Glasner on Delap, improving mentality and Liverpool
Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Liverpool at Anfield (kick-off 12:30 BST). Here are the key lines from his news conference: \n Midfielders Morgan Gibbs-White and Ryan Yates will be available, but Ibrahim Sangare will miss the match on Saturday because of a calf injury picked up during training on Wednesday. Glasner said new signing Liam Delap is the "perfect player" for his side and Forest will "reignite" his career. He added: "He is hungry, he wants to improve, he wants to make a step forward - and this is what we are looking for when we sign players. So the entire package looked great." Glasner expects at least one more signing. He said the club could "potentially" sign a wing-back, but when asked about potentially signing Dainel Munoz from Crystal Palace , he said: "No comments on any names. When the ink is dry, you will be informed." On improving the mentality of players, Glasner said: "When you had such a difficult, tricky, challenging season then something happens in your head. This is the biggest part to change, to improve, and this is probably the part that takes longest. It's a lot of psychology and confidence - there is no button you can press." On making changes, he added: "If we want things to change, we have to change them. No-one will do it for us. And this is sometimes getting out of the comfort zone and accepting reality. Roll your sleeves up, head down and let's go. This is the mentality we want to create. Roll your sleeves up, work hard every single day and then we will get better results." He said the formation will be decided after the transfer window, based on the players he has. Glasner added: "I always want to have our best players on the pitch, so I'm not strictly saying we have to play in a 3-4-3. If I believe we need more attacking players on the pitch, then we will change the system immediately - then some players will have different roles." On Liverpool: "Liverpool had some changes with the new manager, Andoni Iraola, who has done an excellent job with Bournemouth . We know his style of pla and it is very intense. They have a very attacking midfield with Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz, and very attacking full-backs with Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez." \n Follow all of Friday's Premier League news conferences and the rest of the day's football news Got a question about Forest?
