Omer Riza: “ Vincent Tan “

Omer Riza:


“It’s been coming, but now it has to continue. It can’t just be a one-off game."


On his talks with Mr Tan, Riza said: "I spoke to him before the game. We had a good call on the telephone, he was really calm. He asked me if we could get as many shots off as we can! “


"It's important to get as many shots off as we can. I get it. I understand. But at the same time the opposition don't want us to shoot, but with 10 men it made it a little bit easier for us today. We will always try to do that.

"But he has been good. Ken (Choo, CEO) and Mehmet (Dalman, chairman) have been good. We are always in conversation. I am just trying to do the best I can do."

Asked if he thought Tan would be happy with the number of shots, Riza replied: "I think it was 25! But if we can get to 40 I'll be happier."

“I’m really happy," he added. "I’m really pleased for the players and the fans. They’re the most important things, trying to bring everyone back together. Hopefully we did that today.“

“If I can continue and I make Mr Tan and the fans happy, we will all be happy.”

Tan still not learning that football is more complicated that he thinks it is. I wish the stubborn old goat would just accept help.

I agree but for once he’s probably right going on the previous manager’s attacking instincts

He ll want the keeper dropped next cos he hasn't t scored yet

This was on radio wales news I hate it when only one sentence out of what was probably a ten minute call is quoted..... context makes things look different but it looks as if riza gets the situation and is far more attack Minded than past 5 or 6 coaches ..... so much so we are not lowest scorers that goes to them down m4 so long may it continue.
