The injury looks very serious. It's frustrating and unacceptable because the player had no intention of going for the ball in my opinion. |
The intention was not there to hurt, |
The lesson we can learn from Leeds is that when you are at the top many people take it for granted that you will always stay there, |
The negative side of the game today is that we got two injuries that we wouldn't want to have at the moment. |
The next six days really define our season. We are confident we can do it. |
The season might end too early for us. We are on a good run now but we can't afford to drop points in the league. |
The self-belief is there, but so is the frustration as well. |
The team was a bit nervy because we have lost a few games recently... When we scored it was a relief and we are not used to this but this victory can give us a new start. |
The timing is not welcome before a big game for a story like that. I find that coincidence just a little bit troublesome. |
The way he runs, the way he turns the ball forward and tackles, he reminds me of someone I have seen. But he has a long way to go. |
Theo Walcott is a very young player, but has already shown in his performances for Southampton that he is a talented player with huge potential. I also like the fact that he is a versatile player who is incredibly dedicated, shows great determination to succeed and is blessed with electric pace. We are delighted Theo has signed for the club and will make a fantastic addition to our squad. |
There have been plenty of enquiries about him but we have not received any formal offer and we have not agreed any deal to sell him. |
There is a bit of uncertainty about Thierry, |
There is a chance he will play because he is doing well in training and if I feel that he can help us at any moment I will bring him on. |
There is a little chance. But he had a recurrence of the injury. It is a worry, and we want to clear the problem completely. At the moment it is not clear. |
