Thierry: 'It's about how much you want it'

He said after the game:

"We have answered some question marks about ourselves. People said we were dead and, in one sense, we were. You lose two games in four days and everyone is thinking you're not a good team any more. But we showed our mentality once again.

"We are exhausted but it's about how much you want it. We let the FA Cup go and the Champions League go, but the Premiership's about the work of a season and we didn't want to let that go too.

"When they went 1-0 up after five minutes, I'm sure a lot of people must have thought we were gone after losing against Manchester United and Chelsea. Then we came back but at 2-1 down, they must have thought we were more than gone. But this was about mentality and how much we wanted it.

Amen to that Thierry!
