Just how good are our team, actually? What was this efficiency tonight?' "And they'll be looking at their allies and also looking at where it made a mistake, so they've only acquired six or even seven days to butter up and also have to go once more. They have actually still obtained a chance in this particular time-- their time is actually not dead-- but they are actually going to have to participate in much better footy than they performed tonight."
