…ABOUT MATCH

I'd like for us to have a must-win attitude in every game. I keep saying it, but everything I see with the group and how they are approaching the tough period we have, they have always done exactly what I want them to do. I think in football you have to expect some degree of pressure at some point, whether relegation or playing for a title like last season. The biggest thing we can do is keep improving, there are enough moments in games for us to win them.

…ESCAPING FROM RELEGATIONS

Yes, always. It is the biggest part of my job to transmit that. I enjoy working with this group. I suffer like they suffer when we lose, but I always wake up feeling like I want more.

…INJURIES

It's the Premier League - it is legs, athleticism. You can have all the experience you want, but if you can't run and impose yourself there is nothing you can do. Important for us to have the right profiles - and if they have experience then that is a bonus.

…STRIKER OPTION

Raul Jimenez situation is too early to say how many weeks it will be, but it’s not something that will be quick. Last summer, even with Raul in our squad, we sold a striker for a big amount of money. We were not able to replace him last summer. Until now we've been not able to sign another one. That's the reality. It's not just that Raul is now injured that's important to sign a striker. It was important last summer and it was important from the beginning of the window.

…TRANSFER WINDOW

When I said that I expect a really quiet window, I was speaking about the feedback that I got from the club, if we had the funds or not to spend. It was something that was not possible from the club. One thing is what we needed, then there's what's possible for us to do. Sometimes those things cannot be together, and it was the case for us. Of course we are looking to reinforce some positions in our attacking line, not just one position. They were the targets for us from when we started to plan the window, till now. Both positions were not possible.
