Not the result I was hoping for at all. I must admit after the Iran game on Saturday I honestly thaught we would be capable of securing a good result to take back to Riyadh with us. But the worse thing about this game was that a victory was seconds away. A last-gasp goal by the U.A.E was sickening but was coming.
We went behind before I good strong words at half-time and within ten minutes were 2-1 up. I had warned against being complacent and this is the result.
We didn;t play well in this game. We were really taken by surprise byt the speed of the U.A.E. This obivously is a worry to us as our defenders can be slow at times.
The FA are keen to point out that this result is not going down well with the fans back home. We have a month to prepare for the only qualifier in November against the North Koreans and this will be a test. We have a friendly against Japan before that qualifier which I intend to use to get the players ready for the type of style that the North Koreans may use.
