I took it as 99% of people took it - "what an unbelievable thing to say after one game !" - sorry pride, but you are in the vast minority if you think there was nothing wrong with that.
And todays was beyond belief.
EDIT
and before you say why would he know how many players xxx have got"
The answer is simple - he is paid 2 million a year to know. By all knowledge he does not do the coaching and rarely visits Bodymoor. So if he isn't studying opposition and ways to improve us - what is he doing.
He should look at everything. How many players to top clubs have, how many do the bottoms club have, is there a pattern, is the age of a squad relevant to league position, how many yards are covered on the pitch by a player - does this relate to injuries received (ie: overworked muscles)
He as a manager of a top football club should know EVERYTHING. He doesn't (or shouldn't but I have a feeling he does !) do it himself. He should have a team of specialists looking into every area and feeding the data into him to analyse.
And if he isn't - then we have hit the nail on the head why he cannot go further in modern day football !
Frankly, this is ludicrous.
The point by AVFC about his comment being about looking tired is well made, and your claim that most people read it like you do, ie wrongly, is irrelevant. If you criticise something you have misunderstood, don't expect your criticism to be well received. You should accept that you misread it, not claim that "most people" read it likewise, trying to justify your wrong reading of the comment.
Second, he's not paid to know the things you suggest. Blandy put it more eloquently and pointedly on another thread, but I am being to the point in saying your suggestion is nonsense.
Third, your suggestion that he doesn't actually do any coaching or visit the training ground or really do anything much is also quite odd. You really need to support such a serious allegation with something more than "I have a feeling", which is all you come up with.
Really, can't you do any better than this?
