“The unfortunate part of the job is that you have to upset people and disappoint people sometimes, but he's still right there with the lads at the end.

“It shows what the group's like, really. Anis is a top boy. I've loved working with him so far and I'm sure he'll have moments where he helps us.

“It's everybody in the squad and all the staff and the supporters that are all going to have to do everything to get every single point."
