He's very good with his back to the goal. He's tall and can head and flick ball, and is a great finisher.

He can't kick with his left foot, he can't tackle, he can't head the ball and he doesn't score many goals. Apart from that, he's all right.

We ran the ball well but their defence was too good,

The start was not what I was looking for in terms of energy. I think in the second half, some things started to sink in and we took our level up a couple of notches. Once we did that, it really made a difference in our play.

We brought in some very talented first-year defending players and a transfer. But it is going to take some time to get them organized. As for my expectations for the defense, I don't know. That'd be a better question to ask a month from now.

Our strategy was to obviously start with guys we felt we needed to start with. But we wanted to [substitute] as soon as we could get some guys some rest.
