David, how proud are you by your team's performance to leave here with a point?
I'm thrilled to come away from a point from here because, you know, I think I watch Spurs a lot and I think they've got really good players, really, really exciting young talent.
And, you know, I've seen them win fives here and fours here and beat Real Madrid here.
So I think for our boys to come here and go away with a point tonight was a really good result for us.
Well, no time, because really the preparation was only this morning, because you're having to give the players the day to recover, and then really seeing who was fit, who wasn't fit, and the ones who sometimes it takes two days for their injuries to come through or they feel OK.
So I've got to say, great credit to them, because we're having to work really hard with not the biggest squad, and we've got a few long-term injuries, which has meant that we've not been able to change the team around that much.
When Obiang stepped up to hit it, what were you thinking?
Well, I was delighted we were having a shot, that's what I would say.
But I've got to say, when he went in, it was more surprise and disbelief that we'd taken the lead, because obviously, you know, Tottenham had so much of the ball and so many opportunities.
But I think, you know, there's another side to football when you've not got the best players, and you have to try and do that well, and we've done that side well tonight.
Was it almost not in the plan then to go ahead?
Oh, it was certainly in the plan.
It was in the plan from minute one to go ahead.
But, you know...
I've seen quite a few teams come here and open up, and I've not had the best results.
They scored a screamer as well, but you seemed to be unhappy in the build-up, is that right?
Yeah, I thought Lanzini had been fouled, and actually if you look at the area he scores the goal from, I think Lanzini would have been in that area to defend it, but I've had a look at it and the referee got the decision right and it wasn't a foul.
No, it doesn't affect my thinking.
The club, I'm only here for seven or eight weeks, so the club should have an idea of what's required as well.
I think the big thing is to make sure we try and get away from the bottom end of the table.
