I felt for our defenders tonight because it was a tough agenda.

Hazard was playing with real swaz, so we needed to be on our game.

you know, it just gives everybody a lift when you get a goal and you're back in the game suddenly and we just couldn't do that and there's been times, a lot of times that's happened.

How does he look, Daniel Sturridge?

We're hoping it's not too bad.

Obviously, it was very, very early in the game.

We don't think it's a tear or anything but a strain.

Probably keep him out of the FA Cup game but...

Hopefully, fingers crossed, in a couple of weeks he'll be OK.

I think that's a really...

Not a very nice question, if I'm honest.

I don't think it's anything to do with it, if I'm honest.

It's just confidence maybe to take an extra touch and take it nearer to goal.

But I don't think it's anything to do with that at all.

And I don't know where you get that judgment from.

I'm sorry.

No, I don't think so.

Just poor decision.

He probably thought the goalie might not have been set and to take it early was the best option.

But, you know, in hindsight, he should take a touch in there and bury it.
