Frustrating.
I think going 1-0 up at half-time and obviously with the extra man, we felt we could try and see the game out and maybe nick another goal.
But I think you'd have to give City credit.
They changed positions a lot, made it difficult for us and, as you said, created some good chances.
But I think before the game, a point would have been a good result.
When we look at it in the grand scheme of things, it will be, but at the minute, a bit frustrated.
What was the plan, Wayne?
Just to try and frustrate them.
We know they've got some quality players and they like to change positions and move the ball quickly.
We just felt if we could frustrate them, get bodies behind the ball, we know we could create chances on the break.
I have to say, I thought Calvert-Lewin was fantastic today for us.
He held the ball up, brought players in, and for a young lad, he's done really well today.
No, I think we're all trying to help each other and he's got huge potential and it was great to see him get a chance tonight.
A difficult job away at City, we knew he'd have to fight for the ball and try and hold it up for us.
I thought he'd done that excellently, so full credit to him.
But I think at the end of the day, when we look back in a week's time, a point will be a good result for us.
Yeah, I think obviously the man just made it clear he wants to play me in any of the attacking positions.
As you know, guys, I've done that all my career and I think the thing with me is to play.
Last year I didn't feel I played enough games and obviously if you're not playing them games you don't get that match fitness and I think I paid the price for that.
But I've had a good pre-season and played a lot of games over the last few weeks and I feel good and I think that's vital for me if I'm going to play in these different positions.
