difficult maybe players six stage
At some stage I'll maybe have to do something about it because it is very difficult to keep six players happy,
midfield players
Coventry have made an enquiry about him because of all the midfield players I've got,
either front guarantee players
I can't guarantee that to either of them because I've got other players in front of them in the squad.
cost english-athlete fortune players
You can't let players do what they wish and be professional. That's a fact. As for the team, Boro had two internationals when I got there in 1995. Now they have more than 15. And they didn't cost the fortune some suggest.
ages annoyed believe bell came chelsea drops game gone players reason second sting takes whatever whether
The bell had gone ages ago and our players had gone out to get on with the game. For whatever reason Chelsea came out late. Whether they believe it takes the sting out of the game or drops the tempo, I don't know, but it annoyed me as my players wanted to get on with the second half.
against coming concentration consider cup definitely delighted impress league loan manager matches needs performance players sending spoke squad summer taken understand
We spoke about lapses of concentration and things which he had to put right and, in this match, he put it all in. I'm delighted he's taken it on board. I can't consider sending him out on loan again. I've got a squad of players who are still in the cup and have some important league matches coming up. I can understand his concerns. With a World Cup in the summer he needs to impress his manager but, on that performance against Fulham, he can definitely do that.
bringing centre club good halves players prove seen
We want to keep bringing really good young players into this club and Curtis is one of the most outstanding young centre halves I've seen for some time. Hopefully, he will go and prove me right.
ball best five good great midfield pass players yards
He's one of the best midfield players in the world, if not the best. He's good in the air, he can pass a ball 60 yards or five yards, he's got great pace, good stamina, he's strong, he can tackle. That's what a great midfield player is all about.
attempt pitch players reading
I'm not going to make excuses. Reading did well and I think they'll make it to the Premiership, and we had injuries, but the players I had on the pitch should have done better after going two up. Our only consolation is that nothing will now get in the way of our attempt at Premiership safety.
good hopefully last signs turned year
We showed signs of what we were good at last year and, by not getting beat, hopefully we may have turned the corner.
battling goal great lads martin playing spirit terrific
The spirit of the lads was terrific. It was a great goal from Martin and Tomasz has been playing terrifically well recently. It was a terrific battling performance.
anymore chairman close game hands leave reading signing spoke
I spoke to the chairman before the Reading game and we were very close to signing Ugo. I had to leave it in the hands of our administration because of the game so I don't know anymore at the moment.
delighted job reward
The way he's done his job is very good. This is the reward for that and I'm delighted he's signed.
asked barry lads rule seemed team time wait whistle
Every time we had free-kicks the lads said they had to wait for the whistle but, when Gareth Barry asked to take it quickly, he could, so there seemed to be one rule for one team and one rule for the other.
