Well, I couldn't be any more proud of the group of players.

They'd give every single ounce of energy that they had through the 94 minutes, so from that point of view, they give everything they had.

Well, I think we needed to play forward a little bit earlier.

And I thought we did that.

And when we scored the goal, then I thought we would start to put them under pressure.

But obviously then we conceded, which put us then on the back foot.

But we still had chances when the ball went in the box.

Sort of the back end of the...

second half Will you relive that Ayala chance at 1-1 that chance in particular Yeah it is a chance but Danny's done again everything it's a knockdown he's had to get his head on it and he goes straight at Peter Cech and he goes a metre either side it's a goal so he did everything he possibly could it just wasn't to be At 1-1 particularly when you sent Traore on

Did you really sense blood at that point?

Yeah, I think Adama's obviously got the pace to hurt the opposition and he did have a couple of good runs.

And yes, of course, and Gestert as well.

Then we went with two strikers and Grant had an injury.

So, you know, we were on the front foot.

We tried almost everything we could possibly do from a tactical point of view.

But as I said earlier, it just wasn't to be on the night.

Despite your best efforts then, has a difficult task...

now become impossible?

Or is there still a chance?

This group don't know how to give in.
