Brian Noble Players Quotations

Paul's form of the last six weeks has been pretty impressive. He stood up there and played well in big high-pressure games. He's been playing, as the whole team have, with a barrel of a gun facing them for six weeks. We need to pick our form players and those who have played in the intense games.

We've got 24 or 25 very exciting players and some people still knocking on the door,

We could probably have seven or eight players that aren't in there for various reasons but we go with what we've got and what we've got is pretty good.

I'm disappointed for Keith that he's not playing in the final. I would have liked to see their best players out there.

It's difficult to say how they're going to fare on the field, but we have a lot of very good football players here. Until you see the product on the field, you don't know how they're going to react in a game situation, or how they're going to get along with each other.

You don't want your best players missing in an international tournament, but we've had to cope with that over the years and it's another one we've got to cope with this year.
