Ole, is that one of those games where you almost need to clear your head to analyse it?
"It's football. Sometimes it's beyond tactics...cause the passion and drive of the supporters first half and the energy of their team compared to ours. Such a big difference. Then we get a goal and our energy comes back in and belief comes back in and the difference between this team and last year's team is huge cause."
In what way?
"At two nil down I'm thinking, my mind is going back to Everton. No doubt about the drive, the energy, the attitude of these boys. They never give in. Last year we would have been 3-4-5 down. This is such a big stride forward for them, coming back from 2-0 to 3-2 up and of course towards the end some things like that happen."
Why do you think you were so poor for over an hour?
"It's not something you can put your finger on here and now but they looked like they wanted it more than us, believed more in what they did than us. But sometimes it's little margins here and there but we never had a shot on target. Maybe had one first half, that's not acceptable. It's not good enough. But the response after they went 2-0 up was fantastic."
What was the catalyst for the change in your mind?
"When you're 2-0 down you've got to go for it, play with less fear, just express yourself and just make things happen. First time Dan probably got round them and put a good cross in, and what a finish by Brandon. And then Mason scores, so the average age of the goals today, they were less than 20. That's something we're proud of. It's great experience for Brandon, Mason, Marcus to come back, cause at a stadium like this it's never easy."
I don't know what it takes for people to realise that he's so far from being capable that it's tragic. I mean, I love him, but he's a terrible terrible manager.
