Maybe they are afraid. I hope they will be after the weekend.

At Valencia we changed the players virtually every match, maybe we will not be able to do that just as much but all must realize they are important to the team, and it is the team that is important.

We need a new mentality in the Premier League, especially away from home, and when we have that, things will be much better for sure.

If we finish second it will be fantastic, but very difficult. At the moment I am not thinking about statistics, only that we finish the season well.

People are saying that we are not making signings -- but I say we will sign the best. I have discussed the issues with our chief executive (Rick Parry) and we will spend our money wisely and carefully on the best. It is important not to spend a lot but to spend it well.

We will be missing five players on Saturday. We hope to get Julia Borowski back for the tournament this weekend. She missed most of the action to this point with a sprained ankle. ... She has the ability to make a difference in a big game.
