Quote: gary numan "Agree with that although I'd like Powell to give more indication of that in his interviews rather than give the impression that he thinks things are good and not far off.'"
I think it's a tricky one for him and he has to keep a brave face. When things aren't going well for even the greatest managers in any sport, they try to show strength and positivity in adversity, though it can look daft when the fans know different like tonight. I think too that he doesn't want those disruptive players to win, so by remaining strong, it sends a message to them that he isn't giving up.
