Michail Antonio

From the season before, his stats and how he was getting the boys playing, it wasn't the best obviously in and around it.

When I was going away to Dubai to do my rehab and coming back in the club, it wasn't the best.

And then in the summer, he chose to get rid of all the senior players.

So Lucas Fabianski, me, Aaron Cresswell, Vlad, Edson, the players that are more like leaders.

And in that moment when he's done that, you know, you need to have some type of leaders.

You need senior players in the changing rooms to try and lift boys or to be in there to speak to boys when things ain't going well.

And obviously he didn't start the season the best and the club ended up getting rid of him.

But before they managed to get rid of him, he got rid of so much leaders.

And then two, three weeks later, he goes, we've got no leaders in the changing rooms.

Like, it actually, it makes no sense.

The club made a decision quite quickly to get rid of him.

But there was a lot to get rid of now.

So in that situation, the new managers come in.

He wasn't able to sign the players that he wanted to sign.

He had to try and get rid of players that he didn't want.

And it wasn't until January when he got to sign players and bring people in, bring his own staffing in, is when the club started to pick up again.

And it was too little too late.

In my eyes, being at the club, I honestly, I thought this is the problem.

The problem is that they never plan four, five years, six years ahead.

They're always planning for the season that's in front of them.
