What positives do you take from the performance?
Second half, you would probably all think and rightly so at half-time, how many is it going to be? Because first half we were defending with spirit but nowhere near playing in possession anything like we would need to get out, get in the opposition's half and relieve a bit of pressure on the constant defending that we had to do and of course two wonderful goals from Manchester City as always.
We changed in terms of not so much the system but just about pushing up the pitch a little bit farther, not sitting as deep as we were and making sure that our possession became much, much better than it was. We kept giving the ball back to City, we stopped doing that, we found a few spaces and grew in confidence a little bit and then we gave a stupid penalty away which would have spoilt the whole second-half performance apart from Joel making what was a wonderful save and then we go up the other end and score and then the game's on then. Manchester City may if we had played a few balls better from there they may have given us another opportunity because they were actually showing a bit of nerves at that stage because when you get Man City playing on the corner flag in the last five or 10 minutes you know that you must still be in with a chance.
