stupidity. You stand by your team and manager in public and say your true opinion in private. You say only good things about your team in public or if you don't have good things to say you're quiet. You don't talk shit like a little bitch running your mouth non stop. I'm really tired of Lukaku's, Hazard's, Courtois', Nainggolan's... Yes, they're all good players but they act like really hot women with nice tits and ass. Bitching and bitching all the time. I'd much rather have maybe a less beautiful wife that I get along with really well than some hot chick that gives me grey hair all the time (and is not even worth it because sex isn't that good after all the effort). That's why I'd like us to sell Courtois and not buy Lukaku at all. Courtois isn't irreplaceable. He's not that good you think he is. Goalkeepers are easiest to replace. If the right offer comes, just sell this mouth runner already.

Give me back my French League players or French Africans back already. Players that train hard, know how to behave in the media (if there is issue we solve it in the club and it stays there), play good, give their all for the club and don't cause problems all the time. Give me more of Cechs, Makeleles, Drogbas, Zoumas, Anelkas, Kalous (he was likeable guy that worked really hard, just not that talented), Essiens, Desaillys... And less of Courtois, Lukakus, KDBs, Nainggolans. Hazard is still somewhat bearable.

We've gone in the right way with appointing Conte. He will throw handbags of those primadonnas in the trash and wash the fingernail off their nails.

So Wilmots can say whatever the fuck he wants about his players in public, but the moment the players question the manager's decision making, it's his fault? I do agree that some of the Belgian players lack media training, but this ranting is not justified.

"Courtois is not irreplacebable" . Holy mother of an overreation! So you want Courtois to be sold now? How fucking stupid can you possibly be? Dude, relax, take a deep breath and step back from your computer.

I said that all issues at the club need to be solved between players and management. Of course the same applies for the coach, he shouldn't badmouth his players.

No need to call me stupid mate. I didn't call you that.

Yes, I want Courtois sold because he isn't worth it to me. He's overrated as most of the Belgian team are. We can sell him for a lot and get a goalkeeper that won't be worse than him if we buy Oblak/Handanovic/Navas/Leno/Butland/Hart (yes, he's really good for City). Fuck, even Begovic is good option if we give him a run of games to get back in the form.

 

[DYC. 7,542]

Must be the only one who likes it when a player is actually saying what's on his mind. The political correctness and soulles robots bore me to tears, which is why I haven't watched player interviews in a looong time.

 Hart, Butland and Begovic are as good as Courtois? Courtois is overrated? Amazing takes. Just ridiculous. 

 

(P.S If it were up to some of our fans, we would have sold all our good players by now and be permanently stuck in the precipise of mid-table mediocrity. Basically do a Liverpool)

 

I'll rather have good players than choir-boys.

No one is saying we don't want talented players like those 3. We also want players who like the CLUB and want to play for the CLUB. No fan wants mercenaries on his team. 

Spot on. Also, he was right in what he said. This manager can't take this team any higher, everyone saw that on the World Cup, and yet he still doesn't want to leave. 

With all respect to Wales, they're a good team, but if you broke your teeth on their system twice in a year, you should have a tactical plan at the ready when you face them in a quarter final. 

There were player/manager round table discussions after the loss to Italy because basically none of the players supported the tactics used. What does this guy do when he's not even behind yet? Go back to the same tactic we've seen failing for two years now. Big guy up front -> shoot balls at his head. 

What this team also missed btw, is a real leader in midfield. Basically the player Wilmots himself was. Someone who can take over the managerial role on the pitch and fire everyone up. We have two of these guys: Kompany and Vertonghen, but they play in defense and both were injured.

This has nothing to do with political correctness. Look up the definition.

It's good to be boring in football. The less media writes about you the better. Generic neutral answers to the same questions are the best. Footballers aren't stand up comedians or performers to watch them talk. They're football players that play the sport. And fair play to you if you watch football for players interviews. I don't.

Courtois is overrated. For me those keepers aren't much worse than him. If you have decent defense you can put any above average goalkeeper in your goal and not worry much.

 

[joaosoares 12]

IMO Cortouis is a top 5 goalkeeper and I don't think we should sell him because of what he said in the interview. We could find good available goalkeepers in Oblak and Butland but neither of them are on the same level of Cortouis so I would keep him unless we get a great offer.
