    >”It doesn’t affect me because I’m too old by about three or four years, I’m not on social media,” he told Sky Sports. “My kids are all over it and when they see funny pictures of Will from The Inbetweeners, or David Brent, they send it to me and laugh at me. They love it!

    >”There was one about my dress sense where they said I had decent dress sense – my daughter thought that was hilarious. She hates my dress sense!

    >”[The scrutiny] does affect your family, I’ve had conversations with them to just enjoy what’s an amazing experience for me and hopefully they can see some really special days to come at this club.

    >”I don’t think about it. If I think about what people are thinking of me or saying in the media or in the press, I can miss out so many things here. There’s enough on my plate with the job I’ve got to do here.

    >”My motivation is just to make this club as successful as possible and to win the next game. All my energy and time is focused on my players, the team, the way we do the team meetings and the way we train.

    >”The other stuff is just noise, and I can’t affect it anyway – apart from by winning games of football.”

    They inexperienced label is fair in comparison to other previous coaches. But he’s got a hunger because he’s not proven that other coaches just don’t have. Have to see how far that takes him, looks desperate to win and I think it’s rubbing off on the team.

  3. Journo: “Liam, are you bothered by memes?”

    Liam: “No, I’m not a child.”

    Cheers Sky

    I have a theory that Rosenior entertains these questions because it’s low hanging fruit for reporters that distract them from criticizing the players/team. It encourages to cherry pick silly quotes from an interview than those about players or performances. This sub and r/soccer have been full of them.
