But if you are playing long balls from very deep inside, if you are playing long balls without your midfielders getting to get a second ball, it's really not worth it.

then it's counterproductive but exactly what we've been doing especially in the first half was we were getting those second balls and then we were getting on the flanks and putting the balls in.

We didn't get great chances apart from Chicharito one but we had enough chances and to be fair what was important for us sometimes it's not the crucial for the confidence that you must create chances but we stopped them really from creating anything in the first half.

Well, this stadium, I said last year that our performances in the second part of the season, let's say 2017, apart from a couple of games against Man City in the Cup and in the league, and apart from the game against Liverpool, we improved our performances.

We played some really good games here.

We played against Perth here, we played against Palace, we played against West Brom.

We lost against Leicester 3-2, but we were really good.

So we are feeling that this stadium is now like our proper home.

It will never be Upton Park, of course.

It is impossible to get it, but it's becoming our home more and more.

Yeah, it's my birthday today and this is a great, great present for me.

It was important for the whole team.

Thank you, thank you.

Yeah, pleased with the performance.

We fought really hard.

We gave everything.

I told the guys if we continue to work this hard on the pitch, one for each other, that we're going to be...

Very good at the table.

Of course, cut it above the result.

With ten men to be that long in a game, with ten men against a really good team, it's very difficult.
