DW: "Jaden Warner is ill. He is an option to go out on loan. after next few games we will have a better picture as to what to do."

DW on Tony Springett: “He didn’t produce in the opportunities he has had. He needs more game time and better numbers in terms of goals and assists before he makes his next step.”

DW: “It’s a good squad in terms of numbers at the moment, but this might be different in two weeks. We’ve experienced this during the season is n so far. I am calm on this.”

DW on incomings: “It’s quiet, this is the truth.”

DW on Jan window across England: “Business will probably accelerate at the end of the window. But I think this has been a quiet window in general for all clubs.”

DW: “We need to improve in ball possession and be brave. But we as a whole group committed to make a big step in our defensive approach.”

DW on Dimi Giannoulis challenge against HCAFC: “I didn’t see it in the game. It looks worse than it was. Dimi would not have done this on purpose and I have spoken to him about this. The referee made the right decision with the yellow card.”

DW on Bristol Rovers “I and we expect a testing environment. A tight stadium and it’s sold out. The reward and the prize is clear. I would love to go to Anfield and so would my players. We will take this game super serious and perform at the highest level.”

DW on potential reunion with Jurgen Klopp: “I got a phone call when the draw was made. Five seconds after it happened. He told me the draw.”

DW: “We will not make nine changes again, but we will make changes. We have lots of games coming quick and fast like the busy Christmas period. We like to win this game and take it game-by-game.”

DW: “We have to be ready for the fight and win second balls. Their approach will not change. We must be ruthless.”

DW: “We agreed that we have to dramatically improve our game in conceding goals and big chances. We have spoken about this and addressed it. We are now conceding only one per game and this is fantastic.”
