MATCH QUOTES

“It is no good stirring things up unnecessarily, but something has definitely got to be sorted out and it is the manager's job to do it. "Perhaps certain players have got to be left out to sort themselves out. Then they can decide whether or not they want to stay." Dennis Mortimer. "The time for excuses has run out. "The meeting will probably get a little heated and I hope it does. A lot of things meed to be said and we have to clear the air and get things right for Wednesday's game. "We shouldn't have to be lifting the players all the time, but I'm sure they will go to Everton with the right attitude.” Tony Barton.
