 Sean, on reflection was it a case of injuries catching up with you against Wolves and if it was how do you get back to the levels that we saw in four straight wins? And also the performances against City and Spurs? Yeah I think that's the key to the bigger picture is the performance levels have been very good. We didn't get the two results against City and Spurs as you said, the performances were there. First time with step 2 I mentioned after the game really with our performance level since Villa, but different aspect to it, injuries, conventions, all taking that whole over the last few weeks.

There will be no point to that. I prefer facts when we can get them. In terms of what you are looking at squad-wise this week then, Dekore, is he back or is it not worth the risk in the effort? These are the decisions that we have made. There are people who are touching go and then do you play them, do you not, as you can imagine. We hope to have a couple back in with the idea of playing certainly in the squad. It is back in full training? Just about, but it would be a touching go scenario. And Idrissa Gay, as well, what is happening with him, will he go to AFKON? He probably will, he is still here at the moment receiving treatment. But if that treatment comes to an end which it probably will do, maybe over the week and early next week and then of course their power is to call him up. Any further updates on Ashley Young and Delhi as well? Yeah, Delhi has still been assessed. He has got an injury that still needs time, it did do anyway. We have been trying to take the heat away from that to allow him time, but of course it is fair that everyone has asked the question. Youngy, he is out on the grass today but on the medical side, so he has still got a bit to go but it is good to see him back out on the grass. How much of a balance in act have you got to do in this cup tie? Because it is 10 days between the cup tie and the next league game, but is there a need to rest players who have had so much work like Sir Tarkowski, Branthwaite of course, he even put Dwight McNeill into that category as well, James Garner? Well, kind of, but I have still made it clear that we want to win every game. We want to put a team out that can win every game. There are certain parts of the team that have been very successful, the way they are playing as individuals and the collective, so we want to put out a side that I believe can win. That is certainly our mentality and our viewpoint. And the league game down there, certainly seems to have a bit of a cup tie feel to it the way it went. What are you expecting this time around? Well, they got their result that they needed from a tougher on a game, so that can happen, a very wise manager that's for sure. I'm not sure whether they'll make change or they'll stick with the team. We'll have to wait and see, you know, like cup situations do, not always, but often offer changes to sides and the feel of a game, so we'll have to make sure that we're ready to get the feel right and the mentality right. Fancy going on as long as Roy? No, absolutely not. I'll tell him every time I see him, I'll tell him again at the weekend. I'll say, what are you two doing here? But grey operators, to be fair, grey operators, grey football men as they used to call it. I just wanted to ask about De Cours, obviously I know he's touch and go, but the stats show that without him there hasn't been a win when he's been in the side for you. Does that just show how difficult it is to replicate the job he does? If you could find somebody, could you bring anybody in to do that if he gets injured again? Well, he's done very well without a shadow of a doubt. He's fitted into the side in a number of different ways, but mainly in that more advanced role. The idea of replacing him, again, you might find one in your system, but it's not always easy to do with his experience and his physicality and the way he goes about. I for goal of course as well. Yeah, and then you really looking into the world of transfers and that obviously costs money. Kevin Thelwell said in his programme notes it was a low key January expected. If a big money offer came in for one of your players though, do you think you could ensure that they could remain with your squad because it is already a small squad? Well, that would be down to the powers that be. They'll make them decisions inevitably. They'll ask my advice, I'm sure, and it's fair to say we've got a more rounded squad put together with a reason. It's apart from the obvious 10 point situation, it's obviously performed better if you went on the points tally, adding them points back on that is. Therefore it's shown signs of progress, so you don't really want to start taking that to pieces. Certainly not midway through a season, but the club might view it differently, so we'll have to wait and see. The disappointment of the League Cup with the penalties at the end and going out that way. Have you spoken about that and ahead of the FA Cup, how important to Everton is an FA Cup run? No, not in the sense that the reality of the current situation is still the same as it often is. The Premier League is the number one, it's to be on end all, but my respect to the FA Cup has always been made clear and I want the players to understand that. I thought it was very clear from the last cup that we were trying to put a team out there