Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has been speaking to the media before Saturday's FA Cup fourth round tie against Newcastle United at Villa Park (kick-off 17:45 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- Emery praised his players for being "versatile" in operating in different positions to help the club through a spell of several injuries.
- He explained the transfer window has at least offered him "different possibilities" despite the injuries.
- Emery said: "Lamare Bogarde, for example, is a very good possibility and is getting good performance with us. He was here when I arrived here, in the academy, training with us. Now, how he is performing and playing as a right full-back - marking Kaoru Mitoma - and as a midfielder."
- The Spaniard offered positive tones on the "consistency" of Amadou Onana and contribution of Ross Barkley, citing the work of such players as reason as to why Villa "have enough players".
- On Douglas Luiz, Emery said: "He left from here one-and-a-half years ago. He didn't play a lot in Juventus and Nottingham Forest. Coming here, I said to him, 'you must recover, remember everything we are doing here, you were performing so, so good'. We are doing it. The three matches he played, the last one on Wednesday, he played a good match."
- On 19-year-old winger Alysson, who joined the club in January from Brazilian side Gremio, Emery said: "He is a winger, left foot, plays normally in the right side. He has qualities or skills like a Leon Bailey. He has a huge potential. His adaptation has been progressing better but he needed time and he's still needing time to adapt to us and get his best performances."
