DF did go back to us having to grind out results at this level. I'm not liking the sound of that.
DF very confident that we will get a Defensive midfielder, central defender and wing-back before the window closes.
DF said that we desperately need a left-back as we like to have cover in all areas. that wasn't the case a few seasons ago and last season we only had one left back. I wonder if McCullum is thinking 'hang, on'.
Something that does worry me is that DF knows that players were lacking in fitness and hadn't had a good pre season - yet he left the same 11 on the pitch until the 77th minute. Sometimes he does not read a game well. He says that we matched liverpool for 60 minutes but we tired and that lead them to their 2 goals....He was there he saw that so why at 60 minutes change it especially when liverpool did?
DF says it is going to be one of the most difficult tasks to get anything on saturday.
DF says he isn't addicted to any formation (hmmm Daniel you have played the 4-2-3-1 for about 3 seasons).
DF then says that his players aren't stupid and know that it will be really hard for them on saturday and says he doesn't tell his players 'We won't worry about them, we just concetrate on ourselves'. becuase the players know that they are a world class side and we need to just do our best
