00:00When you look at the strength of their squad, the depth they are on the bench.

00:04My today bench I think walked into most championship teams.

00:07Such a strong side, but credit to them.

00:10After the sending off I thought it was a good game.

00:13It was a really good idea for the Champions football.

00:15We had really good control, got into decent areas.

00:17Joe Williams obviously had a decent effort at the bar.

00:20They had some really good moments on counter-attack, which you know they're so dangerous on transition.

00:24The whole game just completely changed because of a major error.

00:29It wasn't a red card, not a penalty.

00:31What was your feeling in this situation?

00:33For me, he's waiting for contact.

00:36There is contact, but the red has to be for no intention.

00:39I've been told to play the ball.

00:41I don't get how you cannot attempt to play the ball yet kick it.

00:45I think it is one of us.

00:47We flagged concerns earlier in the week around his performance level this season.

00:51He was doing our previous reds.

00:53He didn't correct anything.

00:55He's done that one tonight.