to win, and of course I panicked away from doing so after another decent performance, so I'll certainly be putting out a team with the mentality to go and win. Over the new year we saw an update from Dwight MacNeill and his partner. I won't ask about that specifically because that's to do with them, but just how impressive has it been that given he had all that going on, obviously you must have known about it, but he's put in performances week after week that are seen in either scoring or assisting and he's had all that going on at home. Do you know what, you wouldn't want fans or pundits or anyone from the media to know everything about everyone's life, but people only see them when they're out on a full pitch and presuppose what's wrong and why aren't they doing this, why aren't they doing that. I still have lives, I still have a real life and it can be like anyone, it can be challenging at times for many different reasons. Like I say, you wouldn't want every fan to know every situation because it'd make it too bland because they'd just preach about oh well, you know, enough day because they've got a lot on type of thing. Sometimes you would hope that people sometimes do take a breath and think, well, I wonder what is going on. As it happens on this occasion, it's a positive situation where I agree Dwight's handled this situation very, very well, continues to do so and played very well. Other people can find it challenging different things that happen in life, but there is often a story behind the story of the players, but he's a positive one at this moment without a doubt. Great, thank you. Thanks, Julia. We'll go to Shamir and let the BBC. Hi, Sean. Just on the scheduling, the players get flogged in December with eight games and there's potentially only four in January. Is that something that needs to look at the balance of games? Well, I mean, you will understand that when they do the fixture schedule and the only thing I would say is there's lots of teams and lots of competitions and you know that European runs and teams in that sort of side of things. There must be a reason why they try and piece these games together. You've always got this strange, I did reference after the last game, this strange situation where on the one hand everyone's saying, why don't you add all the minutes on? So therefore, I'm sad he was a good example, it was nine minutes to the four time, it should have been ten. Wait on that, I don't know. Anyway, so I was like, well, on the one hand you say you don't play as too many games, on the other hand you say add more time to the games, there's more competitions and then they put more games in around December so I can't really decipher which camp is everyone then. Some are in the health and safety and wellbeing camps, some are in there, they should play more football, you get on with it, I'm in the get on with it camp, that's the way it goes, this is what you pay to do, this is the job, but it is challenging. There's no two ways about it. For the only time I must say during that run of games that we've had, can't speak for everyone else, Wolves was the only one we really came away from it, but you add in it's not just the physicality, we were stretched as a unit as well, so that had its part to play as well, with the tactical side and the understanding of the delivery of the performance. Does there need to be fewer games, things like replays and second legs? It's been debated for years, it doesn't matter what I say, it ain't going to change if I had to say it, trust me. What do you make of the timing of tomorrow's game, Thursday evening? I feel sorry for the fans going down. It's a tough one on that side, there will be a reason for obvious, which is usually obvious, but it is tough on the fans, our fans are amazing for travelling, it is tough on the fans, but yet again, it's the way the schedules work, it's the way the fixture works, we get on with it. Just check on what Ellie's injury is, she wants to sell the hip. He's still struggling in that region, he's had it assessed and now it's just a calming down period. Russell Martin said that the ball is in Evans Court when it comes to Mason Holgate's future, he obviously hasn't played a lot at Southampton, has there been any talk with Southampton about what he'd record? No, the player made it very clear, he wanted that sort of fresh feel, going somewhere that's a new challenge, wanted to get his teeth into it, so that's what I'm sure he would be doing. I know he hasn't played as much as he wanted, but that's part of a professional's life. Will it be a case that Mason may be making the decision for himself then rather than Evans? No, he's a Southampton player at the current time. Just a couple of weeks ago, he said Nathan Paterson is slowly but surely making improvements. What did you mean by that word? Do you maybe want him to work on in his games? It's not as simple as that, it's the natural maturation of a player, it's not just one thing, you've got to head it better. There's a lot more about it, the game feel, the game understanding, making the right decisions at the right time, the physicality of the Premier League, still improving his body because he's still young. Lots of different things going to the melting pot and his knowledge of just playing lots of games. Any further questions in the open section before we move on? No? OK, thank you. Good.
