RLB IMPRESSED BY MUNDLE

Romaine Mundle showed his quality against Oxford, being a thorn in their side throughout our FA Cup clash. He hasn't scored in the Premier League yet and has struggled to nail down a place in the starting 11 after missing pre-season through injury, but Regis Le Bris is happy to give opportunities to any player who impresses.

CONFIDENCE BOOSTER

“He can absolutely be an important player for us in the rest of the season. He still needs time and support, and that will allow his confidence to continue to grow. For a forward player, for a winger, you always need to have this confidence. Performances like this one [against Oxford] will help with that."

COULD HAVE SCORED

"He was good – it would have been good for him to have scored with one of his chances in the second half because he deserved it. He didn’t, but at least he played a good game and that is really positive.”

RESPECT THE CUP

“You never know what can happen in a cup competition. You never know who your opponents are going to be as you progress through the different rounds. The one thing I would say is that at Everton and Oxford, we played our best team in both matches. That is something we will continue to do. We went strong, we went with good energy and real ambition. We will see whether that is enough in the next rounds.”
