Adam Forshaw has spoken exclusively with LUTV, previewing the upcoming trip to face Chelsea this weekend in the Premier League.
The Whites take on the title-hopefuls at Stamford Bridge (3pm) looking to continue their recent resilient form in the league, with just one loss from seven games.
First of all, Forshaw spoke about how much he is enjoying being back out on the pitch after such a long injury lay-off.
“I feel really good,” he stated.
“I’m recovering well from games now, so I am just looking forward to the next one this weekend at Chelsea, to keep building and helping the team as much as I can.
“I am getting fitter and fitter as the games go on. Once I proved it to myself when I did the 90 minutes against Leicester, that was it.
“The little bit of cramp in that game in the calves, I haven’t had since. I am just feeling more confident and comfortable as the games go on, so hopefully long may that continue.
“It was tough times for me in the last years, I won’t lie, but now I am like a kid again."
On to Saturday’s opponents, the midfielder knows it will be a tough test against another top side, so he explained how he thought the team could play against Chelsea.
Forshaw said: “Us as a unit, we have to make sure we defend well, first and foremost.
“Going to places like Chelsea, I think you have to be disciplined. You have to ride moments, definitely, as they have brilliant individual players.
“We have to remain focused as much as we can and use the pace that we have on the break, to try and surprise them ourselves.
“When you got to places like this, you have to be compact without the ball and hard to beat. But, then try and expand when you do have it.
“Retain the ball as well as you can and go from there, try and frustrate them, too.”
