Martin Jol Played Quotations

I feel we can still improve further. I don't think we've played to our potential, but you can't expect that yet. We have a lot of new faces and we are jelling together.

He would not have played as many games for Liverpool, Chelsea or Manchester United.

He has played at PSV for three years and was in the South Korea side which reached the semi-finals of the World Cup,

I think we punished ourselves. I can't remember a game in which we played so well and we're still 2-0 down. The first goal was lack of experience and then they had a break. It is a big disappointment because we had five chances before that. You cannot give away goals against top sides.

We played ever so well. We had the best 20 minutes of our season and had five or six big chances. They had a break, their second goal was a mistake by us, but we should still have scored two or three goals.

We played well in the first half but needed a second goal because we did not kill them off, and Robbie Keane got it.

When we played United away we were satisfied with a draw. Arsenal at home we played very well in the first half and had a draw. It was OK but we still didn't get the result.

It was the start of a little stress fracture but it wasn't yet. If we'd played him (at Arsenal last week) it would have been. Probably he can play in the last match.

The red card killed the game, it changed everything. I woke up this morning and thought we could really beat Chelsea and I thought we played fantastically for the first 25 minutes,

In the last home game Defoe and Keane played well.

Aaron's only just turned 18 but I've selected him in all our important games and he will be a big player in the future. I'm delighted with how we played but I really think the top four clubs in England will finish in the top four places: Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool. That's what I believe but, if we keep going like this, you never know.

In the second half we dropped off and they played well. We needed that second goal because they had two clear cut chances and in the end it could have been a draw.

Anthony is probably out for a couple of months. Hopefully it will be six or seven weeks but the doctor thinks it is quite a bad one. It's a bit sad because Anthony was doing so well and had played in all the games so far.

The first 20 minutes was the best we have played since I have been manager. We punished ourselves. I may exaggerate a bit but I can't remember a game where we have played so well yet found ourselves two-nil down.

It's a bit sad because Anthony was doing so well. He has looked fitter than ever and played all the games so far.
