🏥 Gameweek 1 , DAY 2 , Injury Updates & Managers Quotes : 🗣– Antonio Conte : “My message was very clear that I trust a lot in the old players and in this moment they are more reliable than the new players because they need to continue to work with us and continue to implement football knowledge . With the old players, I am in a step forward. For this reason I prefer to count on the start on the older players but I think it was right after this game and the final result. At the same time I really enjoy and I am really happy because we have new signings that are going into our process and for sure they will help us to improve, but at the same time they have to know they have to fight and they have to give me the possibility to make rotations.” 🗣– Ralph Hasenhuttl on his doubts over the 5-3-2 : “This happens when you are defending around your box. We are normally more active up front putting pressure on the ball. We know this but I was not expecting that we are so struggling. This was a little bit annoying I must say.” 🗣– Jurgen Klopp on Darwin Nunez’s impact : “He is involved in a lot of goal-scoring situations – that’s really cool and that’s where we have to bring him up. Now imagine we would play good, how often we could set him up then? “ 🗣– Scott Parker on Mitrovic : “For me, it’s not important what people say about him. I’m here to get the best out of these players. I’m saying every time that I get this question about Mitro in the Premier League, we have to keep playing our way, keep providing the chances for him, and in the box he will score.” 🗣– Scott Parker on Kieffe Moore : “I thought, overall, his performance today was superb. Out of possession he was very, very good and then, of course, he’s always a threat in and around the box. For large parts of the game, he did brilliantly.” 🗣– Steven Gerrard : “I think there will be a lot of focus on set plays, so that’s obvious, but from our point of view we lacked quality in the final third. We have controlled large parts of the game, we’ve had a lot of possession, we’ve got into a lot of good areas but our quality was off today. Our last pass, our last cross, that bit of inventive spark and we never nowhere near created enough today.” 🗣– Bruno Lage : “I think we were the better team, we created a lot of chances, and we didn’t score. It’s not about luck. I’m happy with the performance, but not happy with the result.” 🗣– Frank Lampard : “Anthony [Gordon] was generally the focal point, but [the front three] were mobile. I thought they did really well. Of course, if you have a number nine, you might score from one of the crosses in the first half.” 🗣– Frank Lampard : “Ben [Godfrey] has got a small fracture. He’ll be out for a while and Yerry Mina has an ankle injury and possibly will be out for a while.” 🗣– Eddie Howe : “Sven will get loads of opportunities to play. I was delighted to give him his debut today and he’ll be a top player for us, but I don’t think this period – similar to Bruno when he first came to the league – will do him any harm.” 🗣– Steve Cooper : “We need to keep learning as we go, it was good for the team to feel what the Premier League is about today but at the same time we believe in what we do and believe we can have an impact in games.” 🗣– Lage on Moutinho: “It was a strange injury because he tried to shoot and twisted his left foot in the last training. Sometimes it is a problem for 1, 2 or 3 days. I don’t think it’s a hard injury but let’s see how much time he has to recover.”
