00:00Could you quite believe that scoreline? I mean, when you came here today, I would have imagined you hoped, maybe expected to win, but maybe not for net.
00:10Yeah, look, you don't. Yeah, you don't sort of come to a place like this thinking that it's, you know, it's going to be, you know, probably as convincing as it was for us in terms of just the way we handled.
00:24Look, I've said before, City test you in every football way possible. You know, you've got to do a bit of everything. You've got to, you know, you've got to defend, you've got to work hard, you've got to be disciplined and you've got to play football.
00:34And I thought all four areas, we really sort of, you know, got to a really, really strong level today where the players just really determined to make sure that, you know, after obviously a disappointing game last game that we just got back to sort of our core beliefs as a team.
00:52And credit to the lads, I thought they were outstanding today because we knew first 10 minutes they'd come out firing, obviously the four losses they'd had were away from home.
01:00So being at home, there'd be an energy in the stadium, we were going to have to sort of weather the storm, which I thought we did fairly well.
01:06And then we just grew into the game and, you know, just so pleased for the players in that, you know, the belief they have in trying to play the way we want to.
01:16And then you get a reward like that, I think it just, you know, furthers sort of our, hopefully our progression.
01:22Congratulations, Ange. On some of those, kind of, you've got young players in that squad as well and then that team, how kind of big is this for their development, those young players and what they did out there today?
01:32Yeah, I guess so.
01:34I mean, I, you know, I said during the week, I really think we've progressed as a team.
01:39I think we're a better team this year than we were last year, but we've had some real flat spots, to say the least, that have kind of not allowed us to progress, you know, in terms of, you know, where we are, in terms of our standing.
01:56And, but as I said, I think yesterday, I've never seen some of the players that have lost belief in what we're doing.
02:03And it's very easy to, because obviously there's a lot of noise when things don't go well.
02:07But, you know, they've just, you know, today was about sort of doubling down on our football principles and we did that.
02:13And it is significant because, obviously, they've got an unbelievable record here at home.
