00:00It's where we're at in this world where we just think he's missed two chances so he's

00:04hopeless. No, he's not hopeless. All footballers at this level are very, very good footballers.

00:09He's just had a bad day. If you write a bad article, it doesn't mean you're hopeless.

00:14You go, well, actually I could have done better there but I'll write the next one now. In

00:18terms of his general play, I think the last two games have been really good for us. He's

00:22been taking on his players, been getting in the right areas. Yes, goals help. We've seen

00:27that with Brendan for those kind of positions but that doesn't mean he's not a good player.

00:31I get really annoyed when they put everything into that moment to say that, oh, he's not

00:36a good player. Of course he's a good player. He's a fantastic player. Scoring goals would

00:40help him, would help us, yes, but we'll persevere with him because I still think he's contributing

00:44to the team.
