True, but they may help stop a series of heavy defeats.

"High standards have been set in training and they need to be met".
Maybe, that was a slip of the tongue, but surely the high standards have been met already? If not, why?
I like his honesty, but that side of youngsters won't.
In essence, he's telling the world they're not good enough.

I think you've read too much into that. I took it to mean that he's pleased with how they've taken on board his ideas on the training pitch, but didn't translate it into a game situation yesterday and need to do so more consistently. Kind of like "I know you can do what I'm asking you to do, you've shown it in training, so I see no good reason why you played like that yesterday".

Exactly.

OK, thanks, and therefore 'met' needs to be swapped for 'shown on the pitch'.
Because, as it stands he's saying something else.
He'll need a translator like Bielsa's next, despite the fact he's from west London!
