So, yeah, I’m pleased.”“Listen, I’d be lying if said I wasn’t nervous, you know what I mean?

But to be honest, I thought to myself as I ran on, I saw the back four and I thought I should be all right.”He added“You know, like they’re proper players. So I thought I wouldn’t be too busy.

So, listen, I hope he’s back fit.”“I hope Georgie is going to recover well. And, listen, I’ll just keep doing my role to the best I can.
