He said:
"You know what to expect when you come here. We needed a lot of character today because we had a disappointment on Wednesday and that hurt. If we were not resilient and not determined we would have gone out today.
"With so many young players you are not sure how these boys will respond three days later. Do you feel sorry for yourself or do you stand up and say come on lets go forward?
"We always want to win and that showed in this performance."
He also defended Jens following the lunatic Allardyce's insinuations that he got Diouf sent off, saying:
"It was a sending off - Diouf plays every game on the edge. He is always like that. He hit Jens in the face. A few of their players played on the edge for nearly every ball. The atmosphere was not the best. We had to keep calm and we did that well."
