Probably just trying to boost his confidence or deflect any criticism. Good managers protect players like Alex Ferguson did.
Players know when they have had a bad game or make mistakes. What is to gain from moaning at them? If its an attitude problem maybe different. But just a bad day at the office - they will probably beat themselves up over it without the manager needing to join in.
How on earth have we got so many replies from an unsubstantiated comment on CWR and a facetious thread from G who is no doubt sitting back and having a right laff to himself.
Rose has had a couple of dodgy games since COVID but all in all has played well. He is quick and when on his game is our best passer from CD. His performance v Southampton shows what he can bring, particularly his long passing to Gyokeres, turning defense quickly into attack. If he can keep injury free he will be a top player next season.
I hope, for your sake, that you're not. Two of me would me a little unfair on the world. That said, you could share the blame for all the things my wife says I'm guilty of!
