00:09Hi everyone, can you raise your hand, I will come to you.
00:11Alright, Stuart, you guys end your way, that would be great.
00:15Gary, damage done inside the 10 minutes today, what's your verdict on that one?
00:19I thought we were excellent, I was really proud of the group.
00:21Sorry, big set of stairs, I've just climbed there.
00:24Catch your breath.
00:25No, I thought we were excellent, really proud of the group.
00:29Two mistakes, obviously, in the first nine minutes, which made it very difficult.
00:35But to respond the way they did, to probably be the better side,
00:40probably edge it from that moment on, more shots, an unbelievable response.
00:46So, very pleased, disappointed, because obviously we're here for points
00:50and we don't take any, but pleased that the progress that we've made
00:54and that we were able to go toe-to-toe with such a talented side for so long.
00:59But, as we know, the level is ruthless and if you step out of the line a little bit,
01:04world-class player ducks behind you and scores.
01:08First goal really avoidable as well, so disappointed.
01:11But from there, you know, Manchester United away, we struggled to respond to adversity.
01:17Today, for that to be tested inside nine minutes and for them to come together
01:21and produce a performance like that, took some doing.
01:25So, yeah, pleased with them. Group's in a good spot.
01:27We're just really excited to get going again next week. Looking forward to it.
01:31Two brilliant assists for the goals, but you've touched upon it.
01:34How frustrated are you from your point of view, the way they go in?
01:37And I guess the goalkeeper's under the spotlight a little bit.
01:40Err, yeah, I suppose. I don't know about spotlight.
01:43When I said, yeah, I mean, the way it goes in, the first one,
01:48you don't expect that to go in, I guess.
01:51But, I mean, he's made some good saves for us as well
01:54and he was decent for us in build-up today.
01:56So, you know, people will make mistakes.
01:59I'm really clear on that with the group, that mistakes are no problem.
02:04Like, that's going to happen.
02:08It's how we behave as a group and how we perform
02:11and how we commit to things.
02:13Like, I can't control everything.
02:15Like, the game was exactly as we prepped.
02:18It looked exactly like the last two days in training.
02:22We had some unbelievable spells.
02:23Even on top of the fact that we had more shots,
02:26we arrived in a penalty area with Leaf
02:28and things we'd worked on so many times.
02:32But we will have to find a way to not let mistakes be the deciding factor, of course.
02:39But, let's be clear, you make mistakes against Izak and Wirtz
02:46and Barclay and Gakpo, then there's a fair chance they get punished.
02:50And we did.
02:51We did get punished.
02:52But, like I say, I asked the group to perform in a certain way.
02:56I asked them to commit to something and see basically 30,000 pounds still stood there at the end
03:02on their feet, applauding the players for what they've just given.
03:06It tells you enough, I think, about where they feel the group is at and what they gave today.
03:10So, no problem for me.
03:12We take no points.
03:13The performance and where we are as a group feels like a small win, to be honest.
03:18The response to going 2-0 down feels like a win.
03:22And, like I say, excited to the group, shows quality, shows resilience, shows togetherness.
03:27And we'll just get ready to go again next week and fully commit to what we're going to do.
03:31And hopefully next week it goes in our favour and we can put three points on the board.
03:35A full debut for you, World Cup winning midfielder.
03:38Excellent.
03:38Yeah, excellent.
03:41We were much better with the ball tonight.
03:43You don't see teams cut through an Andoni or Aola side like that very often, even top sides.
03:49We were able to get through the middle a lot.
03:53Sasha and him, good combinations, good understanding.
03:58So, yeah, pleased, pleased.
03:59I thought he was good.
04:00I obviously took him off just to protect him a little bit.
04:02He's not played too much.
04:04Subs, again, had a decent impact when they come on.
04:06We just lacked, we needed a moment, didn't we, you know, from a corner.
04:10I think it gets caught between Alisson's legs or something.
04:12We just needed a moment to give everyone a, like, OK, we're back, 2-1, we got a chance.
04:18But we kept huffing, kept huffing all the way till the end.
04:22So pleased.
04:23I thought it was a good performance.
04:24But I hate having to talk about good performances when you don't get points because you need to maximise them.
04:29To play well and to be in a game like that in the Premier League feels like you've just wasted
04:34one a little bit
04:35because we could have took something from that.
04:37So, but it is what it is.
04:38There'll be plenty of them.
04:39You know, it's a ruthless level.
04:41We get ready to go again.
04:42Two more games for international break and recover the group, make sure we're ready.
04:46OK.
04:47Cool.
04:52I don't know, I thought, yeah, there was a possible yellow card wasn't given as a foul, was it?
04:58But, yeah, there was a moment there that it could have gone another way and no complaints from me.
05:06Just maybe timekeeping.
05:09We've been pushed on time-wasting a lot and my goalie's being hurried up at Old Trafford to kick the
05:16ball
05:16when we're not even set and felt like they were able to kill the game much easier here.
05:22So that just upset me a bit.
05:25I felt like we could have, they could have been hurried up a little bit more.
05:29But no, I thought the officials did a good job.
05:33VAR arrived on a good conclusion for the penalty.
05:37And now the focus goes really on to let's tidy up the mistakes because, you know, they can kill you
05:44in Premier League seasons. But let's focus on the load of the positives.
05:48You know, that's a world-class team we've just faced with an abundance of talent.
05:54And I don't think you could tell too much between the two teams for long, long periods.
05:59So I'd have loved it to have been worth points for us. It isn't, but it is worth.
06:03What it does give us is more belief, more belief in the stadium. You can feel it.
06:07More belief inside the dressing room. They get a little bit of a break now.
06:11They'll have a down day tomorrow and then we'll get ourselves back in.
06:14And really looking forward to taking a group to Crystal Palace to see what we can do.
06:18Thank you, everyone.
06:19Cheers.
06:20Thanks.
06:21Have a good weekend, guys. See you later.
06:24Cheers, everyone.
06:27See you later.
06:27Cheers, everyone.
