Postecoglou highlighted Solanke's ability to perform under pressure and his dedication to the team's defensive strategy. He acknowledged that Solanke often has to run a lot to close down opponents, which can be physically demanding. However, Postecoglou believes that this approach gives the team a better chance of success.

Postecoglou also hinted that Brazilian international Richarlison may return to the team soon after recovering from a calf injury. Richarlison has been looking good in training and may get some game time in the next couple of matches. However, Postecoglou emphasized that Solanke has been a crucial player for the team.
