Danny can't kick. It seems bizarre. I'm not prepared to risk him. But, hopefully, he will be able to sit on the bench. |
He had the strength and the desire and the passion and all that sort of thing within his game. He also had authority. If he was running with the ball, there was no way that you would even think of taking it off him. |
I have a lot of faith in my players. They have to believe in themselves. We have to be the doers, not takers. |
I just smiled, and that made it absolutely definite. |
I underestimated the A- League when I put my squad together. I put my hand up for that one. |
I will also spend 10 days with the All Whites when they come in for the Malaysian matches. We will also look at players in Australia when the state leagues start next month. There are other players in Europe we have targeted. We are also keen to have a look in Asia. |
I won't even begin to discuss it as a football match because it wasn't. |
We let ourselves down in the opening 20 minutes. We didn't get balls forward quickly enough and they got on top of us. |
We made him a substantial offer. He was a Kiwi player we really wanted. I was a bit worried he was over-valued because of the leagues he's played in. Now he's gone to one of the most unstable clubs in the A-League. |
We probably dominated for 70 minutes out of 90 tonight. |
With a goalkeeper you can name a replacement for two weeks and just keep extending it from that point. |
