With an ACL, he's hitting all of the benchmarks he needs to but we need to make sure he keeps getting past certain levels, said Rosenior. He's still looking at a good while yet.
Every manager goes through difficult weeks, said Rosenior. I've had challenging periods before. I've lost games in many jobs, like all managers have done. We need to find a way to fight at Everton and come through a difficult period.
You're really, really worried the next day, Rosenior said. Obviously, it's never good that Trevor is out for any period of time but fortunately it's nowhere near as serious as we first feared.
