But it's the media pressure.

When it's England, it's a different level of pressure that can build very quickly.

We're not stupid.

You feel that.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think when you're sitting there as a coach talking, I find it hard to critique too much because everyone's got their own issues and their own approach.

But my feeling is if you've got the players that are not comfortable doing it and if you understand the opposition, then I think if you want to play down there near your own goal and you want to make passes you're not comfortable, then I think you're waiting for trouble.

Now, you might be analysing my team next year.

Why are they trying to play it from the back?

I've got to be careful what I say.

You will be, 100%.

Yeah, but to even go slightly, we're going to have variations.

And if you look at some of the top teams now, watching Paris Saint-Germain, the best team in Europe, they're hitting goal kicks, 90% of them long.

You go, there is another way.

We don't have to over-coach to show how great a coach we can go from back to front because everyone is waiting for you to do that.

So I think in simple terms, a team like them... What did we think?

I don't know whether he sees him, because he's played more as a number 10 for Chelsea, whether he thinks on the right, he wants that dynamic thing to go by.

And Cole Palmer can go by players, obviously, because he's got that, but it's a different style, isn't it?

I'm a big fan of Cole Palmer and I think where this game, I think where the conditions here are, the game's going to slow down a bit and it can be a bit turgid at times and teams with the heat and he's a player that can open things up.

Absolutely, no doubt.
