Julen Lopetegui’s pre-Liverpool press conference
West Ham United Training Ground, Tuesday 24 September 2024, 12noon
We don’t have any new injuries. I think that today we will see that Niclas Füllkrug is better too.
Yesterday he trained and today he will too. Then we will see his level, ahead of the game tomorrow.
The most important thing is for all of them to face a tough match.
We know we are going to play against the defending champions, and at Anfield, where it is always tough.
It’s going to be a big challenge, but we’re looking forward to it.
We go into every competition wanting to do our best, and go as far as possible.
To do that we have to overcome Liverpool at Anfield. It’s not an easy task, but we go there with that ambition for sure.
We’re going to try to be balanced, so we can compete at our best tomorrow.
We’re focused on the game tomorrow – the first aim for us now is Anfield, and we have to be 100 per cent concentrated on that.
All of the squad have to be ready. I’m not going to tell you the line-up, but Łukasz Fabiański will play.
It’s true we have a lot of new players, and some who are new to England, but we are one team.
They are still adapting, but we’re working for everyone to be able to contribute throughout the season.
When you change one player at half-time, it’s not because of form, but it’s because you feel you have to change something.
It’s not going against one player, it’s maybe going against my first decision. I don’t like to do this, but he’s an experienced player and he knows these things can happen sometimes.

That has happened, and now we are focused on the next match.
For sure, we made mistakes, and that is part of football. As a coach, we make decisions, but we have to improve going forward.
