Guus hiddink acknowledges memphis depay and others must adapt to premier league
“But I think we can go and win game by game and finish the league in the top four”.

Yet the task of reviving the fallen champions and clashes like Monday night’s at Manchester United still get his pulse racing.
“When we are near the end of the game and get a penalty, we deserved a 3-2 win”, he said.
The decision to omit Rooney from the starting XI, combined with defeat at the Britannia Stadium, has further increased the pressure on manager Louis van Gaal who said after the match that he could quit the club. “I have to go on and find a solution as soon as possible”.
But Oscar slipped as he ran up to the ball and ballooned his penalty over the crossbar, leaving Hiddink to quip: “He must have had slicks on, when he should have had normal tyres on”.
Chelsea face Manchester United on Monday and will be without Diego Costa – who scored both their goals in the draw with Watford – due to suspension, but Matic insists they will be ready.
The temperamental Costa, so often the London club’s villain during a campaign where he has frequently looked completely off the pace, netted in the 32nd and 65th minutes to take his season’s goal tally to five in the Premier League.
“He focused himself on what he is good at and not wasting extra energy where he shouldn’t waste it”, added Hiddink.
“That’s an experience that all players, not just him, have to overcome”.
The Nigerian was a 46th minute substitute for Cesc Fabregas as Guus Hiddink’s team failed to subdue the Hornets at the Stamford Bridge.
Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien claims that the Blues’ 2-2 home draw with Watford on Boxing Day was unlucky.
Diego Costa scored twice, putting the hosts ahead and then equalising after Troy Deeney had levelled for Watford with a penalty and Odion Ighalo’s shot went in off Gary Cahill.
New boss Hiddink was full of praise for his Chelsea team and felt that they had given him the flawless response.

The Dutchman, who is enjoying his second stint in the Stamford Bridge dugout, made no guarantees over the player’s future conduct, arguing that Costa is a player who thrives on emotion.
