Alan Curbishley Game Quotations

If we get a result on Saturday and pick something up from our game in hand against Newcastle, it can still change our season.

Now we have the cup game ahead to look forward to and keep our season going.

There is a long way to go but the players are confident and are passing the ball around and that was a big game for us today.

The situation we find ourselves in, this is a game we can't get beat in and have to win, and if we can do that, then it will give everybody a lift.

There was a chance of a real upset today and other teams have done it to us before. But we were determined and finished the game off.

Once again we ended up chasing the game - but their first goal infuriated me. Their second goal was a great run and finish - but from our point of view, you can't let players go past four defenders like that. The two goals we conceded were avoidable.

(Chelsea) is powerful, disciplined, well-organized and they have got so many match-winners. If you don't make a mistake like we did for the first goal, they have so much quality that can change a game on its head which is difficult for everybody else.
