"I think we can have a look and see what we can do better. Obviously, I've been here a few weeks so I haven't got the answers completely.
"But clearly, we want to always try to improve and that's an area that we can probably improve."
When talking about the solutions he can look to in the squad, he shared: "It would be wrong to say we won’t miss a player like Reece or NG (Kante) – Wesley Fofana as well.
"But that’s the job of the squad, my challenge is to find different solutions. We haven’t got another Reece James or another N’Golo Kante."
He continued: "You’ve got to find a different way of working in the team. Tactically, that’s a challenge but one we are up for."
