Super Rob Praises Young Guns

Bobby has praised our young Guns for their performance last night. Especially after such a tricky start to the season...

"Tonight we proved to everyone, and above all the English press, that although we might be struggling in the Premiership at the moment, we still remain a big team, the victory did us a lot of good."

"We knew it was important to come here, avoid the trap and get a win," Bobby continued. "We had to grind down their game because they're a young team who keep the ball well and have a excellent style of play. In this respect it wasn't easy to come here and get a positive result."

We still have things to improve, the team is young but what you must remember is that this is where the future lies,"

"It's a question of patience. And today we were playing without Thierry who is, of course, an important player for us. He's our striker, our captain and the guy who scores the goals."

"We're trying to cope with the weapons that we have, and we do have some very good weapons. At the moment, we're in the process of showing two sides of our game - one for the championship and one for the Champions League."

When asked about our dodgy form in the Premiership of late, Super Rob had this to say;

"It's still a question of patience,"

"It's a very difficult situation to handle, especially when you have a team like Chelsea who are in front and who are winning game after game. The rhythm is hard to follow.

"We're in a period of transition with the departure of Patrick Vieira, which hurt us, but you must have faith in the young players. They have enormous quality and they are showing that.

"Tonight was the proof - we came here to Amsterdam and took the three points, which is not easy thing to do."
