Presser 13:13 - Sep 18 with 2293 viewsPhilTWTD

Condolences to Gary. How challenging to focus on football? Last 24 hours were tough but I'm pretty good at separating and I've managed to be there for the team and my family. Group and club have been great with me. Lots of well wishes, tough few days, but looking forward to game.

Everyone fit aside from Jack Taylor, break comes for a good time for him.

Arsenal, even though lost the ball on both goals, could have done better after that. Team not used to playing alongside one another, four was harsh on us, but good minutes into the lads, lots of positives, two good goals and now focus onto Saturday.

Two wins have been excellent for us, to play two teams not in that big club category, those are always tough, so to play two of the other sides and win, is positive. Everton excellent at home, David Moyes sides difficult to play against. I have massive belief in the group that we can get something. Trained very well this week.

Only Premier League stadium I've not been to. Goodison was a special place. New one looks incredible, shows what the club is trying to achieve. Huge club. Go there with focus on ourselves. But with a real, steely focus on what we can do tomorrow.

Moyes longevity has impressed GON to sustain the level and stay at really big clubs. Incredible. Anyone to remain at the level DM has been at for so long deserves credit. Doesn't look overly complicated, a manager I look up to. I'm sure he's not done yet.

Moyes 1,200 games, last few days so getting that seems a long way off. Top, top manager, who has huge respect in the game. Good one for me to test myself against his team and see if we can give them some awkwardness, which would be big going into the game.

Everton good start, we don't change too much from game to game. Look very much like a Moyes side. Defenders know their way around the level, Barry at the other end is a threat, have a threat on the sides. Some good players, number 10, Dewsbury-Hall, a lot well covered. But areas we can exploit like any team. And we go looking to exploit some of our deficiencies and to expose theirs.

Would like to see more control but that's unusual for promoted sides. Where we've done well is to hurt teams on the counter-attack. I like to have control but without giving up attacking threat. Want us to be more solid, would like to tighten up, have conceded more goals than I'd like.

One or two impressed against Arsenal, might make one or two changes. No set XI, selection based on what we think is best for the game etc.

Azor we're waiting to get enough reps in training to be ready. Has been out there for quite a while, but we don't need to throw him back in. It's about finding the right moment for him and the team.

Emersonn fine, tight quad settled down.

Would be better to go into the break with a positive result, but even so the previous wins give us a base going into the break. Then probably more than ever go away for international duty and we want to end it on a positive. Everton won't be decisive in our season.

Win at Palace take pressure off? I don't think so, don't carry last performance and result into the next one. But generally take the game as a fresh challenge and what suits us best. Tomorrow's game plan would still have been the same. Looking forward to the challenge.

One from me about international break plans and that's it.

I was half expecting him to miss today at least and I doubt anyone would have minded if he did. That’s some dedication.

A small blessing that there's an international break coming up so he should get the time he needs.
