Spot on. Few great players have made good managers. The ability to get the best out of the players they manage requires different skills. There are exceptions, but often where there are considerable other advantages - like Pep managing Barcelona, Bayern and City. I don’t think Pep could do a job at Plymouth, yet Warnock certainly could. Rooney probably just tried to be the Pied Piper and that rarely works because, as you say, those players couldn’t do what he did and needed a manager who could focus on what they could do and mould the team to function accordingly.
Just in case anyone missed it, Josh Windass' goal against Derby: https://www.skysports.com/football/...-inside-own-half-to-double-lead-against-derby Surprised more keepers aren't getting done like that nowadays, but it's a beautiful hit.
Enjoyed the Real game today and Vicious at his beast smacking the goalie who had to collapse next to death.Come on goalie! Your wife hits you harder.....great goal by Modric though.Wonder if he'd fit in at Spurs?
