We want to win the game that’s the first target in some senses we want to keep the rhythm with the players. I’ll try and pick the right team with all the information we have. 1:35 did you have a leadership group at Bournemouth? Certainly not to the level we have now.

We won’t be happy if we don’t hit those high levels 7:50 new midfield debate. Woltemade is Germany’s number 9. Have you spoken with him about where he wants to play? I’ve
