[Albion] Potter - emotional intelligence:

[boik]

Robbie Keane. Sublime instinctive striker (remember that one against us in the FA cup at WHL, when Carpenter scored a free kick I think?). Give him time to think and he buggered it up. If any of his many coaches had the sense to mind train him into Jedi he'd have been an insanely successful footballer, instead of one that was sold on every few months.

Andy Cole always seem the same to me. Much better when working on instinct.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Nice goal. He had all the time in the world to make his run and managed to tuck it away without shitting his pants, so something of a collector's item.

Boo. BOO!!!

Is it EI to start every response to a question with: 'great question'?

Great question! (I think for me it's habit from speaking at conferences occasionally, a role I'm very uncomfortable with, and needing time to think of an answer rather than stand in silence gurning like I'd suddenly ingested something illegal. If I'm really stuck I'll buy even more time - "...actually I'm going to turn it around, this is a room full of experts with diverse experiences and backgrounds we can learn from, what do you all think? Who'd like to give their view?" There's always at least one person who wants to.)

But also, many of the questions are genuinely great questions. Any question that makes us think differently or approach things from another side is helpful, and sometimes just the act of articulating something in response to a question or challenge will give the answerer fresh insight too. Everyone's a winner! So, erm, great question

Great sentiment, shame about the source.

I'm pretty certain he does not tick all of John Terry's boxes.

Potter (currently/increasingly) ticks all of the boxes for every lazy hack and pundit. Delve deeper and his approach will smash into lots of dinosaur football thinking and supposedly enlightened societal thinking. Classic examples being GPott’s holistic personal/character development over purely football development and the “result” always matters; the important factor being how losing or winning benefits personal/character development.

Yet, last season, one from the top took 6 of the easiest points available off one from the bottom.
