There are a lot of positives in Rob's performance today.

And what you'll know with me is I protect my players.

I'm asking him to do things.

If he makes a mistake doing what I'm asking him to do, that's on me.

but I have a lot of faith that in the long term we'll improve as a team with the messages that we're giving him and all the players.

Except for you, Dan.

Chelsea are a huge club, and I know a lot of questions are being asked of my CV and my playing career and my reputation.

So I want to prove that I'm worthy of this amazing privilege that I have to be head coach of Chelsea Football Club.

Who would have said that me from Wandsworth, with the playing career that I've had and CV that I've had, ends up as head coach at Chelsea?

You have to give people a chance.

Otherwise, what's the point?

The fans, when they come to see us play, we might win games.

We're probably going to lose some games along the way.

But they can come out of the stadium, they can say, those 11 players, they gave everything in the moment.

And I think if I can work towards that, then the opinions or whether I deserve the job or whether I'm experienced enough or whether I'm good enough, it's nice.

Loved it.

Loved it.

I have to say the staff, the players have made me feel so welcome with my staff.

It has been a whirlwind, you know, getting off the plane in Strasbourg and I literally came straight to the training ground to meet the players.

But I have to say so far their engagement, their enthusiasm, their work ethic and just how they've been as human beings has been top.
