Every word Thomas Frank said on Chelsea clash, David Raya and more

Team news/COVID?

Everyone is in a good place. Everyone came back fresh as ever. Ready to go ahead of tomorrow.

Current league position?

I didn't know how good we would be. We know this league is relentless against some of the best teams in the world. I think we probably deserved more points.

Does the performance from the last league meeting give you more confidence?

I think the first 60 minutes, we defended very well and gave very little away. The last 25-30 minutes, we changed the system a little bit. Mendy was from a different planet that day.

Thoughts on Thomas Tuchel?

He has done a very impressive job at Chelsea. It's clear when he came in, adjusted a few bits and won the Champions League - which is impressive.

David Raya made his Spain debut last week. How great was it to see him play for a good and well-respected national team?

That is huge! For a football club of our size and the way we progressed through the leagues, now we are in the Premier League that we can have a player from the Spanish national team that is getting his debut - it is really really big that he [Raya] can play for Brentford and get a debut for one of the biggest national teams in the world.
