00:00 [CLEARS THROAT]
00:03 Good day.
00:18 Sean, how do you feel about the result you got from the players?
00:21 Well, from a group of players giving maximum to the cause and the situation,
00:28 given the decisions that were made, then I was very pleased with that side of things.
00:32 First half, before we go on to the big talking points,
00:35 the one main one, first half I thought we quelled the game defensively
00:40 and did a good job with that.
00:41 We didn't create as much as we have done recently.
00:43 We definitely weren't as clean and fluid with the ball as we have been recently,
00:50 but they're a good side, we know that.
00:52 But we defended very well.
00:55 The sending off happens. I think the first one is touch and go,
00:58 the first yellow, the second yellow is yellow, that's the way it goes.
01:01 And then second half we changed the shape.
01:03 And I thought that worked well because we wanted to take the sting out of the game,
01:06 the heat, them kicking into the Kop end and all them things.
01:08 And I thought it worked really well.
01:10 They were really distant efforts and long distance efforts.
01:13 And then of course the penalty changes it.
01:15 And then it's difficult after that to try and then change the format
01:18 and the mental format to come out and play more aggressively
01:21 on the attacking side of the game.
01:23 The penalties, I don't like the modern rule of it, but I'm aware of it.
01:28 It hits your arm, that's it, it's a penalty.
01:30 I preferred it when it used to be you had to make a deliberate act.
01:32 I don't think it's a deliberate act, but I'm not crying it in.
01:34 They're the rules now. It's going to get given.
01:36 I must say, and I said I think in a few interviews,
01:40 I don't know about you, but I'm getting bored of all this running over to the TV.
01:43 Because we all know what's going to happen, don't we?
01:45 I don't know what the strike rate is, but it's probably like 99% chance
01:48 that the referee is going to give whatever he's been told in his ear.
01:50 So I'm like, I can't really see that.
01:51 They're talking about speed in the game, why not just get on with it?
01:53 You've got someone in an office with 47 views.
01:56 If it's a penalty, it's a penalty.
01:58 I don't really get that bit, but anyway, that's an aside.
02:00 That's for the greater good, I think, rather than today's game.
02:03 Can that take half a Beto?
02:07 I have no clue. I have no clue.
02:10 I've asked the referee, he said he didn't feel that it was a bookable offence
02:13 and he felt that straight away.
02:15 I don't know what it is then.
02:18 I'd like to think there's a lot of fair-minded people in football
02:20 and I think people who are here today would be stunned.
02:23 That's not a second yellow.
02:24 Oh, that manager, fair play to him.
02:26 He took him off as quick as he could.
02:28 He's realised he's got away with that.
02:30 I imagine he thought that, I don't know.
02:33 But he couldn't wait to get him off because he thought,
02:35 now he knows and we know.
02:37 The other thing is the fact that he said in close-minded reviews as well
02:39 that he felt that he was fortunate to get away with it.
02:41 No, that's fine. No, fair play.
02:43 Because we all, I mean, there's times it's difficult to be honest as a manager,
02:46 but I think there's an honest view.
02:48 It's easy to say when you win, of course,
02:50 but I don't want to bleat too much about the fact that we lost
02:52 because we did lose.
02:54 But I don't want to talk about referees, especially in games like this.
02:56 It's rare.
02:57 I can't remember the last time I spoke so openly about referees and decisions,
03:00 but that one's incredible to me.
03:03 And I got a yellow card.
03:05 I don't even know how I got a yellow card.
03:07 It was like a near impossibility.
03:08 I don't know what for.
03:10 For just literally gesticulating like everyone in the stadium was probably thinking,
03:13 "Well, Liverpool got away."
03:15 Well, now our fans are going crazy going, "What's going on here?"
03:18 And you get a yellow card for that.
03:19 I mean, that's just ridiculous.
03:22 Sorry to push you on this, but does it concern you when a referee turns to you
03:25 and says he didn't feel it was a second yellow card in that moment?
03:29 Well, I've seen the footage actually back,
03:31 and it literally within a second is going, "No chance. No chance."
03:36 And I'm thinking, "You haven't even given yourself thinking time."
03:38 Whereas, actually, Young, he stepped away,
03:39 give himself thinking time, decides it's a yellow.
03:42 So why did he do that with that?
03:44 Because if he gives himself 10 seconds, I bet you any minute he goes,
03:47 "It's got to be yellow. It's got to go off."
03:49 I mean, I'll be amazed if there's anyone out there who thinks that wasn't a yellow,
03:52 especially at the modern game, let's have it right.
03:54 You can touch someone on the shoulder and the legs buckle,
03:56 and you get a penalty or a yellow or whatever the moment is.
04:00 So that's just bizarre to me.
04:03 Inspecting that apology could be generalised as a crime.
04:06 I'm not really bothered by it.
04:07 It doesn't change the outcome, does it?
04:08 The outcome needs changing the second it happens.
04:10 This is why I must say I don't agree with the VR rules on these things like this.
04:14 I didn't agree with it early season, so I think I'm being consistent.
04:17 When Michael Keane scored a goal on the keeper, drops the ball.
04:21 I didn't agree with it then because the rule was it,
04:23 because he hasn't put it in the net or whatever the rule is.
