“I think the most important thing I have is a really good team, a group of players who are competitive, who are working to change the mindset, and I think when December 28 comes around, I will be here for two years. The change that the players have made in that time is amazing, so they deserve great recognition for what they have done.
I’m still trying to build the club. 18 months is not a long time to be in a club right now, but the players, and we as a staff, have made decent progress.
“The victories and the way we play have given us a lot of confidence.
“I don’t think that not winning against Manchester City necessarily makes us a big dent, but we want to win again and I understand that if we want to remain competitive we have to score points. It doesn’t matter where it is.
“Competing also means winning games, we did very well against Liverpool and we won it, and we did well against Manchester City and we did not get a result against them. We are not at that level yet, but we have to keep pushing to achieve it. “

“He’s a top manager with a really good team, and we all get booed sometimes in our careers, but you have to keep going and I’m sure he knows what he’s doing.”
