And I think if you know that as a manager, you have to pick your best team.

You have to pick your best team.

Like I mentioned before, Drew came on, made a difference, Hazard.

made a difference.

In my opinion, you know, like I said, Paddy, it's the biggest game of the season and you need your best players on the pitch, as simple as that.

He had a key moment in the game.

He missed the chance.

Obviously, he's not going to be happy.

You can tell that he's upset.

Of course you're going to be.

Champions League football is massive for this football club.

So, you know, they spoke about, like, not him, Conte as well, about being clinical.

And the interesting thing is, you know, I mean, you had a Diego Costa last season and the season before who was scoring goals on a regular basis, one of the best in Europe.

You know, you get rid of players like that, it's difficult to replace that.

So, I don't know, there's so many factors, you know, that we can sit here and talk about.

But, yeah, I mean, from that interview, he's upset, of course.

I think the conditions didn't help us, to be honest, you know, heavy pitch.

And even towards the end when we saw the chances at both ends, you know, where players were taking the extra touch to finish probably on another day where the pitch was better, you know, instinctively you just hit.

I think particularly with Lamella's chance, when he took a touch, he should have probably just helped it on Bafal as well when he took the extra touch when he got into the box.
