00:00In your forward line you've got six options,

00:02just thinking Jota scored two goals against West Ham,

00:05Salah's got four goals in his seven games so far,

00:08Gakpo is off the mark with two against West Ham,

00:11Nunez started back-to-back games and scored against Bournemouth and Luis Diaz,

00:14five goals in six appearances so far,

00:16add to that you've been able to give Kies a minute,

00:19so talk us through how you look at, or how would you describe,

00:22the decisions you've got to make when selecting your starting forward line?

00:26For me it says two things,

00:28it says one that these players have a lot of quality,

00:32and second of all it says that the team is always creating chances

00:35for the players that we are selecting for that game.

00:39Because if we play Cody or if we play Lucio,

00:43the team is just creating chances for these individuals,

00:47and because they have so much quality they can promote this to assist our goals.

00:54So, yeah, that's what it says to me.

00:57Also, I need to follow up on that,

01:01because it's showing that they're sharp as well,

01:04whether they've been out on the side, they're coming in and producing,

01:07how are you able to maintain that sharpness

01:09when they're not necessarily getting the maximum amount of minutes?

01:13Yeah, that's the positive thing about playing so many games,

01:15that these players will always play a lot of games,

01:20and I think they understand that they can't play every game

01:23unless it's absolutely necessary,

01:26and to keep them fit and sharp and to keep them ready to perform like they do.

01:32So, as long as they accept the situation as it is,

01:37and that's what they're doing at the moment because they have good numbers,

01:42and I see them smile a lot as well, then it's a very positive thing for us,

01:45and that's also one of my things and my job.

01:49I have to keep them alert and happy in the position they are in.
