“Everyone is fighting for each other, even the ones that came into the squad, like Issa for example – Joa was ill and Issa was able to step into that role, so it’s a good and competitive spirit that we have in the team.
“As long as we keep that, I’m sure that we can finish high in the table.
“We were ambitious from the start of the season, but the main thing for us is to remain consistent. We see the quality in training every day, it’s just bringing it into matches.
“The results [against Sunderland & Spurs] speak for themselves, not just the performances but to get the results as well, so as long as we keep doing that.
