00:00 I was pleased. Clearly don't like losing football matches but I thought there were
00:08 lots of very good individual performances from players who've hardly
00:12 played for England. I thought our more regular players were very good.
00:20 With 15 minutes to go we're thinking well we've managed to see a lot of
00:25 new players. We've had more than our share of the game. We've had as many
00:31 attempts on goal as they have. So the difference in the end was one
00:37 moment really and that is the ruthlessness of football at this level.
00:42 I thought Anthony very good. Both sides of his game looked very accomplished.
00:49 Esri to come in at the moment he did and to deal with a player of that quality.
00:56 I thought he was also excellent. Showed real composure and he should be
01:01 really happy with his debut. We're really pleased with him.
01:05 Kobi was a chance to dip his toes. We've brought him with us and you
01:10 saw a couple of turns and a couple of really composed moments that is a bit
01:16 of an indication of what he might become.
