I will lose respect if he does. That would smack of Woy. Be nice to the players don't crush them in public to the media... but you absolutely can't praise then after a bad performance... fans and players both will lose respect.
He could come out with "I can't fault most of the players, apart from Adam, Spearing and Carra, who were all **** and will be nowhere near the team on Sunday. I also will not let Downing into Anfield" We can dream ey?
Adam has been impressive when he's pcked the ball up in that position behind the front man. He just looks poor when trying to defend.
I thought they were meant to be tough in Scotland? Sterling touches his face with his arm and he goes down like he's just been shot. Downing on for Robinson apparently? Interesting re-shuffle then.
Now that was funny from commentary: "yes, we've just had confirmation from the touchline: that swap was by .....choice not due to injury....."