04:26 He blows and he can't give it.
04:28 I don't agree with it.
04:29 I think that today is where VR should step in.
04:32 Right or wrong, just go, "Right. No. Yellow."
04:34 Just go, "Yellow, yellow, yellow."
04:37 Even if he's not giving it, because that's really what VR,
04:39 in a game like this of this magnitude,
04:41 I believe VR should be there to correct things like that today.
04:44 Just in terms of performance,
04:46 I take it you felt that it halts any kind of momentum because of the shift in derby players?
04:50 Yeah, I mean, they've worked, obviously, hard.
04:52 There's some details, of course.
04:53 There always is things we could do better.
04:56 But you want maximum output from your players,
04:59 and you want them to give everything to whatever cause it is.
05:01 Today it's a derby.
05:02 It's three points, but it's a derby.
05:04 And there was no lack of that.
05:05 There's a commitment to what that was.
05:07 A different kind today, more of a defensive commitment.
05:09 It's still important.
05:10 You go around the Premier League, you need different ways of operating.
05:13 Lately, I think we've been really good with the ball, creating chances.
05:16 Today, not so good.
05:17 But therefore, what gives you the base to build from?
05:19 Well, your defensive side, your defensive responsibility.
05:22 And I think we did that side of it well.
05:24 I said to Woney, actually, just before this,
05:26 I never said, "We get to half-time.
05:28 We can give them a bit of a jolt, a bit of a rally,"
05:30 because we were close, but not quite dealing with the ball as well as I'd like.
05:34 And then it changes, you know, sending off.
05:36 And then it changes.
05:37 And Dominic coming off, was that just managing...
05:39 Yeah, and physicality.
05:41 The two wiremen was more of a tactical thing as well.
05:44 Yeah, just trying to bring a freshness to it.
05:46 You know, because you're working hard up there on your own.
05:49 Julian, does it make the decision not to book Kanatou's second time
05:55 more of a battle than when Tarkowski was booked for a similar challenge?
06:00 Yeah, the one in the first half, which I was right.
06:03 And Timbercass was not booked for a similar challenge to Ashley Williams' first.
06:08 Yep, all of that.
06:10 I think Timbercass, it wasn't his first either.
06:13 But, I mean, you know what it's like, I end up getting in trouble.
06:17 I shouldn't get in trouble, because I think we should be allowed to speak freely
06:19 if they have an off-date, the officials.
06:21 I think we should be able to, but anyway, I would get in trouble,
06:23 so I'm not going to get too involved in it.
06:24 I think I'm trying to be fair about it
06:26 and just telling what everyone else probably thinks.
06:28 Because it's...
06:30 Anyway, look, wow, that's not a second yellow, it's nearly impossible,
06:33 I think, in the modern game.
06:35 Sean, Liverpool have that error in service for the VAR the other week.
06:41 Do you think that's played a part in you managing it?
06:44 I doubt it.
06:46 No, I think referees just referee whatever's going on in front of them.
06:51 But I just think it was a bad decision.
06:53 I think it was a lot today.
06:54 I think it was a lot of bad decisions today, to be honest.
06:56 Both ways.
06:57 But that's a key, vital decision in a game like this.
07:01 In every game, but certainly in a game like this.
07:03 That's a vital decision that's wrong, in my opinion.
07:06 Did that feel good, that you were drawn?
07:08 No, I think...
07:10 He's a Wally old fox, young he.
07:12 I think the first one he feels, because he's actually trying to pull out,
07:14 the lad throws his leg at him, but that happens.
07:16 We all know that happens.
07:17 No-one likes it, but it happens.
07:19 I don't think that's...
07:20 In a game like this, I think...
07:22 I know it sounds mad, because you should just stick to the consistency.
07:25 It's a derby and all that.
07:27 I think certain things, it's a bit more of a leave-out.
07:29 I'm not sure that needed to be a book-in, but it was.
07:31 The second one's a book-in.
07:32 That's it. End of story.
07:34 He's certainly wise enough to know that that second challenge,
07:36 he doesn't have to make that challenge.
07:38 That's the way it goes.
07:39 But there's no real blame on it.
07:40 He's a defender.
07:41 You've got to make challenges as you see fit.
07:43 He's certainly a very experienced defender.
07:45 He was actually excellent up until that point, I thought.
07:47 But like I said, I think that's a more pertinent point.
07:51 Some of the decisions that weren't book-ins,
07:53 sorry, that were book-ins, and then come out as he's not,
07:56 that's baffling.
07:58 [inaudible]
08:06 No, Garner's...
08:07 I know deep down, I think he's a central midfield player.
08:10 I know he can operate wide.
08:11 I know he can operate a full-back.
08:13 Wing-back even he's done for us.
08:14 But I think deep down, I believe he's a central midfield player.
08:17 [inaudible]
08:21 I'm pleased with a lot of the performances today.
08:23 But, you know, that's the positive side for what comes next.
08:26 And we keep building.
08:29 The decision to change the game from referee has affected the group.
08:33 And I said to them, I said, "Fantastic effort, lads."
08:35 You know, it's very difficult when it's that obvious, I think.
08:38 OK, folks.
08:40 Thanks, everyone.
08:41 Cheers, Shane.
