00:00And just in terms of who you might get back, is it only Alisson potentially?
00:04Is he even ready yet? And just how is Kuib as well?
00:08I know the disappointment at the end of the game against Newcastle,
00:13but he's got prior to his credit in the bank already for what he's done.
00:17No, definitely. It was on 1-0 where Joe Gomez made a mistake
00:22and they went 1-1 towards him, he saved it, that could have been the 2-0.
00:26So he saved us in that moment, so maybe he saved us a point,
00:30because if we were going 2-0 down, you never know what could happen afterwards,
00:34but things would have been even harder for us.
00:38Unfortunately for Kuib, and that is the position he's in,
00:41if you make a mistake as a goalkeeper or you make a misjudgment,
00:43it's very difficult for someone else to cover it up for you.
00:48He's done that a few times for us, if someone else makes a mistake,
00:51a player, he's always there to help us.
00:53Unfortunately, we as a team are not able to help him,
00:56mostly if he misjudges a ball, because he's our last player.
01:00But I think he's in a good place, although he's disappointed like all the others,
01:05because we drop points from a winning situation one minute before the end.
01:12But he can go into this game with a lot of confidence, let that be clear.
01:17Are they not ready yet?
01:18Not ready yet, no, but he will be ready very soon.
