“I can’t stitch my team mates up, can I? The most loudly dressed is (DeAndre) Yedlin!”

Who has the worst taste in music?

Who spends the most time in front of the mirror?

“Not me because I don’t have much hair! Mmmm, Joelinton.”

Player you’d least like to get in a fight with?

“So the biggest person. It would have to be Martin (Dubravka).

Who’s got the best nickname?

“There are quite a few nicknames but the best is for (Allan) Saint Maximin.

“He’s known as Gucci, because of the hairband he wears to play in! We call him Gucci!”
