 morning Eddie First of all any team news, I think there are any new injuries this week? Team news, we still have the lads at the long term that are still not trained with us so you have David Brooks Arnott, Dan Jumar, Chris Meppam who still haven't rejoined the group, they are working hard in their respective rehabs and getting closer but they are still some way off. Lloyd Kelly has trained this week so that was great news, he has come through training so that is a big lift for everybody. Ac rydym yn ddim nesaf fel David Brooks, dwi'n gael fynd yn arddangos yn gael y cyfnogaeth. Geydd angen ym Llywodraeth? Beth yw'r grannu cyfnwyr a'r ysbelfiau a'r lefyncedau?

Dyna bod gwmpaeth ychydig o llawer o gyfrifloethau. Mae esbynwyr yn ymwysig? Mae yna a llai. Is this inevitable over the course of that many matches or do you see something that perhaps a bit of tiredness creeping, a bit of pressure creeping? I think it is inevitable during a very long season. I have to compliment Jürgen Klopp his team, his players and what they've achieved to this point because I think they've been incredible. They've played to such a high level every week and the way that they play, the intensity that they play at is very difficult to recreate that time after time after time. They've also come back from losing positions and got valuable points from difficult situations so the character of their group looks very strong. That's why we know this is probably the ultimate test this season. This game for us is probably the hardest one we will face. That's why we've got to certainly rise to it and embrace it and attack it from our perspective. You mentioned the difficulty of this fixture. Your recent fixtures against them really haven't gone your way at all. Is that something that can get into the mindset of the players before? I think it's over the last five games. I think it's 17-0 on aggregate. Is that something that you don't mention or is that something that can play on players' minds? I think it's strange because obviously you're dealing with a quality team and I think there's going to be moments, especially in those games that have gone by that have gone against us just down to their quality. 17-0 is not a great aggregate. We accept that. These games are very difficult. You're playing one of the elite teams in world football. I think we go back beyond that. I think a few games the other way and I think we were competitive in the games and we had a couple of memorable results against them. So it can be done. We have to be at our absolute best. Anything other than our absolute best in this game is not going to be good enough. No, Harry Wilson is an option for you this time around. How difficult is that in losing him as an option and when he's done on this whole idea of lone players not being able to play against there? I think when you take a lone player you know that that's the situation. It's a blow for us because Harry's been excellent for us this season. But as I say, when you take the lone player you know the situation, you know that's going to happen in those two games, but he's been a very important player for us this season. Some people might look at this one and think well given the way this picture has gone in the past and given Liverpool's form this season that this is almost like a free hit for Bourne with anything you go out and get would be welcome. Do you see it that way? I don't see any game as a free hit. I don't know quite what that means really. We go there with the expectation to perform, the expectation to win. I think if you don't go with that expectation in any game you're almost beaten before you start. So our expectations of ourselves are very high. They have to be. And we have to have that belief through every player within the squad, the belief from me and my coaching team that we can win this game. But as I reiterate, we're not going to do it by playing OK, we're not going to do it by playing at 60, 70%. Every player is going to have to excel and the team is going to have to be in a very good frame of mind to achieve this result. You mentioned before the positives from last week's performance against Chelsea again that you came very close to winning. Has it been difficult this week to find yourself after such a good performance and you ended up in the bottom three because everyone else picked up points? Has that been difficult? Yeah, just to look at that league table and think after that performance. I've tried not to look at it. I don't think dwelling on the league table is going to be productive for anybody. I think all we can focus in is our last performance and the way we performed. It was a high quality game. I thought Chelsea were good. I thought we were very good. So frustrated we didn't get over the line and get the three points that we all wanted. But I think some weeks, ebbs and flows, some weeks everyone will sit here and say results went for you. Some weeks they won't, teams around the bottom will get results. Ultimately none of it really matters. The only thing that matters is that we get the points that we need and continue to focus on ourselves, on our own performances. Can't control a lot of things that happen in football outside of here. You can only control what's inside of here and that's what we have to focus on. How much will you have looked at what Watford did last week against Liverpool to get that result? Is there anything you can incorporate or take on board for this match? I think there's things you can take from every game. Game plans, ways of playing against other players. We look at all the games across the Premier League and learn from every single one of them. That's the beauty of what's available to us now, technology-wise, in terms of seeing every game around the world and taking things you like from other teams that happens across the world of football. So we see what we do in terms of how we prepare for this game and how we play, but we, as I said, the most important quality we need this week is the belief that we can do it and I think if we have that then everything else will follow. Of course everyone's been talking about a coronavirus and how it might affect it. First of all, the Premier League directive on not shaking hands before the match. What's your take on that given that it's a physical contact game and players are likely to come into contact at some stage throughout