00:00I know how hard it is to create chances against a team that's with 11 players in their 18-yard box.

00:08It's, by the way, very good that they do this because they've almost got a point.

00:14So I'm not saying anything negative about them, I'm just trying to explain how difficult it is against a Premier League team.

00:20Because they are very good players as well.

00:23If they defend with all of them back, then they hardly try to bring the ball out from the back because the goalkeeper every time plays long.

00:29And we don't score from a set-piece, then the only thing you can score is from open play.

00:35Open play is quite difficult if you have to outplay 11 players in their own 18-yard box.

00:40That's what we saw today.

00:41So you come close, close, close, but every time there's a foot in between or whatever, no really open chances.

00:48So, yeah, a draw was probably what we expected throughout the game.

00:55But we tried also with the substitutions we made to bring all the players we have that can attack on the pitch.

01:03So I think we were six or seven in the end.

01:06I don't know if that has anything to do with us scoring the goal, but we created the penalty.

01:13And just before that with a big chance from Jeremy.

01:16So relief, yeah, lucky.

01:19So relief, yeah, lucky.

01:20So relief, yeah, lucky.
