ON THE POOR PERFORMANCE AGAINST NEWCASTLE UNITED: "It was quite strange because we had a good first half.
"The team was fine but without any apparent reason the direction of the match changed.

"Newcastle played more than us and the points were more important for them."
ON THE APPARENT LACK OF MOTIVATION AGAINST LESSER CLUBS: "This is definitely something for me to look at and take into account when we are looking at the squad.

"It is a long season and the level of performance is not as high as it should be. The points are not important."
ON CHANGING TO A 4-3-3 SYSTEM: "We're in a phase of the season that's not so important so it's useful to see the players in a different way of playing and we're looking to use the squad.
"That will then help us make the correct decisions for next season.
