Jacob Steinberg was at the London Stadium tonight. Here’s his report. Thanks for reading this MBM.
Enzo Maresca’s turn to speak to Sky. “It was quite difficult … Cole’s problem during the warm-up, and then we conceded a goal … the reaction was very good … we continued to play in the way we planned … we deserved to win the game … there was plenty of time to recover in the game … even tonight I think we can do many things better … after three or four goals we can manage the ball better … but we improved compared to Palace … we are very happy with Estevao … also very happy with the rest … we are very happy with the 5-1!”
He also reports that Palmer “in the last four or five days was not 100 percent … during the warm-up he again felt something … we did not take the risk … we will see in the next hours.”
