Your partner will respond way better to that kind of presentation, as opposed to "You..." followed by anything.

I have learned that it is way easier to get a crew on the same page when I don't act like the teacher lecturing a student.
I usually ask a partner about a play with the exact time and the situation and let them tell me what they saw. Then we talk about the play if that play was a "problem." Usually they say something that makes me satisfied becasue they explain something I did not see or that they had an angle I did not have. Most of all it becomes a conversation, not a lecture or it does not seem as if I am the one trying to see what I missed.

Peace
