That team that he created was special. We want to entertain and for the supporters to be on the edge of our seats. Us at our thrilling best. Kevin is a truly iconic person and player. 1:00 Enjoy the emotion? I don’t want to talk about any negatives I want to focus on the positives. Never say die spirit. We’ve got some special players here. 1:35 The last 10 days have been really good? Three massive games for our PL season. Burnley was huge and we backed it up with two tough home games. Slightly disappointed with the performance. 2:20 Schar? In hospital at the moment, ankle problem. We send him our love he’s so important for us. 2:45 Miley? How good is he? Incredible from him. Lewis’ played centre half quite a lot in training. Unbelievable mentality for the game. 3:30 Transfers dictated by Fabian? We’ll take a view as the  window unfolds. Lascelles isn’t 100% right.

We want the players to enjoy playing here. We want the supporters to enjoy the players on the pitch 5:25 Emotions of the game for you? There’s very few big highs when you’re managing. You’ve got to try and stay level and you don’t want to lose yourself. I’ve got no problem admitting my emotions went sky high. No better feeling as a manager. 6:30 Chaos? Can you control it? When you’re chasing you want that chaos. It suited us in that moment. The subs made a positive difference 7:20 Keegan impression on you? Huge. First thing I did when I came here was ring him. He’s always been so kind gracious and giving and humorous. We feel for him and hope he’ll be okay. 8:2
