lake district canary 4,531 Posted August 21, 2019 I love the way the pundits have latched on to the word "naive". Farke brought the word to attention as he uses it quite alot in interviews - but he sees it as a good thing - whereas some pundits that have kind of latched on to that word as if it is a bad thing. For our Daniel, naivety means simply that we do not have any mental baggage that some perhaps more experienced PL players pick up - that we can go about the PL with a freshness and a lack of fear about it. So yes, we will be naive and brave as Daniel says, but that naivety is one of our strengths, not weaknesses. I wonder how long it will be for some pundits to twig it.....

The Bristol Nest 513 Posted August 22, 2019 I don't like it. When a Liverpool plastic called us naive I asked him whether he really thought that our coaches didn't know what to expect and failed to plan accordingly. Should we park the bus every week and dutifully wait to be rightfully beaten? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted August 22, 2019 After the Liverpool game, some said we couldn't defend and others said we need a goalscorer to take the chances we create. Take your choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted August 22, 2019 Is the person would said we would qualify for Champions League football this season naive? I would say so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I love how he pronounces it 'knave'... Which means a dishonest and unscrupulous man... Something Farke definitely isn't, but something that could well be applied to others in football!
