00:00I probably expected that with Mo being benched for two games you'd expect a lot of chat about him,

00:06but I'm going to put it a different way, the fact that you turned him out at half-time against Sunderland,

00:10how much of an indication is that of a return to the starting line-up maybe this weekend,

00:16rather than two consecutive games on the bench being an indication that his game-time could become more limited

00:21when he's obviously not away at AFCON?

00:23No, but I think for every player it's in my mind to start a game of football,

00:30because we have so many good players, and Mo has been such an exceptional player for us.

00:35So he's always, I don't know which word you use, but he's always in my mind to either start or to come in.

00:47Can you understand all the chat around him?

00:51Yeah, of course, and maybe he even deserves that, because he's been so influential for this club,

00:58and for me, and for his teammates for six or seven years, I think already.

01:04So yeah, it's completely normal if I don't play players that just came to the club,

01:09we're already talking about it, so then it's completely normal that people talk about it when he isn't playing.
