“If you go on social media and look there, you’re like, ‘Oh my God! There’s no bigger problem in the world than our midfielder! I get that 100 per cent.
“Someone showed me something on Instagram after the last game we played where and what people are writing about our roster and few of them wanted Curtis Jones on the pitch or Cody Gakpo on the pitch and when they were Joel Matip saw games they say they’ll watch the other game and they’re generally people who love us!
“I understand this season is making people nervous, I understand that. We weren’t ourselves for a lot of the season, but we still have to make good decisions and not panic where we’re like, ‘ That’s it for him! will never come back to play football for us again. It’s not like that.
“That’s why I said whatever we do over the summer is not going to be enough for these people at all, so that’s the job and we have to make decisions based on what we know. and things we know. That’s exactly what we’re going to do.
“We have a lot of potential in this team and we haven’t shown it enough this year, but we have a lot of potential in this team and we will keep it, use it, improve it and bring in new players. It means both possible, I think.
“I’m really happy with Harvey because he’s played some big spells all season and he’s been our most consistent spell player. Now Curtis has arrived and Stefan has really been a revelation like ‘Ooof! Who is it!? Oh my God, he’s really good!’
“It’s fine, but other players have played good football too and they’re not all too old and stuff like that, but you also need experience in a team.
“After the pre-season we will have improved, this year will also help us after all the other intense years, which have been intense for different reasons. This year has also been intense, but at least we haven’t played as many games as the years ago and there we should we use it too.
“We want to go back to big finals, big chances, all that sort of thing. We have to work hard for it, a lot and we will and we need the right players and that’s what we’re going to get.” .”
