Match Reaction vs Man Utd (home).

[Letters]

A manager also has a wider persepective of the game, which means players will not always see the problems happening across the pitch and react accordingly. The fact that every successful manager in the modern game does it, tells us that it has an effect on the team.

Every fan does it too. Doesn't necessarily mean the players actually listen.

Why would a player listen to a fan who isn't their direct employer or someone they respect on a professional basis? The comparison makes no sense at all.

They wouldn't. But I'm not convinced professional players need to be told where things are going wrong.
I'm rubbish at football but when I'm playing if things are going against us I generally know why.

As IBK said, no one player responds the same. None of us are the same and we all require different methods of management so we can achieve the best in our work place. If football managers, who understand their players better than any fan who only has an exterior perception, knew it was a pointless exercise, they wouldn't be wasting their energy.
