There are challenges in front of you that you face all the time in football. You ride through and come out the other end. ”

Martin O'Neill let me go and he obviously felt that was the right thing at the time. But you go on and want to prove people wrong. ”

Every time you come out of the team I know you don't just disappear, you don't just become a bad player overnight. ”

We all know it's hard to have time to come in as a young player - maybe the club and the supporters give you seven, eight, nine games where you're rusty and not performing. It's difficult to do that. ”

When Chelsea came calling for me, it was an opportunity, it was a chance and looking from the outset you may not be sure how it's going to go. But it's one you can't turn down, you have to grab it with both hands. Then you have to work as hard as you can to make it work. ”

You're not a robot, you're not going to be nine out of 10 every game. But when things aren't going well, you work even harder and look for a reaction. ”

Work hard at your game and then you will progress. ”

Sometimes when you're at a club like Chelsea you feel sorry when you see a player move on, because naturally some progress and some don't. You don't hear about the ones that don't. ”
