Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder insists Dean Henderson can handle his public criticism.
After the Liverpool game, Wilder told journalists he was not bothered by goalkeeper Henderson's feelings, after his mistake allowed Georginio Wijnaldum to score the Reds' winner.
"Sometimes people say things to create debate and drag something out - but I didn't really think there was anything in it," he said.
"It is as we manage. The players - Dean included - are very mentally tough, with where they have come from and the journey that they have been on.
"Last year, with pressure situations at the back end of the season, they're tough guys and we create a tough mentality within the group.
"I'm the biggest supporter of these players by a million miles - myself and my staff. I know what they're about, what they give for the football club and I'm their biggest supporter.
"Dean knows that, from an individual point of view. There's no hiding place. He moves on and we all move on to the next Premier League game."
