"What we can not do is create bigger things from this now because we know fans love our players and I know they will support him and the rest of the team.

"We need to be careful in the way we talk and give our opinions because there needs to be a strong relationship between everyone.

"I just want our players to play really well. I was also suffering the anger of the fans and their disappointment, in fact the whole team suffered in this situation. But Raheem is a spirited player and he understands it all.

"We now need to move on. It will help if we do."
