“Our season will be decided by the next two months and the ability we show to fight. Our future will be decided by our mental qualities. We have had enough press conferences about (my future) and at this moment it is not the most important thing at the club.

It’s a strange season because we played 20 games unbeaten but I cannot sit here and say we have no flaws in our team because we have.”
