Lindegaard's comments; brilliant stuff!

"When asked whether he was targeting a first-team spot, Lindegaard replied: "What do you expect me to answer? I'm not here to pick my nose."


Journalism has become lazy and immoral - it's nice to see when players and Managers have a dig back.

Strachan was a master at it... he came up with some classics in his time!

maybe they should get Darren Ferguson to do the post match interviews after Liverpool games. Same thing.

Light hearted article turns into argument about something different.

It has nothing to do with lazy journalism.

The questions are there to spark a response regardless of how obvious they seemingly are.

It's like asking a manager his feelings after getting beat 5-0. Sure, he's upset so it appears a silly question but this is all about getting a response.

It is to do with lazy journalism imo.

Many journalists cannot write creatively, or research interesting topics sufficiently, and instead attempt to create headlines out of non-subjects.

I'm not a journalist, but off the top of my head, she could have asked something like "You've played 442 in the premier league and have scored a lot of goals in the process winning comfortably, what made you decide to go 451 in this match" or "This has clearly been the toughest game you've played so far this season, do you the think the team that has been playing in the PL would have done better today?" (that might have irked him a bit) or something like you've "you've played a team today that resembles the starting line up for the champions league final last year, what does it say about your squad that you have at your disposal such a weight of experience who might now be trying to force themselves back into the first team" or "People talk about your striker dilemas, but you've brought in 5 midfielders today who have not started a premier league game this season, does your midfield give you the same kind of headaches?"

I'm not a journalist, but surely these type of questions are better than the oh so obvious "so does that mean de gea has been dropped" come on now

Just to reiterate my earlier point - it has nothing to do with the questions but more about the answers.

The interviewer sparked a response re who will paly at the weekend - people do want to know such things.

Actually, the point had already been made before the game by SAF.

Yeah as Askdannyjeeves has said.

She already asked this question before the game, it was lazy to ask the same question again, everyone and his dog knows that De Gea will be playing on saturday, I would have rather heard SAF's views on stuff like what I had asked rather than which goalkeeper is going to be number 1

Noted but nobody was expecting such a performance from Lindegaard. Reporters are not mind readers and 90 minutes of football is enough evidence to change managers minds.

I'd suggest the person that thinks Ferguson will give a different answer after a few hours, based on one performance, is in the wrong job.
