The head coach said he has more players available this week to prepare for the match against Everton. Before the game against Aston villa Smerud said:
“It’s going to be a quite long list, so we have to wait until Sunday to see who is available. Some challenges on that front but I am not going to go into the details now. I have to check and see who is available or not when we get to the game. We have some question marks, so let’s wait with that.”
What the coach has to say:
Leif Smerud on the performance against Aston Villa: “It impressed me a lot. High pressure games like that are not easy. This team has had a tough season so far, coming from many bad experiences. Especially at the end of games, where they have lost points.
“I think to manage to ride the storm and to perform under those conditions where we had to. I said it was a must perform. It was a very important game to get that result from. That impressed me, because mentally that’s a demanding place for a team and player to be.”
On the threats of facing Everton: “I think it is a well coached team with may strings to play on – if that’s an expression in English. It’s a team that is good on the ball, they have different ways to play and set-up.
“The way they have developed over time is good. But I am confident we can go out there and give them a fight. We will see, it will be a very interesting game.”
