We probably had two or three.[LNB]"We only dropped in the bottom three once last year and now we are in it.[LNB]"It might give us all a kick up the backside. We've now got to play Everton at home and they [players] should be relishing it.[LNB]"If you can't raise your game for that, you shouldn't be here."[LNB]PressureHe added: "We're all under pressure at the top level. If you don't want pressure, don't be in it.[LNB]"If you want to be a manager or a coach at the top level, stay in it and prove people wrong.[LNB]"I've been doing that all my life. I had to do it at 15 when I got a free from Walsall, I had to prove at Man City that I could manage at the top level.[LNB]"Who motivates the motivator? We all need motivating sometimes but winning games motivates you. It is all about winning games."[LNB]
