“With the quality of players we have I don’t think we’ll struggle but the only thing is that there won’t be time for any friendlies, that’s when you actually assess your team if they can actually do what you want or what the technical crew wants.
“If there is time to play at least two or three friendly games and then telling them how you want them to operate in departments, individually and collectively in lines then I will say yes but be that as it may we just have to do what we have to do.
“Maybe in training sessions we can tell them how we want them to play and guide them”.
