Shay Given: "I think everybody has got carried away a bit. There's a lot of work to be done and Kevin has not got a magic wand."It is not going to happen overnight.
"The gaffer has said he does not want to bring players in for the short-term for a quick fix, so if people don't arrive in the next day or so, we will have to make do with what we have until the summer time and and get some players in then.
"It is going to take time for him to get in the players he wants and get his ideas across and hopefully build a stronger squad.
"When you look at a team like Arsenal, the squad they have, they could probably put out two teams for both occasions against us and still have been strong enough to win.
"We are very low in numbers at the minute."
"There is a danger now of getting sucked into the relegation battle.
"We are very aware of that. We are looking over our shoulders.
"The good thing is that we are not playing Arsenal away every week, even though it seems like it after the last two games.
"We have got a massive game now on Sunday against Middlesbrough. It is a derby and they are in and around us in the table, so it is huge game."
