agreed bit freshness game imagination near terms wee
We're back in terms of freshness and imagination and touch. We were a wee bit nervy near the end when they scored but I think we all agreed the game should have been all over and done with.
bit define games good joe milan people played wee
He had a good wee spell. We have to define that. You need to look at the games themselves. People go on about the AC Milan game. He has played in different positions, all over the place, a bit like Joe Cole. We've got to make him a player.
excellent football goal group knew man second trophy wee won
Some of the football was excellent today, which the wee man would have liked. It is the first trophy I have won and the first as a new group so, hopefully, there will be more. When the second goal went away, I knew that was us on the way.

achieve against defending good half hearts opponents physically plan second teams trying within
I've never thought about it that much; I just try to have a plan of how to play the game. Within that plan you have to take teams that are good at defending physically and make them think. In the first half we didn't make Hearts think enough. We made them defend physically, which they handled. We made them think more in the second half. Again, you just can't play the one way all the time. If the team you play against can get in that mentality, then all they have to do is defend. If you can make opponents think, then defend physically, then think... that is what you are trying to achieve that with your team.
