Press Conference | Marco Silva Pre-Bournemouth

[WhiteJC]

Marco Silva sat down with the broadcast media ahead of Friday night's game with Bournemouth at Craven Cottage in his latest press conference.

[Fernhurst]

Marco is fed up with reporters trying to make tomorrow "Title decider" or Heavyweight Championship fight between himself and SP. Tried desperately to convince the journalists it was "just another game" and in fairness it is,  but tomorrow night we may have put some daylight between ourselves and the chasing pack for the first time this season.
Didn't look too comfortable when questioned about the illnesses. Do hope all are well, noravirus is virulent and debiliating.
Altogether confident performance by a Premiership Manager.

Good luck to all staff and players tomorrow.
COME ON YOU LILLYWHITES.

I'm very, very worried....at 3:45 the Mysterons make an appearence..... Is Marco Captain Black

[Dodgin]

he didn't look happy

[St Eve]

I think that he handles himself very well

[Andy S]

The reason he wasn't happy was because the questions were mundane. I wonder where the intelligence is from these so called reporters. Meanwhile Marco does not intend to give anything away.

Just a point, if Marco doesn't intend to give anything away then what's the point in taking the trouble to conceive of a less mundane question?

Mundane is being kind to the reporter, it seems to be the trend for reporters to ask a question and then put their spin on it before the interviewee can reply. Those questions were embarrassing, and yes Marco wanted to be somewhere else.

[RaySmith]

He must be contractually obliged to do this sort of thing- it's expected anyway, but he obviously wants to  downplay the  title decider,  'must win', game of the season talk -
because that  just puts added pressure on the players - while the journos are eager talk this up for a sensational story, and don't seem very interested in  anything else Silva has to say.

Nearly every week, Silva  gets irritated with the journos' emphases and questions - they just want to  create a story, while he  wants to get on with his job of managing his football club, in as low key a way as possible.

+1. He looked bored sh*tless during that Press Conference.
