To be fair, I'm not just Ole bashing for the sake of it, I'm discussing issues on the pitch, and given that Ole is the manager, it's literally impossible to do that without mentioning him, it's relative is what I'm basically saying.
As I've already said, I agree with not publicly bashing your players as a general rule but it's a bit extreme to come out and still call a player "the best in the world" no matter how many errors they make.
If they're making that many errors then they're not the best in the world, fact, so he is basically talking jibberish, what purpose does that serve?
It's pretty basic stuff if you think about it, he's tried publicly backing him many many times now and it hasn't worked so surely it's common sense to try a different approach?
You're making out as if it's an exact science that you never publicly criticise your players and then they'll bounce back, it's not, every situation is different, so why not try something different?
Perfectly parallel and relevant example is how Chris Wilder called Dean Henderson out after his mistake early in the season against Liverpool.
He simply stated the truth that if Henderson wants to play at the top level then he can't afford to make blunders like he did in that game, and guess what, he's been outstanding since that game.
So, it can work.
