"It's not easy to change everything and to pass all my ideas on to the players with two days. But I am happy with my work so far. We'll try and improve some things for this game."

"Yesterday we worked with 13 players, today we had 15 players so it's not easy. My mind at the minute is on tomorrow, not Tuesday against Manchester United or the next game in the Premier League.

"When I spoke with the owners they know what we need and what is important for the teaam. I have confidence with the players but it is clear we need to improve the squad.

"I know what we need and we are trying to find solutions with the team. I have targets but now is not the moment to talk about this, now is the moment to talk about the game tomorrow."

"It's a very important game. It's not Premier League but we want to win and our goal is to win. They had a good win in their last game, but we want to win also and put our problems to bed and move forward."

"It wasn't an easy decision as Premier League is a massive step. This is a different challenge for me."

“I have one goal at this moment in time - to see this club remain in the Premier League.”

Marco on Mourinho comparison - "he's a fantastic person and what he's won in his career. He's a friend and it's proud for Portuguese people what he's done in his career."

"We don't have a lot of money to spend but we need to improve our team."

“I will try to do my job to the best of my ability. I will give my all to this club to improve our situation. I believe!”

"I'm not The Special One. I'm Marco Silva."

He seems to have impressed everyone who attended.

 

So we've only got one centre back and no right back available, tomorrow's team selection should be interesting.
