across ball chances cheating coming continue early foot game goal good half hard jeff obviously push ryan second thinking tony tough turned until worked wrong
Not good goals, obviously a ball turned over early in the first half and Ryan Pore was able to get Jeff on the wrong foot and Tony was cheating a little bit, thinking that the ball was coming across and he got caught. We worked hard to get back to 1-1. Now to continue that push and keep the game even until we get chances to win. Again, early in the second half, it was a tough goal to give up.
finish goal match paid played pushed second took
After we took the lead, we had stretches where we played very well. We pushed to get a second goal to try to finish the match and we didn't and we paid the price.
coming eventually everybody game games good half hard job learn level looked picked pushing response second sure turn work wrong
We looked hard at some of the things that we did wrong at the end of the game yet we made sure everybody understands that it is that kind of hard work that will eventually turn those games into wins. There were a lot of good signs. I really thought the response coming out of the second half was excellent. We picked up the level of play. We did a good job of pushing to get the second goal. We'll learn from those mistakes.
coming confidence early gain good ready rest secondly team worked year
The early part of the season, you want to get off to a good start, you want to feel like little things you worked on are coming together, you want to gain some confidence and use that as a springboard for the rest of the year and be ready at the end of the year to, first be in the playoffs, and secondly be a team that can win.

We've very lucky that John is a complete player. He can play an attacking role in the midfield and he can play more of a defensive role.

We've tried to create a good understanding of how to play as a unit based upon the team we're playing against. We always try to build around the strengths of the players.
cruel game happen mean mentioned obvious players progress remind today true united
We're a different team. We are making progress. That doesn't mean it's always going to happen all at once. The game can be cruel sometimes. I still remind the players that that's true on all levels. I mentioned Bayern Munich-Manchester United to them today because that is one of the most obvious examples.
buy cars christmas gifts gone living people standard
Our people's standard of living has gone way up. People have been able to buy washers and dryers and cars. They've put new roofs on their homes. We've been able to buy more Christmas gifts than ever before.
care center expecting field guys helping inside players understanding wide
Our wide players have to (have) a better understanding of when they're out wide, when they're helping inside ... especially on a wide field. They can't be standing out by the touchlines and now expecting that one or two guys in the center of the field are going to take care of everything.
last maybe plain position process start training win
Plain and simple, when you start a season, you start with the idea that you want to win a championship. How you get there is another thing. When we start training today, it's not with the idea of 'Oh, maybe we can do a little better than last year.' No, no. It's the idea that this is the first day of a process that can put us in position to win a championship.
against balance bit breaks calls change focus game games gets gone hope last looking team
Looking back on calls never gets a team anywhere. The game is still like that and you have to focus on how you improve. You hope the breaks balance out over the season. Things have gone against us a little bit the last two games but it doesn't change what we want to do.
experience good help picked question reason ryan
I think Ryan has experience, he's a good competitor. The question is can his experience and competitiveness help us as we go down the stretch? That's the reason why we picked him up.
