I think so much of their build-up play, they control a lot of games.
And I think the frustration is the results and some of the performances against the teams in and around them, especially away from home.
I think it's cost them, it's let them down so far.
So they have to find out, they have to learn.
In the Premier League, you don't get much time.
It's relentless, you know, week in, week out.
You have to learn really tough lessons.
And if come the end of the season, the results are still, especially away from home against the teams and around you, are still going the same, then you haven't learned enough or your process throughout the season hasn't been quite right because so much of what they do is fantastic.
You can see that the way they play, so much respect for that, so much...
courage and obviously I worked with Daniel for a really short period of time so I know exactly what he wants them to do and the players believe in that and they carry it out but if ultimately you're still getting the same results and still ending up in the same situation, there's fundamental issues somewhere within that performance, within that team structure that you haven't quite worked out and in the Premier League, which is the big difference to the Championship, you get punished for that.
I think it is incredible, really.
Especially when you chuck in they've won the Champions League in that period as well.
It's no easy feat.
It's not like they've got one thing to focus on.
I think the word for them, the biggest, well, it's intensity and they're relentless with what they do.
They believe in it.
They play with so much energy.
I think they can control a game, but when a game opens up and becomes a bit end-to-end...
there's no one better at it than them, so any kind of game I feel at the moment suits them and suits what they've got, the personnel they've got, the athleticism they've got, they've got the best centre-half in the world, they've got one of the best front threes in the world in terms of, we spoke about Firmino earlier being one of the best number nines in the world at what he does, completely selfless, completely selfless for the team, they all play 100% for the team, they work as hard going backwards to get in front and behind the ball for their team as they do going forward, so
that is so difficult to play against.
