Eckert told the Echo, “I am very happy with Joe. He has been excellent every time he has come on, and he is in very good shape. "
Yes man again? Too scared of player power to tell the truth? Eckert has done a good job. But he is a typical Sport Republic PR man, who will say the right things. I worry long term. SR love someone who toes the line.
He's saying Aribo was excellent because we need to move him on in the January window. I'm not sure Eckert coming out and saying "Joe was dogsh1t today - absolutely hopeless & he couldn't be arsed" is going to bring the money in for him.

He can say he was happy with his performance just as long as he doesn’t select him for first team duty again. He’s not likely to say he was crap and I fukt up by selecting him is he?

But we have eyes. He can say he was excellent, but we all know the truth so what is the point of lying? Does it not make someone look more stupid if they say something that we all know is totally false?

One of the golden rules of being a football manager is that you don't slag off your own players in public, that is how you lose the confidence in the dressing room, in public you stick up for your players, as has been said elsewhere when asked a question you stick up for him.
The problem is that too many people are looking for an angle to blame Sport Republic/The Club whichever for every situation.
The suggestion that Eckert is told what to say by the Club is laughable, firstly the club have no idea what will be asked at a press conference after a game, said conference is about 30 minutes after the final whistle and the questions come thick and fast, Eckert will have left the dressing room to go straight to the conference.
This question and answer was short and sweet.
"Is Aribo fully fit and fully sharp having had no pre-season?"
"TE: I am very happy with Joe. He has been excellent every time he has come on, and he is in very good shape."
Throwaway question with a throwaway answer, I didn't think Aribo played well, but that doesn't mean I am right, and what Eckert said is exactly what I would expect him to say, Eckert isn't picking his words he is just giving the stock reply from a manager, all managers to be exact except for the odd blow up sometimes.
To also suggest that he has been told to say that so we can sell him in the transfer window is ludicrous, clubs buy players after multiple scouting reports and watching videos of them in action, they do not base it on managers comments from the selling club saying he is excellent every game.
Aribo has come on and done well this season, Saturday was not one of those games, it wasn't as if he was surrounded by those that were doing much better, there doesn't have to be a Sport Republic conspiracy theory for everything that surround Southampton FC

We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong.
