Team Unity Jones insisted that the team's response remained positive. “He was the exact same Mo, he was smiling and everybody was exactly the same with him,” he continued. He also suggested that a teammate fighting for a place is preferable. “It's clear there are certain ways you can go about things,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just not start, then I think that’s a bigger problem.” On-Field Response Their results have remained strong in the matches since the interview fallout. Jones believes the forward's comments were not intended to harm the team. “If passion has boiled over, the source has been from a desire to win,” Jones concluded. “We’re past that now and we’re uniting strongly, playing well and starting to win games.”
