00:00You began with two massive games, I'm sure you'll see every game is a big game.
00:04Given the fact that you're coming off your first defeat and given the situation at the top there
00:08with you and Bill at the points on qualification for the Champions League,
00:12is this the biggest test maybe since your first couple of games?
00:16I think it was always in the test, I think it's always about what's next,
00:20what you're going to react, whether you've won, whether you haven't won,
00:22whether you've drawn, what's going to be the reaction, what's the group,
00:25what's the emotions in it, how do we make the best of it,
00:28what's the motivation for the next game and driving that forward.
00:31So I understand with it being the first defeat, if you like, it feels a little bit different,
00:37but it's going to come at some point, I think you look through the league, it's a tough league,
00:43most teams, if not every team has suffered that in recent times,
00:46so it's putting things in perspective really and kind of putting it in shape
00:52where we know where we can improve, what we can do better,
00:54we're taking a lot of confidence as a group, what we show we can achieve and how we can play.
01:02It's been a really good week in many ways and I'm excited, it's an important game,
01:08there's no getting away from it, it's a fantastic game.
01:10We put ourselves in a position now where there's an awful lot to play for,
01:15so I'm really embracing the situation at the moment and looking forward to the next game.
01:19Thanks.
