Mane had agreed new contract extension with LFC

“He’s ready to play. that’s all. In the moment it looks like it’s pretty much a full squad.

“[Apart from] long-term injuries, and Adam Lallana has a minor thing that makes him not available for the weekend.

“All the rest came back healthy which is brilliant. So we have a few decisions to make, obviously.”

“You sign a player and hope it works out. This club always shows that we realise the value of a player with a new contract.

“We are confident with the squad, we will not change anything in the near future, I don’t think so.

“We have to carry on and use the quality we have. It’s good that it’s settled and that it’s fixed and now nobody has to come and ask for these players. That’s it.”

“They are really good. Good football, lively, organised in a 4-4-2 mostly with a good game-plan.

“Deeney was out for a while but I think he will be back. We played two weeks ago against Fulham and Mitrovic did well in a similar job.

“It will be interesting. They have quick wingers and good central midfielders. I didn’t have time to watch all their games 90 minutes but I watched earlier in the season against Tottenham and they were already good.

“They’re a proper package and for sure the best Watford team since I’ve been in.”

“If he was one for the future and settling, he played three of the last four and did well. It was all good.

“Now the most intense period of the whole season is coming up. He has used the time to adjust to what we want him to do.

“He has done really good when he has played. Of course he will not leave. It’s the crazy world out there that if he doesn’t play the last five games then [people say] he will leave.”

“You don’t see any influence on Daniel in training, so that’s good,” he said.

“I don’t know, I cannot say actually, anything about the case. It is difficult to get information about it but in training he is completely normal: in good shape, looks sharp, looks focused, but of course it is something you do not want to be involved in.

“But from my point of view, and until someone tells me something different and as long as he trains well, he is 100 per cent in contention.”

“We will see [about his future.]

“Nobody should worry about the future of English football. This could be the best U21 team ever when you think about who could play for the first-team, like Trent, [Ben] Chilwell, Loftus-Cheek, Rashford.

“It’s a bit difficult [Solanke’s] situation here but if Dom continues like he did so far then he will be fine.

“There’s nothing to say about short or long-term things. He is our player. If I have to decide it will stay like that.”

“We will see what happens. We want to help Dom and he can help us. That’s the target.”

“His start was really good and then average. That’s how it is.

“I watched his game [for Guinea] and seen a yellow surface. It was a bouncy game. He came back tired.

“There’s three stops on the way back so that’s not cool. He trained yesterday and was completely fine. Naby can improve and learn the language but it’s a long-term project. We will use him.

“Short-term, long-term, future. How it looks in the moment, hopefully it stays together and you will see them all. We want them in the best shape they can be and to get the points for us.”

“I felt comfortable [using Shaqiri away from home in big-games] before.

“It depends on fitness, form, shape, whatever.

“It will happen in the future. Pretty sure.”
