January 6, Chelsea 0-1 Manchester City, Blues coach Porter accepted Sky
sports interview.
He said: "When you consider losing Sterling and Pulisic so early in the game, the lads really gave everything. It was a dynamic game against a top team, so
I’m proud of the players apart from the result. I have to admit it’s tough and I feel sorry for the boys. We have to stick together. It’s disappointing to lose these players but the players on the field and the players on the field
Giving everything, that’s all you can ask for."
"We put a lot of men on the attack and it gave us chances and then you had to trust their quality. In any chance to score you feel like you could have done a little bit better but you have to give Man City a lot of credit.
… We can’t complain about the injury list, we have to move on. The lads on the pitch gave everything and did what we asked of them and City didn’t give you too many chances."
"We had to update the squad, Louis Hall and Amari Hutchinson were young starters, Gallagher gave it his all and it was nice to have that personality on the bench. You always have to take responsibility.
, but you want people to see the whole context and see where we are and what situation we have to deal with while keeping the emotions high and you have to try to weather any storm and try to keep the level high. The fans are behind the team
, can see everything they do."
