It's all over.
I mean, Chelsea cannot throw it away.
They've been brilliant this season.
I don't see any slip-ups from here, Al, do you?
Well, you know, I think we've shown in the last two games what we've shown most of the year, really.
We're committed and strong performance today, but they didn't give us anything.
We've been the first team we've not scored for a while, but they defended superbly well today.
I mean, obviously, as a fellow coach, I have to say that that was as good a defensive display.
We couldn't find a way through, even on set plays, which we're strong at.
They defended them very well.
So it made it very, very difficult once we conceded that first goal.
It was a shame because we had a couple of big chances first half.
Yeah, we couldn't get him isolated, really.
Our transition was quite good.
We kept the ball well, which we talked about.
They're going to sit back and we passed it well.
And then our final pass was very, very difficult because they block your angle passes to your wide players, so...
It was tough to get the ball to him today.
I felt for our offensive players, this is the toughest game they've had.
But, you know, as I say, this team is not getting what it deserves, in my opinion.
