I’m happy he’s gutted, that’s what I like to hear from top players who feel they have under achieved, he knows it’s not all about him, he knows his failures are collective failures, he and his teammates should be f***in gutted, they should feel frustration, anger and any other emotion you care to add,
It tells me he’s as passionate as you or I cos collectively we all feel the same, but his passion slightly differs from ours, because we haven’t put in the hard yards they have, our suffering is no way near how the players feel, the effort, the sacrifice they make each and every day, week month of a season, the intensity levels they work to, for us it’s emotional, annoying, frustrating, disappointing yada yada yada, but we walk away, we go and get f***in pissed, get wasted, get yer Willy wet, or punch a couple of walls, but once the dust has settled we look forward to the next emotional rollercoaster,
The boys can’t do any of the above, they learn to live with disappointment, frustration and the feeling of having failed, until the next training session to get rid their angst, but when your destiny is sealed and you can no longer influence results, league position or European spots how or what else is there at a season’s end to vent your frustration, disappointment etc.
I’m glad he’s f***in Gutted, it’s the truest reflection of what it means to him, how much he really cares, this is his peak years, and for most players like Mo peak times don’t last long, perhaps he feels his inevitable downturn has already begun, maybe he feels he won’t reach those peak levels again, of course, by the time the new season starts he’ll be reinvigorated and be as hungry as the next bloke.
