While I agree to a point that he should have shouldered some of the blame (although not many top managers do after a poor performance) There's also part of me that says well, ultimately he does shoulder the blame: when he gets sacked. The players keep picking up their wages before and after that paticular event.

As for the detail. It should have been levelled at the entire team with the possibility of singling out exceptions that gave their all (if any in fact did). But at the end of the day, the players chose to put on a lilly livered, couldn't be arsed performance in public. The embarrassment to club and away fans who paid good money to travel and see and support them was public; so why shouldnt the rollicking be public too? Why should the wee sensitive souls be spared that? We keep talking about these guys like they're poor wee girls in delicate dresses. Theyre professional athletes paid to give professional performances. If they don't often enough, that manager gets the sack so it's up to him what he risks being said in public.

Take the likes of Coates (just an obvious example, swap in any name you fancy): yes you can blame the decision to put in a player that has played once in months into a game. That will explain away his tactical slowness/awareness, positioning. It doesnt explain his "I can't be arsed demeanour". And remember, with no disrespect to Oldham, they are 2 divisions below us. If this guy thinks he's LFC material or even looking to get regular games at a team of the same level elsewhere he's got to show he wants to try. Thats under his control. If his salary and the pampering he gets every day can't make him try, what will the manager do?

Martin ONeill has done this. A few times "Our performance was simply not good enough. And I include myself in that as I am their manager".

As for Coates, kick him out?
