Yeah, I think so, Joel.
There's been times this year where he's been coming back from injury and...
You know, the modern day with the sports science and the loading and data and, you know, he needs another week, he needs another two weeks.
And when you speak to him, he's like, no, I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to play now.
He got injured again.
He'd come back from his cruise ship, been out for over a year.
We got him back fit and then I think it was Boxing Day at Hillsborough.
really innocuously pulled his hamstring, he weren't even sprinting, he just went to control the ball, and that was a bit of a sign really, that he probably wasn't as ready as maybe we thought he was, but we're lucky enough, we got him back fit before the end of the season, you're right, the second leg, away at Millwall, didn't have his pads on, didn't have his boots on, so Sergi being Sergi, just turned around to Geldar and said, come on, Geldar, you come on, Joe, you can come on instead, so any man for himself, Joffa couldn't wait to get his bib off and he stood.
Still doing burpees at the front and luckily Mo, because he went on to score the winner, obviously a brilliant, brilliant goal.
Luckily he was ready to come on the pitch.
So you are right.
There are certain types of individuals and personalities that you've got to manage, but I think our experience in the game, talking probably myself and Andy, yourself, over the years you pick up little nuggets from managers you've played for and your own experiences as well.
Just on personalities...
Tell me about the owner.
I met him on Saturday, him and his entourage that are with him.
Great bunch, which is absolutely buzzing.
But he was very much level-headed.
Great, great quote from him.
He told me even Real Madrid wouldn't have been able to score past us once we took the lead.
