Tosin interview

[FFCBadger]

...compared to the Seri interview was tough to watch.

This is a guy who wants to do his talking on the pitch but I do find it surprising that, especially for a club interview, football players aren't given a bit of media training so in a safe space they can open up a bit. The bland "we just need to go out there and do it on the pitch" stuff is so underwhelming

It is very bad

Personally I couldn't really give a flying if he can be entertaining in an interview or not. I'm more bothered whether he can win all those headers from W Brom lumping the ball into the box.

I'm pretty crap at public speaking myself, although find video calls and presentations a bit easier - so I won't judge too harshly. However, I do completely agree that a some of the players should have more media training.  Some of their interviews are painful to watch and I often avoid watching dependent on who's turn it is in front of the camera.

To be fair, quite a number of the squad are decent - Ream, Cairney, Bryan, Cavaleiro, Reid, Wilson, Reed, Robinson, Hector, Mawson, Gazzaniga, Odoi, Christie and also (surprisingly) Carvalho and Francois. Also Muniz's one and only interview was very good (although it was of course in Portugues and appeared very rehearsed).

Other than that - Kebano, Chalobah, Rodak, Mitro, Seri, Knockaert, Sessegnon and Tete are ok but Tosin, Onomah and Stansfield really need some help!

I remember Wayne Rooney's interview for Everton when he signed his first pro contract. He was like a rabbit in the headlights and I really felt sorry for him.

Oh me too - he could have delivered the whole interview in Mongolian throat song if it meant we kept a clean sheet!
Just seems like a missed opportunity

I thought he was fine, but just like managers/coaches/players who have a mike pushed in front of them just after a game, what was he supposed to say in 3 minutes at a training session?    He struck me as an intelligent guy who didn't particularly want to be interviewed - nothing wrong with that.

This!

Much more concerned/interested in his performance on the pitch.  So far this season, he's been solid.  Hope it continues, especially during big team test tomorrow......

I agree with this. In tosin I just see a young player fully focused on his ambitions and achieving them and if that means less entertaining interviews then so be it.

I am disgusted at the way he ties his boot laces.

The Academy should be scrapped immediately for failing in this vital area of instruction.
