If the players are dropping the ball because the manager points out that we cannot afford silly mistakes and then not cleaning them up (which is what Joses entire answer to this boils down to), then they should probably not be playing competitive football at this level.Yeah and he did the same with ndombele against Burnley he didn’t actually name him but everyone was in no doubt who he was referring to! Whether the journo asked him or he just poured an oil tanker over it. He was asked a similar question about Auriers stupid challenge on Sunday he didn’t respond in the same way.
This sort of thing will be noticed by players who will either stand up fir their mate or go into their shell and won’t even try anything like that again as they will be too scared to try it. Hence just kick the ball long aimlessly is not criticised but a trying something a bit more adventurous is slammed. Wonder what he would have done with cantona?
This was not some form of character suicide on Dele by Jose.
