There was a lot going on in that game. We were enjoying it, I was enjoying it up until Fisky suffers the second yellow card. I thought we were exceptional. We started the game really well, we controlled the play, we gained control. In the second and third phase, I felt like a lot of our play was outstanding. You know you’re going to have to weather some moments against Everton but we really nullified them to very, very little while we were 11 players on the pitch.
And then the second half obviously becomes a little bit more difficult when that happens. I thought there were some funny decisions today from the officials, just in the sense of yellow cards which probably are yellow cards but they’re coming off the back of a free-kick that should have been given. That’s for both teams. I think their second goal is arguably not a free-kick as well. It can frustrate because we worked so hard for that.
But I think it’s a different type of performance from us in the second half and I think it epitomises everything that we’re about. We really want to improve, we want to get better, we’re very honest, we’re very brave in everything that we try to do. Thankfully, we’ve got the three points today. We’d have liked it to have been more comfortable but that’s what football is all about – it can really put you through the wringer.
