The example of players, not just players playing professionally now, young lads who get released to clubs, 14, 15, maybe get a professional contract and then go out the game.
How many players, you know, play a couple of games and you never see them again?
What these players have done, obviously the ability they've shown, but the mental strength they've shown, not just now, as young players, the desire they've shown to get where they are, and as I've just said before, legends for a lifetime.
Completely.
Completely lost it.
And I should have mentioned at half-time, I think I said off air, Pochettino's team talk had to not be about tactics, it had to be about emotions.
They looked like they were just losing it before half-time and you're thinking, OK, 2-0 lead, relax, Chelsea have got to come at you, they've got it all to go for.
And the worst thing about it was, obviously there were some shocking challenges at times in the games and the heads are completely gone.
But at 2-2, I think it was the 82nd, 83rd minute.
That's right.
You said that's seven minutes plus five or six.
Six minutes at a time.
So you're talking 12 or 13 minutes.
They never got near the Chelsea goal because they completely lost it.
They didn't have one shot in the 13 minutes, but they had four yellow cards.
That sums it up perfectly.
I think Graeme Souness mentioned it last week that they needed a bit of experience.
Of course, they've been the best team.
And their memories, those players...
as a group of players now and maybe play together for the next four or five years.
