That's the only thing that bothered me after his sacking. I don't like jumping on former managers etc. Cause it's not like they're ever here to be bad at their job, they're trying to win all they can.
Having said that, the likes of TalkSport claiming the players were embarrassing for letting him down is the most ridiculous statement. One of a managers responsibilities is to motivate the players, and if he can't do that then it's on him and not the players.
