Your Excellent, on Simon Francis there, obviously he has been at the club whilst you've been here as well and there's that very close working relationship with Richard Hughes. But Simon someone who played for the club, captain of the club was a part of the success going from the league one to the championship to the premier league. How excited are you to work with him, build that relationship and what will Simon bring, perhaps differently, to Richard. I think Simon has been also working with us very closely at the end, all the meetings he has been there, he knows exactly how we want the team to play, what is the profile of the players we need and I don't think this will change a lot, for sure Simon will have his own ideas and he will be the one implementing everything. As a coach I've never been the person who decides the players we sign, I will try to help not only Simon, all the scouting staff and the club to take the best decisions but it's obviously easier when we know each other quite well, we know what we need, the profile of the players that we are looking at and this I think will make everything much easier because also he's a person that has been here. For a lot of time he understands the club and everything, even much better than me. You got your first win in eight Premier League games against Burnley last week, that takes you 11 points clear of the bottom three now. Are you no longer in a relegation fight? No, no, because with 31 points there is a risk you can go down and normally you go down so we need more points not only to avoid it because we want to win more games, we want to have more points, we want to finish as high as we can and still there are 12 games to play and a lot of points there to try to take and this is our role. Only focus, no, it's not like it's about to finish the season and we are looking at the opposition and the results, no, still there is a lot to play so it's too early to start thinking like this I think. What's the team news for this weekend? Obviously there's been a lot of doubts over players, anyone coming back, anyone not available? You ask me individually if you want for sure I will forget some because we have some there that we really don't know, Marcos that is the one that got injured the other day, Marcos is out, he will not even travel with the national team so obviously he will not be part of the team these games, he has a strain in the hamstring and he will be out. I don't think we will recover anyone, the only one we can recover is Tyler Adams but he's not still ready, he played 30 minutes with the development squad, he's doing well the process, he's feeling well, we could put him on the bench because we have the spaces and I think for him personally maybe he's a good thing. But he's continuing his process and still lacks more training but he's doing well and we are not, I don't think we are recovering anyone from the other day. And no issues with Dom with regards to his knee, he's okay? No Dom, this week has been quite similar to past week, he hasn't trained fully with the team, we are trying to put him in the best positions to play tomorrow, he will train normal this evening and from his feelings we will take the decisions like we did past week. Up next, Sheffield United, we know that they're bottom of the Premier League, they haven't had the greatest season, they're 11 points off safety, they got beat by Arsenal 6-0 in their last outing, some would say this is their last chance, if they're going to get out of this, if they're going to have an escape, they need to win this weekend, how do you see it and does that make them dangerous? For sure they will come here with the intention of winning the game and trying to increase their chances to fight until the end. I think we have to focus more on ourselves, we are against a team that has the same points as Sheffield, I think we were not good enough the other day. We want to nail but I think we need to improve the performance we had against Barley if we want to win tomorrow and that's our main focus, I'm sure they will come with the intention of starting really strong after the defeat they had the other day but we have to be ready for this. And just finally for me, you've only picked up one point from your last three home Premier League games and you are the joint worst home scorers this season in the Premier League alongside Sheffield United, you've actually picked up more points away from home. For a team that wants to attack, play exciting football and be dominant on the ball, why do you think perhaps you just haven't been able to be as expansive and score as many goals at home this season as perhaps you'd like? No, it's a thing that worries me a little bit because we have been, I would say, much better away than we've been at home. Results wise and also perception wise, normally it's not like this, most of the teams normally we take the big amount of the points at home and then you go away and we are doing the opposite. It's true that we haven't finished the season, we still have good games at home where we could have some wins and things can look different at the end of the season but until today we haven't been as good at home that we've been away and for sure there are reasons and we have to try to, because we don't change, our approach is not different when we play at home, we play away, our tactics are quite the same but we have to, I would say, start even stronger when we play at home and put the opposition under pressure maybe before. We are probably starting the games better when we are playing away, yes. Thank you. Thank you. You mentioned the fixture list there, you have played all of the big guns here already but even with that in mind you're alarmed by what you've seen here, are you? Yes, it's not alarmed, we have in the last game here against City we were very good, we lost but I finished very very happy with the performances and I think it's not that we've changed a lot but it's true that the results have been better away so we have to know this and put more emphasis, more attention especially at the beginning of the games because when you score early, when you start strong, we can also make the opposition think it's going to be a tough afternoon and probably we are not starting as strong first minutes as we are doing away. How, I mean, the second half against City is the blueprint, is that what you want to see every time? Yes, I finished very very happy with all the games against City but also, like I said at the end, we played very well and we lost the game so even if we give our best and we give a high level you have to be very good in the boxes. The end is what makes the difference, we played much much worse against Burnley but we were better finishing and you win the game. A lot of people will come here tomorrow having watched the Arsenal game and think it's an easy home win. I think we've all fallen into that trap in our lives. Do you remember a time when as a young man you thought oh easy game this weekend and then the football gods came and bit you? I don't think, I think people are very smart and everyone that comes here tomorrow will think this is a game that they have the same points on Burnley and Burnley were doing a lot of the time better than us the other day so we have to know that we have to improve what we did six days ago because otherwise it's going to be very difficult to win tomorrow. Yes, I have no doubt and I think everyone involved in the football I think knows this. Fair enough. As far as Domin his knee, you said last week that he's been managing it, it's been a problem for a while. Is it something that will need just rest over the summer or is there a chance that it will need more than just rest? I really don't know. I really don't know. I wish I would know the solution but he has pain. He has pain. He's playing through some pain. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. We are trying to manage it especially these two games we have and try to don't put too much training on him. But it's true that it's somehow affecting him and we hope he can play as many minutes as he can but it's something that we are dealing with. He's an excellent player. He's a very clever player. Does a lack of training affect his performance? This is something that is quite common to every player. If you don't train normally you are not so sharp, so fresh. You lose a lot of the writing but it's true that in his case he has been training almost every day during the season. He's someone that has played a lot of minutes, has trained a lot of minutes and probably is not a big problem because he's been very solid, very robust during the season. I think he doesn't need to train as much as other players that probably have been up and down and coming and resting. I think he still has a good level. Just finally with the Tyler Adams potentially being on the bench, you've talked in the past of his leadership skills. Would that be a benefit to have him as part of the squad in the dressing room? Would he get involved even though he's been on the sidelines for so long? Yes, I think he has these leadership in him. Even training you per sef whenever he's losing a drill or whenever he's the first one to complain. It's good things for the team. I think to have competitive players is always good especially for the manager and I think he will add this to the team but we also want him to play and to be ready as soon as possible. He is still not there but I'm happy that he's progressing well and I think he's close.
