match rest tight
It is enjoyable, every match is big and that's the way you like them. It is getting very tight up there and it is going to be like that for the rest of the season.
bit easy games great home lift next people surprised team themselves tough
We've got to lift ourselves, we are at home for the next two games and we will go into them with confidence. They have been great and have surprised a lot of people - probably themselves a little bit too. It is going to be a tough game and they will not give any team an easy ride.
bring cup hopefully negative players positive problem regardless shocked stick striving together
I was shocked but I think the lads, regardless of what happens, always stick together. I don't feel there will be a problem with the manager. Even if there was, the players are always together and striving for the same goals, which is to bring the World Cup home. I don't think it will have any negative effect; hopefully it'll have a positive one.
bring cup goal lads manager morale negative players positive problem stick striving
I was shocked. But I don't think morale will suffer. The lads always stick together. I don't think there will be a problem with the manager and, even if there was, the players are striving for the same goal  to bring the World Cup home. I don't think it will have a negative effect. It will have a positive one.
