He said on Sky Sports: "I think he's got a clear identity of how he wants to play, I think he's got a clear message of how he wants every individual player to be in possession, out of possession, that will take time.

"He's alluded to the fact that it will take time to implement his style and the way he wants to go about things.

"But I do think if you're going to concede goals like they have and set plays then they're going to find it increasingly difficult."
