Q&A

Should Raheem Sterling have taken the penalty instead of Cole Palmer?

The decision for Palmer to take the penalty was based on the relationship and trust between him and Sterling. While Palmer missed the penalty, we support the decision and believe in the growth and maturity of our players.

Is our defensive line to blame for conceding goals?

The focus is not solely on the defensive line but on achieving a collective balance in the team. We recognize the need for overall improvement, including in terms of team structure and work rate both with and without the ball.

Do we need more goal scorers?

Scoring goals is not the only aspect we need to improve. It is crucial to find the right balance between attacking prowess and defensive stability. However, the progress and maturity of our young players will contribute to a more consistent goal-scoring threat in the future.

Do the fans need to trust the manager and the team more?

It is essential for the fans to trust the club's project and vision rather than solely focusing on trust in the manager or individual players. We appreciate and understand their emotions, and we will continue working to build a stronger connection with our supporters.

Was the victory in the match a result of luck?

While luck is not solely responsible for our victories or defeats, we acknowledge that certain periods in the Premier League have not been fortunate for us. However, we believe in our progress and the potential to improve our position through consistent performances in the remaining matches.
