We are extremely disappointed that these allegations were ever brought into the public domain, particularly when they had been expressly contradicted by previous statements from Ms Alam. |
We are in the most difficult group. No doubt about that. |
We are meeting one of the best teams in the world. It's important for our confidence that we do well in this game and important for the England fans as well. If they see we can play good football against Argentina it gives us more hope for next summer. |
We had a long chat and they will do everything to make sure he's fit as soon as possible. We know it's serious. He'll stay in Manchester and we still hope he'll take part in the World Cup. You don't take unfit players. |
We had a long chat, the agreement was very easy, they are going to do everything they can to get him fit as quickly as possible. We know, of course, it is a serious injury. |
We have a lot of options -- Hargreaves is one and came on very well against France. You could put in Nicky Butt and change the midfield around a little bit, so we will see. |
We have to try and win the ball early even the weather is a little bit against it. We have to be as motivated and concentrated as we were against France for 93 minutes if we want to beat Switzerland. It's not going to be easy at all, absolutely not. |
We learned that if we don't stick together, if we don't show up as a unit, a team, we are not that good. |
We must have a manager before the World Cup starts. If we wait until after, that's too late. |
We still have a very important match against Poland on Wednesday and we will now be focusing all our efforts on winning that match and finishing top of the group. But of course it is a lovely feeling to know that nothing can change the fact that we are going to be there next year. |
We suffered, but we did it together as a real football team. |
Well, he's one of those knocking on the door. He's doing better and better. I saw him twice and went to see him again. He's knocking on the door. He's young, if he's not going to the World Cup, I'm sure he will play for England one day. |
What can I say about him that has not been said? He was absolutely fantastic. Wayne deserves all the attention and front and back pages for what he is doing here. |
When he came into the team he was 17 years old and hardly said a word. When he did say something I did not understand because of his accent. Now he has not only grown on the pitch, but as a person. I can see him having a future as a leader. He has those qualities. |
When it came to the last 10 minutes, I think we controlled it and they seemed to be out of ideas. Then, when we thought we won the game, it's a bit of a delusion to draw it. And, of course, the delusion is even bigger to lose it. |