the match? Back the Premier League and the guidelines they've given us, I don't think I want to get too technical on that side of things, but yeah, of course players will be coming up against each other. It is a physical game, but I think you have to back the protocols in place. Obviously we had to sign the forms as we came in here. Has it impacted in terms of your build up and preparation for a game, the fact that I understand that there's been restricted access for people, non-essential staff and so on coming down to that? Has it in any way impacted on the way you prepare for a game? Absolutely not. No impact on us. Yes, there's been measures put in place to stop the flow of people in and around the training ground and the stadium, but that doesn't impact how we prepare for the match. Do you think you're talking about the possibility of playing behind closed doors? What do you think about that idea, just in terms of making sure that the fixtures are fulfilled and perhaps finishing the rest of the season if it comes to the worst of playing matches behind closed doors? I think at this moment in time there's no point focusing on that. I think time will tell what happens in the future. I think playing behind closed doors would certainly be not the preferred option for anyone connected in the world of football because the game is all about the atmosphere created by the supporters. But there's no point thinking about that at this moment. My only focus is on tomorrow's game against Liverpool. Just finally from me, another big talking point this week has been Eric Dyer going into the crowd after the game against Norwich. A lot of focus will be on what happens to Eric Dyer and should he have got in and what punishment he'll get. Is it also time to look at what we expect from fans as well? I do. I think it's very easy to focus on the reaction of the player. Of course I don't think anyone wants to see players or coaches or anybody confronting supporters in that way. The world of football needs to look at what is said and what is acceptable and what's not acceptable. I think it's almost anything that's said from the terraces. That's just football banter or that's the world of football. But I don't think you should be like that. So I think certainly it's an opportunity to look at this and maybe review what is acceptable and what's not acceptable and highlighting it I think for all the people that go to football. It is a very emotional game and I think a lot of things that are done at football matches would never be replicated in normal life. So I think it's a good opportunity just to look at it and for the authorities to see what they want to do with it. Eddie, that horrible 17-nil aggregate. Can we not keep bringing it up? Particularly the nil aspect. We focus so much on Liverpool's attacking side. Having had those five previous game plans that haven't worked, do your plans tomorrow need to be dramatically different or are you looking at just tweaks? You've asked a lot within one question. Try and get me money's worth. You certainly have. Always tweaks. We'll always look at every game very much individually and Liverpool is such a unique team. To look back at previous games and go let's roll out the same thing again. That's not going to wash, that's not going to work. You need to look at it. Liverpool, by the way, have evolved since even our last game against them and that's how quickly football changes. No, we'll look at that game. We'll look at Liverpool's previous games. We'll see where we are as well and what we need to do and try and come up with something that makes us competitive in the match. But I think in that scoreline that you've given you have to look at Liverpool's quality and sometimes there's not a lot you can do in certain situations. Looking back at those matches, they've got away from us quite quickly just down to the quality of players that they have. But that's not saying that we can't do better and we need to do better because this is a massive game for us. Does that suggest that Liverpool are nearly as effective when Jordan Henderson is missing as he has been in the last couple of games? He seems underrated. How highly do you rate him? What is it that he does so well? First and foremost, I think his leadership qualities are second to none. I think you can see, and I'm only an outsider looking at Liverpool, but you can see a definite passion inside of him, leadership qualities that every team needs. Certainly something we've been focusing on throughout the last couple of seasons in terms of our voice on the pitch and having leaders that can change games either way, whether you're losing or whether you're winning. So I think that's a standout quality of his and I think his versatility as well. I think he's played deeper, he's played higher for Liverpool and I think their important qualities because he has a unique ability to create and score goals as well. You mentioned this earlier but consistency is something you've talked about, striving for throughout the season. So when you see what Liverpool have done winning week after week after week, how admirable, how impressed have you been with that side? I think that's been the standout quality because I know that they've got quality players and an outstanding manager and the way that they play is so difficult to play against, but the fact that they've been able to reproduce and show the motivation levels to keep going, even in difficult score lines sometimes find a way to win when it didn't look like they would and every time I've seen them play, they've played with that passion and that enthusiasm for the game. I think that's definitely their standout quality. Just finally, you've conceded in the last ten minutes of your last three games and five of your last seven. Is there an issue there? Is it just one of those quirks? I'm not naive enough to sit here and say I know that's no problem. Of course we're aware of it and something that we want to change. Certainly there's not a fitness issue with us at all, still statistically one of the fittest teams in the league. So there's no issue there whether mentally when the game's gone very tight or late into the game we haven't reacted well enough in certain situations. I do think that the games if you analyse them each have their own story to tell, but certainly something we need to do better with. Thank you.
