Should managers publicly criticise players?

Are managers right to criticise their players in public? Or should a dressing down be kept in the dressing room?

This weekend, Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho singled out defender Luke Shaw for his poor display in the 3-1 loss at Watford, United's third defeat in the space of eight days.

The criticism shocked Shaw's team-mates and was debated by former England defender Danny Mills, ex-Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Townsend, BBC Sport journalist Simon Stone and New York Times football writer Rory Smith on BBC Radio 5 live's Monday Night Club.
