Lolo slates 3-5-2 in today's interview

Not really but the papers will no dount say he did:

1. You play at Everton this weekend. This is an important game if you want to move back up the table..

Absolutely. After losing at home to Tottenham, we lost some ground in the table and we will be going all out to get at least a point. It's really too bad to be tenth in the table as we were doing really well. We have to react (reagir - the French verb doesn't translate that well here although "react" is the literal translation).#

2. The situation would get a bit complicated if you lost.

Hang on, you have to bear the results of other matches in mind. We aren't even thinking about losing anyway: we are going for at least a point.

3. Will Bobby Robson stick with 3-5-2?

In training, we have been playing with 4 at the back but nothing is certain at this stage. I've reverted to left winger and I much prefer playing with four at the back.

5. Is anyone injured?

No, but Robert Lee is ill and he isn't likely to play.

6. Next Tuesday, Lemerre will be naming the French squad for Australia. Have you been thinking about it?

I'm not putting myself under any pressure. I have a big match tomorrow and I can think about the French squad after that.

Au revoir.
