It's not "obvious" Murphy has dropped him. He may be managing his game time. Anyway, he may not be talking about Youngs as he still hasn't actually said who he is talking about, just criticised him, whoever it is.
Come off it, it's obvious who he is talking about. No need to name him.

Just seen your post, yes of course its Youngs, anyone can see he was dropped, and before you rattle on any further, Healey at circa 21 mins on BT Sport today went further and basically said he deserved to be dropped after his performances for Tigers werent up to the level of his England performances...

A good decision as all England players need a rest. Keep him keen and fit for Quins.

YBY hasn't performed for Tigers for some considerable time, maybe the win in Munster?
To win is not as important as playing with style!

Would stick with the 9s that way round next week, still plenty of gesticulating and moaning from Youngs when he came on

Nothing wrong with instilling a meritocracy. Best game we've seen from young Ben White. Tell Youngs if he wants the shirt back he needs to earn it. Ben is more than capable of coming off the bench and igniting our attack and getting back the shirt if he puts his mind to it.

Spot on. Having watched the game this afternoon, it could be a good time to be in the early stages of a new half back pairing. I personally thought GF had an excellent game, and showed leadership qualities. A good half back pairing has got to be a good platform for (re)building a winning team. I've not lost the fact of the main title of this post. Perhaps the position of coach/assistant coach could have bearing on the way forward.

He was just cover and obviously they decided he wasn’t good enough to be played.
