A draw wouldn't be a disaster for us but no way would I ever send my team out to draw a game. |
A great goal from Martin, and Tomasz has been playing terrific. He had a couple of fantastic saves. |
Almeyda is a player I thought would have done a good job for us. But he has decided to stay in Argentina because of family problems and we have to respect his decision and move on. |
As far as I'm concerned, that is the end of the matter. We have a big game against Birmingham on Saturday and that is where our focus lies. |
At some stage I'll maybe have to do something about it because it is very difficult to keep six players happy, |
But he has to do it week in, week out and not just against the big teams. He has to raise his game against everyone. |
But I'll probably only look at that in January. It'd have to be a permanent situation if I make any decision. |
Coventry have made an enquiry about him because of all the midfield players I've got, |
Every time we had free-kicks the lads said they had to wait for the whistle but, when Gareth Barry asked to take it quickly, he could, so there seemed to be one rule for one team and one rule for the other. |
For me that's his best game since I've been here, |
Geoff deserved a new contract and this will take him up to the age of 33. The way he has gone about his job since I've been here has been very good. |
Geoff deserved a new contract. He works hard, looks very sharp and has scored some very important goals. I'm delighted he has signed for another two years. |
Geoff works hard, looks very sharp and he has scored some important goals for us, |
He hasn't wound me up today, my team wound me up! |
He's one of the best midfield players in the world, if not the best. He's good in the air, he can pass a ball 60 yards or five yards, he's got great pace, good stamina, he's strong, he can tackle. That's what a great midfield player is all about. |
