00:06But if you add the minutes together, he probably only had two or three 90-minute games.

00:13But yeah, that is what we inherited from the situation of him not being with the team in Newcastle.

00:21And we knew this before, so it's not an excuse.

00:24He already scored a goal.

00:26He gets fitter and fitter, but the main thing, he needs to adjust to his teammates, and the teammates need to adjust to him.

00:31And the more you play together, the better things will work.

00:34There was a great moment, not great, because it didn't end up the way I wanted, but he had a great countermovement in the Palace game,

00:41where in the end the midfield didn't see that, and he already played the ball to the right.

00:46If he would have seen it, he would have been one-on-one to the goalkeeper.
