Have off-field changes impacted team?
Frank: "The day it was decided Daniel wasn't here anymore was unusual, then the first couple of weeks there were a few questions from you guys but then you get on with things. I focus on preparing the team in the best possible way."
On Pape Matar Sarr - is he fit?
Frank: "Yes, there's nothing wrong with him. It's just competition and other players have done well. In general I'm happy with Pape, he was one of the players that impressed me most at the start of the season."
On Xavi Simons
Frank: "Xavi has been with us for seven or eight weeks which is a short time in football but also a long time.
"I liked his personality after the first 60 minutes against Villa but he then tired a bit.
"Our demands to him is more intensity but a player I believe in, he's got the pass and vision.
"We've just been training and he trained very well."
On Jack Grealish
Frank: "Everton is a very competitive team. There are more players than just Grealish, Beto has been good, Ndiaye too and Dewsbury-Hall after maybe not being on top at Chelsea.
"My colleague David Moyes' teams are always competitive, I've always respected him.
"The coaching stuff and Moyes have got Jack flourishing again, he's so dangerous and can create from nothing."
Kolo Muani, how close to starting?
Frank: "He's definitely getting closer. It's the first time he's had a sustained block of training and minutes. He can't be bombarding 90 minutes again and again but he can be used, which is good news."
Fixture list, tough games?
Frank: "I'm learning every day about the team, the players and individuals.
"I see a really willing group trying to do their best for this wonderful club.
"I learned that after the game against Villa, I know we lost but the performance is what I need to look at."
Missing long-term absentees like Madders and Deki?
Frank: "Every head coach or manager wants all their players fit, then we're complaining that the squad is too big
"It is what it is, I very rarely say anything about injuries.
"It's my job to put the best possible team on the pitch."
Updates on Romero, Udogie and Solanke
Frank: "Cuti just walked out on the grass running, positive and progressing, no timeframe but I don't expect it to be a longer one.
"Destiny isn't on the grass yet, not a longer one.
"Dominic positive, he's taking steps in the right direction every day. Sustainable amount of pitch sessions on his own."
