Graeme Souness

That's what the manager was trying to avoid, wasn't it, with those comments in the week?

Yeah, possibly.

Or he just maybe felt they gave the ball away too easily in parts of the game.

But if you're a big team, if you're a big player, this is when you turn up.

You know...

Everyone can be a big personality.

Everyone can be a winner and address me when you win a game after game.

It's when you have the punch on the nose like this.

That's what finds you out, you know, if you're proper or not.

If you can, you know, brush that criticism they'll get, brush the disappointment obviously they will feel, and deal with the next game.

If it's the biggest game of your season or if it's one of the less fancied, you deal with it.

You do what you have to do to get back on track.

And to concede two from a set piece, I don't know if it's one of football's clichés or not, that we all say it's worse because you've conceded and lost because of set pieces, but to do it with two, does that make a difference?

Yeah, they'd be very disappointed with that.

Because, like a lot of teams now, a lot of teams have gone possession in a certain way of playing or a certain talent, but...

One thing that has to be clear is set pieces are key.

We've seen in the World Cup, they can determine a game, they can determine a result, and they've lost today.

Okay, Watford were great second half, but if they defended a set piece as well,

they can win this game 1-0.

So that would be bitterly disappointing for them.
