Motherwell's Title Dreams: Manager Urges Short-Term Focus
22 Feb
Summary
- Motherwell secured a decisive 5-0 victory, moving them 10 points behind league leaders.
- Manager Jens Berthel Askou praised fan excitement but stressed focus on one game at a time.
- The team boasts an impressive record of one loss in 19 league games, conceding only six goals.
Motherwell delivered a dominant 5-0 performance, significantly narrowing the gap to the league leaders. Manager Jens Berthel Askou responded positively to fan chants expressing title aspirations, stating, "We want them to enjoy what we do." However, he tempered expectations by stressing the need for a short-term focus, "one football game at a time." The team's current form is exceptional, with only one defeat in their last 19 league outings and a remarkably strong defensive record, having conceded just six goals during this period.
This emphatic victory marks their biggest of the season. In contrast, St Mirren's manager Stephen Robinson took full responsibility for his team's heaviest defeat during his tenure, admitting to a tactical misstep in attempting to match Motherwell's formation. He acknowledged Motherwell's superior quality and excellent management, stating, "They're arguably the best team in the league."
