Yes, my point was that they are professionals and as such shouldn't need "hand held" by their manager. Not that it wasn't BR's fault that we weren't winning (didn't win) the match.
And my other point which I stand by is that as a player, during a game you can find much more motivation from your home support than you would get from your manager standing on the sidelines barking tactical orders, that's all. Been there done that, it's my own experience and my own opinion, nothing more.
Similarly - been on both sides of the fence (personally through sport and professionally). I expect fight and endeavour from a Liverpool side - to me if missing over a period that has to be the leaders fault. It is in my business.
To paraphrase an old Elvis Costello lyric - "....we lacked lust - we're so lacklustre...."

If there's anything that you want
If there's anything that you need
There's no need to be evasive
Money talks and it's persuasive

Now you're sending me your best wishes
Signed with love and vicious kisses
You lack lust, you're so lacklustre
Is that all the strength you can muster
Possession

Possession
Even when we are out of touch
Now I know that I've seen too much, seen too much
So I see us lying back to back
My case is closed, my case is packed
I'll get out before the violence
Or the tears or the silence
