00:00By appropriate, I mean, you can't just dismiss what happened in the first half and just focus
00:05on the second half. It'd be different if it was a really poor performance all round, then
00:10you've kind of, not an easier, but the analysis can be fairly straightforward, but the question
00:18is why we were so good in the first half and so poor in the second half. And the second
00:22half was more around that it just didn't look anything like ourselves. We were really passive
00:28with and without the ball. We lacked real conviction and courage in everything we did.
00:34It's almost like we felt like we'd done enough. I hadn't seen that before in us and it's a
00:39good lesson for the whole group that you need to make sure that irrespective of how a game
00:46is going, that you kind of stick to the core principles of your football. It's a timely
00:54reminder for us that particularly in a game of football when you haven't put, and really
00:59in the first half we should have finished the game off, that when you don't, it's very
01:04easy for momentum to shift.
