We have to ask questions about ourselves after this performance, |
We have to make sure we win our last two games and hope the other games go for us on Saturday. |
We showed signs of what we were good at last year and, by not getting beat, hopefully we may have turned the corner. |
We spoke about lapses of concentration and things which he had to put right and, in this match, he put it all in. I'm delighted he's taken it on board. I can't consider sending him out on loan again. I've got a squad of players who are still in the cup and have some important league matches coming up. I can understand his concerns. With a World Cup in the summer he needs to impress his manager but, on that performance against Fulham, he can definitely do that. |
We want to keep bringing really good young players into this club and Curtis is one of the most outstanding young centre halves I've seen for some time. Hopefully, he will go and prove me right. |
We were broken down not by Chelsea's good play but by our own mistakes. After that Chelsea played as well as they can and it was a long night for us. |
We will have a look again at Zoltan over the weekend but he could be involved in the squad for Monday, which would be good news. |
We'll see how the injury settles down, but it looks like a strained hamstring so he could be missing for a few games. |
We've got to be outstanding when we start and let other people chase against us, |
What was in the national papers was nonsense, ... At this moment in time we have big games coming up over the next month and I'm happy with my squad. |
When you beat the Arsenal, they are a good three points. |
When you have got a bench like that you know you have got a lot of pace and a lot of goals, so when they start getting sharper and match-fit we will have a bigger goal threat this year, |
Zoltan is still nowhere ready to train, he's had an injection in his groin and we hope it will settle down towards the weekend. At this moment he is very doubtful for Saturday's game. |
