ball gave good
We didn't play well enough in the first half, we gave the ball away too much and our last-third play wasn't good enough.
difficult today trained yesterday
He's had a difficult time, obviously, but he trained yesterday and will train today so he will be okay.
allowed closing earned games good job none runs second three threw tyler
Tyler did a really good job for us. He threw a scoreless inning in the first game. He allowed three runs but none were earned in the second game. He did a good job closing games out.
decision difficult meet name picked team time
This was not a decision we wanted to make. But every time I picked the team and Phil's name was not on the team sheet, it was very difficult for me. You couldn't meet a better professional.
fortune goal good nice second
I think the first goal was a nice one-two with good play from Ruud and Quinton Fortune but that second goal was superb.
celtic early goal helped looked
I think that early goal helped Celtic a lot. We looked all right at times, but we need to make some changes.
anyone easy gives happy keeping opportunity players squad
It gives me an opportunity to use all my squad. Keeping players happy is not easy and I think anyone with a big squad will tell you that.
cannot close collect fair points stay today
I think today was probably a fair result. We cannot do anything about Chelsea, all we can do is concentrate on our own results. We have to collect as many points as we can and try to stay as close as possible.
front half maybe men point suppose team
We maybe could have got a goal, but I suppose with 10 men and the other team entrenched in their own half still with one up front they went for the point and got it.
games good great next played season servant terrific
He has been a great servant and played some terrific games for us and I think next season he will get a good club.
great injuries mentally overcame past sure
He has had one or two injuries in the past but he overcame those and I am sure he will do so again. He is mentally strong, that's a great advantage.
anyone british difficult favorite football hope opinion players problems pulls rooting terms
He has had a lot of problems over the years. We are all rooting for him and hope he pulls through. Everyone has their own opinion about football and their favorite players but in terms of British players, you would find it difficult to think of anyone better.
three
He has got three fractures in his cheekbone and it will be plated,
listen people position
He is in a very influential position and I think people do listen to what he has got to say.
