We need to be putting more effort in lads, wanting the ball and closing their players down. It's like when you get up early and do lots of stuff during the day, you seem to still have loads of energy throughout the day even though you've been really busy, as opposed to if you get up late and do fu*k all, but you feel tired all the way through the day, even though you havent done anything.

If we really go at teams in the first 15 mins, chase everything, give plenty of options, our energy levels will stay higher and we will keep doing it throughout the whole game. Plus our minds will be sharper then as well, and it will be easier to control the ball, letting our natural skills take over.

It's like after you've scored a goal, you run back to the halfway line and you're raring to go again, even though you should be knackered.

We know we're a good bunch of players, certainly better than that lot yesterday, but we need to use the talent we've got.
