He does not give any specifics, and I’ve never seen anyone else level that particular charge against Clapton. I can’t imagine Green ever bad mouthing someone to make himself, or another musician look better.

Correct.
And "Deep Feeling"...has a passing resemblance to the first part of the main riff of "Albatross", but it could just as well be incidental. Not, like, say the intro to "Stairway To Heaven" being lifted from "Taurus" by Spirit. Or Clapton's solo on "Strange Brew".
