“I am positively worried about how we are doing the process with the players we joined this summer, and building the structure as strong as possible.
“I am positive, because I think we should do it getting better each match, and worried because we are \[in a\] lack of some points in the league, we are lacking of some moments not performing enough to win matches, and working hard, analysing deeply every match we are playing, analysing deeply each player how they are progressing.
“Sometimes, the progress is being forward, clear. Sometimes, we are doing one step back in some situations – for example, last week, against Fulham at home when we drew.
“We started fantastic in the Champions League, but we lost in Barcelona 3-0. We performed more or less in good ways like we planned, but it was not enough, because the level we were facing, this is the highest level for Premier League and for the Champions League matches.
“Of course, everything matters. How we are tactically trying to set our structure, defensively, offensively. The players, how they understanding everything, how we are individually giving them confidence, to feel confident, comfortable in the structure.
“How we can as well set some players in the combinations we need on the field with them, understanding it’s better to play right side, left side, it’s better to play lower, higher, how we can get \[the\] best ways in our build up.
“So, we have a lot of work to do, and we must compete at the same time.”
