I only said that Lippi should say all those things because this are things we want to hear, although we never expect to actually hear them. I don't need "Yes our defence wasn't working well today so we had troubles". We know that as we saw that, he wouldn't tell me something new. But he could tell why our defence was working bad? Becase we have old or not very good players or our transfer guru forgot to go shopping. NONE of the coaches would say that as you already mentioned, so again, one doesn't need all those confrences as we wouldn't hear what we want. Not because he wouldn't say it, but because he can't and because it's not the right things as the whole team (not just thé team, but staff etc. as well) for defeats.
