Pretty much straight after the game.

That's not exactly what he said and I can't say that I'm surprised that The Fail are misquoting someone:

"Let's see if it's something minor and he can make the effort."
He's been very positive about Bergwijn so far and specifically focused on the effort that he put in.
I don't think it's criticism, but him asking the player to play through the pain barrier if possible, which it clearly isn't now.

I don't watch his press conferences anymore, so I'll take that back. It's still a little negative but not as was widely reported and read by me.

I'm still on him for not having Parrott available to sub off Lucas/Dele/Bergwijn. It's all hands to the pumps and protecting the forwards that we've got left...but we've overplayed the kid, just like Kane and Sissoko. I wrote after the Norwich game that Parrott had to be there to be used to prevent exactly this. If a complete amateur can see it coming...

Mourinho has to manage for today, tomorrow and next season. Currently, it's not happening like that and it'll cost us all.

Someone's doing something wrong, aren't they?

While a lot of those injuries fall under "**** happens", notably Kane against Southampton and Hugo against Brighton, there is one thing that I have found worrying about the team this season: fitness, or the lack of it

While some of the blame for our running out of puff around the 70th minute in a lot of games this season can be put down to setting up the team in such a way that Harry Winks has to be a two-man pivot on his own, or that players with injury or illness problems going back to last season hit the wall, not all of it can

One comment I cannot shake is one made a few weeks after Eriksen joined Inter, where his lack of fitness was criticised. Now why would he be unfit? He didn't have any injury layoffs, and he was playing regularly so it's not like he had extended periods on the sidelines, yet his fitness was cause for public criticism

I hate to point the finger at an individual (especially since that individual's name is easy to find, and I'd hate for some bugger to come across it and start a Twitter campaign based off me saying his name here) but our fitness levels have dropped in the last year or so, and while some of that can be blamed onto the team coming towards the end of its peak or individual players being susceptible to injuries, on the other hand that doesn't explain how Danny Rose has remained as out of shape in 2019-20 as he was in 2017-18
