We like honesty in interviews Troy but that was reckless honesty

[@skybluerob8850]

Deeney was right when he said that Dabo was a kick away from the premier league six months ago, the player clearly has some major confidence issues as a result of that day and is now playing for a team at the bottom of League Two as a result of that. Dabo needs building up, not having his confidence shattered to pieces publically like this; Deeney failed miserably as a manager and coach by doing this to the lad.

[@Luke-qr2yb]

@@tevildo45 The interviewer gave him a chance to back down as well and he doubled down

[@banbrotam]

Daba reminds me of back in 2018 when Mourinho was apparently a bully for wanting more from Pogba, Marseille etc. Of course everyone loaded on him - problem is he was proven 100% correct. Deeney's approach was wrong, but to absolve Dabo of all blame is typical now of society where people think authority figures should take the blame and there is no need for individually holding your hands up and taking responsibility.

[@wezhickling7705]

Dabo was poor at cov for at least last season and maybe half the previous. Was dropped loads. Started well in league one and completely dropped off

[@jacobfield4848]

Troy deeney needs to say this in private. When a coach insults his players publicly he is covering up for himself.

[@nc3music920]

I think martin was right. Even saying that to the player in front of everyone else in the dressing room about missing that penalty was poor management. There is no plus side to doing that. Its not constructive criticism. Its slating him out of frustration and anger which benefits no one and can damage the player even more

Football is a tribal thing, a place playing a place, everyone should be supporting their local club or a club they have family ties to, not the idiotic thing of choosing big clubs due to their size and success while having connection with them whatsoever.
