🚨BREAKING Full Enzo Maresca pre- Everton press conference:
Injury news:
"He's available [Cole Palmer]. He finished the session with us yesterday with a mixed feeling, but he's okay. Wes is fine. He completed the session yesterday. He's fine"
Winning Manager of the Month:
"This kind of thing, it's because you do the right things. Performances and results were fantastic. We didn't start December in the way we like. Three games in a row in one week, we didn't get the results we expect, but we focus on the next one."
Acheampong performance vs Atalanta:
"Absolutely, yes. The good thing about Josh, the moment we give him a chance, he is always doing well. He is going to be a big player for this club, but he just needs to be patience and wait for the right moment. In this moment, with Trev and Wes, we have four, five, six games with clean sheets, so sometimes you are also looking for stability. This is the reason why but when you know you have a player that when you need him is always ready to perform, it's important."
Fatigue in the squad:
"I said already many times, they work every day to play games. The Atalanta game, Enzo, Marc, they are playing many games. It's normal that the level is not always the same. I've no doubt Andrey will have his chance, Jorrel the same. Hopefully tomorrow - or soon - we can give them chances."
How to help Delap through hard times with injuries:
"Liam in general is good. He knows he has been unlucky, but he is in general good. He is in the building every day to recover. He is with his teammates for breakfast and lunch, but it's just about the time to recover."
Recent form:
"It's football - it's completely normal. We are always looking for problems and things we need to solve. The Leeds game was eight/nine days ago, we are not going to change our season because we didn't get the points we expect. I'm completely relaxed. It's football, that's the reason why we drop points."
Coming up against Dewsbury-Hall:
"I didn't have any doubt about Kiernan. The more he plays, he is going to be better. But he was good for us. But there was a big competition for him."
Stamford Bridge atmosphere:
"It's a nice feeling, for sure. We need to help them too for them to be with us from the beginning. There is no doubt they will be with us from the whistle."
Importance of Everton clash:
For sure, it's important but all the games are important. Bournemouth was important, we have Cardiff and then Newcastle, so yeah really important.
More consistency:
"It's the next step for us. I think during the season, the ones that are more consistent, they are the teams that are going to be there. How do we do that, it's just one week, it's not a long time, but for sure when something happens, the next one you are more prepared and you can avoid that. In terms of human beings, it's impossible to be at the same level for the whole season but we need to learn things for the future.🤷🤷
