We have been clear about that continuously. "[33] During Derby's post-November struggles Clough came under focus for his consistent criticism of individual players, [34] which came to a head when he strongly criticised Tomasz Cywka after his mistake led to a late Portsmouth equaliser in a 1–1 draw at Fratton Park. Of Cywka, Clough said: "He's an extremely inexperienced and not very bright footballer... he can go back to Wigan or wherever he came from – I'm not really bothered – until he learns the game. " These incidents led PFA Chief Gordon Taylor to criticise Clough, saying: "It cannot be appropriate to criticise your team in such a way in public. We'll sort things out...
[54] In May 2014, Clough was named FA Cup Manager of the Season by the League Managers Association in recognition of United's run to the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

[56] Sheffield United parted company with Clough on 25 May 2015.

[58] Clough led the club to a 2nd place finish at the end of the season, gaining the club promotion to the Championship for the first time in their history.
[citation needed] Clough was widely expected to leave Forest in order to continue playing Premier League football, and was sold to Liverpool that summer for £2. 25million. At the time, he was one of the most expensive players ever to be signed by Liverpool, who had finished a disappointing sixth in the new Premier League having been the dominant English club side of the last 20 years of the old First Division. [6] Clough scored twice on his debut for Liverpool against Sheffield Wednesday on 14 August 1993. [7] He had found the net four times for the Reds by the end of August 1993, but by Christmas had found himself struggling for a first team place after the emergence of 18-year-old Robbie Fowler alongside Ian Rush in the Liverpool attack. Liverpool were also enduring another disappointing season in the league, which led to the resignation of Graeme Souness as manager at the end of January 1994 and the appointment of coach Roy Evans as his successor.

We have very good players who can perform in these venues and they have to step up and show it.
