I think he's probably going to go away for three or four days and we'll get him in Thursday morning and it'll do him the world of good.[LNB]"He's tired. The kid runs miles every game. He has unbelievable stats.[LNB]"He takes some beating most days. He runs long distances.[LNB]"He needs a few days now. He had two tough games with Wales and some tough games with us. [LNB]"He's such a nice lad. I walked off the plane and said, 'I bet you never dreamt of scoring a hat-trick at the San Siro'. What a thing for the rest of your life.[LNB]"He does run, he gallops up and down, he's got everything, really."
