I mean, I said in the week, football's really never changed.
You know, if you don't concede goals and you score goals and you keep a shape that it's hard to break down, you'll win more than you lose.
And tonight was a classic.
You could hear the crowd getting frustrated of them playing around the back.
And we knew that was going to happen because it happens at our place.
You know, when you keep playing and playing and you're not going forward, the crowd just want you to go forward.
And
The pressure builds.
I mean, I don't know if you've watched the game today, but the Liverpool game, the crowd was anxious because they wasn't going forward and playing.
And tonight was, for us, was a defining moment, I think, in the season.
It showed that we can be under the caution in the last five minutes and still defend really well.
I think so, Jane, because you look at Chelsea away, we've done a very similar job on Chelsea.
But at home, we go 1-0 up and we keep going and we keep going and we try and get the second one.
And this year, that second goal hasn't come often.
So sometimes you need to shore it up at the back, get your players in a defending unit and try and play from there.
And I thought we'd done that tonight.
We looked really dangerous on the counter.
I think they keep and made a couple of great saves, actually.
But towards the end, they had a couple of chances, but we got away with it and we go on with the three points.
Yeah, because it builds confidence in the team that you can defend and you're fighting for each other and people are filling in and that's what you need in this league.
