00:00We're disappointed with the level of the two performances we've had, so we've got to go
00:10and analyse that in depth and find some solutions to addressing the issues that we have. Over
00:20the next few days we'll spend a lot of time doing that. We know the level has to be higher,
00:28we know the level can be higher. Maybe the biggest thing is we have to accept the environment
00:35that we're in and the expectations that are around us and we're going to have to walk
00:41towards that challenge. At the moment we're falling a little bit short of that. Ultimately
00:46that's my responsibility, I'm the manager and I've got to guide this group in the best
00:52way possible. To achieve extraordinary things you have to go through some difficult moments.
01:01Today was a difficult moment without a doubt, towards the end of the game especially. But
01:07England have never won back-to-back qualification matches, I was told yesterday. There's a reason
01:14for that. We hoped to write a different story today, we haven't managed that. We understand
01:22what that will mean for the next few days but we have to stay calm inside the group
01:26and find good solutions to improving.
