More 'speerit' is what we need - why didn't I think of that?

"It was a game we were quite in control of at 1-0 up. I think we allowed them back into the game with challenges in the middle of the park that you can't afford to lose and we were a bit on the backfoot after that.

"It was unfortunate to lose a game like that, we produced quite a decent performance for 75 minutes but you have to last 90 minutes.

"Did the game on Tuesday play a part in our mind? I don't think so, I hope not, and you have to give Swansea credit.

"They didn't give up and the free-kick gave them the momentum at the end, we have to take it on the chin because we didn't play for 90 minutes."

"Look at the season and Chelsea are on course for 105 points. Look at the number of points they have today and if they keep that up nobody will touch them, that's for sure.

"It doesn't look like anybody is capable of challenging them at the moment.

"There's no obvious reason but they have had a good start and as long as you don't lose you don't question yourself. Maybe a little bit more extra spirit in the team helps them when it gets tight."
