I'm sure he doesn't tell them to only turn up for 15 minutes a game and dick around for the rest. Where he does need to take the bulk of the blame though is the failure to get a response from these players, probably due to them knowing they will receive ample opportunity to put things right even if it's too late.
I'm pretty damn sure he does. His stupid fucking red zones and efficiency and make the opponent chase the ball, and tippy tappy triangles. It's not football, it's some form of weird energy management regime that is constantly preserving the players for something that never arrives.
