<p>He told reporters: "I think Kobbie Mainoo is improving a lot during the last matches, I think you guys [the media] feel like Kobbie Mainoo is the finished product – he is not, he has so much potential to grow up even more. He is really, really good but he can be so much better. I think he is improving, all the players are improving, all the players are important for me, no matter what."</p>
