Focused on the fans
We want to bring the fans closer to us. They were there in Liverpool (against Everton on Monday night), and the help they gave us was amazing.
Hopefully that happens again on Saturday. We know they’ll be there supporting us, but it’s up to us to give them something back.
The bond between the team and the fans is really important. When they have the help of the fans, the boys feel free and they feel joy, so we want to make sure we are giving something to them.
Eyes on Arsenal
I’m thinking only about tomorrow. We still have one session to go [on Friday], so we’re focused on preparing for a tough match.
We go there with a good record, that gives us confidence, but it’s a totally different game now and new things will happen.
We know we are facing a very good opponent, with a good manager, but I think it’s going to be a good test for us.
Stopping set-piece danger
It’s a problem that we have to solve. We’ve been working on it, and I think we improved in the last game, but it’s definitely something we’re trying to address.
Nowadays, set-pieces have a huge impact on the game. We have good headers of the ball, it’s just about adjusting the flow of the timing and defending.
We know Saturday will be a good test in this area, but we are working on it.
Delighted for Kilman
When you look back, you see how far he has come. It’s 200 [senior club] games already for Max, and I’m delighted for him.
He’s an important member of our squad. He knows how we approach things, what sort of work ethic we want in training and how we face the competition. He’s been very helpful for us so far, and I’m really pleased for him.
