SILVA PRE MATCH LINCOLN P/C
Silva on Gbamin
Day by day we will see how he can be. For the moment we can talk to you about 6-8 weeks.
In this moment these are the targets for him to be training with us.
It’s a tough moment for him of course, and we are here to support him. It’s not an easy moment, but it’s part of football and it can happen. Now it’s up to us to put him in the best condition.”
Delph ready
Marco Silva says Delph in the “condition” to play.
Silva on Lincoln selection
Lincoln is a team we know very well, they know us well.
We play with our maximum ambition in this competition to do something special.
We will play with the XI I think is best to win the match.
We are talking about a team very strong on set pieces and they will give their maximum to play against us.
It’s up to us to do what we should to win the match.
Silva on his own side
We have to be ourselves, respect the competition and respect the opponent.
This type of competition is always tough to play, but we have full confidence in our team.
On the League Cup
In football, the most important thing is winning football matches.
Our way is to go there to win the football match, to stay in this competition.
Silva on Delph
When we signed him I said for sure he’d be an important player for us.
He can give different options to me in a technical point of view.
Now is a moment for us to decide if he’s ready to start or not.
He will be a really good player for us.
On JP and Delph
When you lose one player like JP, you’re talking about a completely different profile.
Fabian can play No. 6 but he’s a different profile.
Maybe we have to play a different way when he is there.
On Aston Villa
The last game was a bad result for us but we have to react.
Silva on Iwobi
Not just him but Kean’s impact was really important [against Villa]. They understood what I expect.
Alex gave us very good things in that moment and I’m very sure with more minutes we’ll see his quality.
