00:00 for H&M, they'll come to you. Let's go to James.
00:02 How do you feel about the Sporting Awards?
00:05 Yeah, very disappointed. Obviously, I'm responsible for that.
00:08 We are out of the Cup and we wanted to play a very different game
00:12 and especially we wanted to compete in a game like this,
00:16 where we discussed for 48 hours in a very different way to what we've done.
00:20 Bringing on so many senior players, Xhaka, Martinelli, Ozil,
00:25 when it looked like the game was over,
00:26 was that to send a message to the team?
00:31 There's no messages to send.
00:32 Whatever messages we send, we send them with words.
00:34 We don't have to send them in a different way.
00:36 We have tried to put a team that we believe was the best to try to compete today
00:41 in the right way to start the game.
00:42 And yet the game took a direction, obviously, because of the first goal.
00:48 And we can discuss that.
00:50 But after that, we have to see much more from the team
00:54 to earn the right to win in a place like here.
00:57 Yes, sir?
00:57 [INAUDIBLE]
01:09 Sorry, sorry.
01:10 [INAUDIBLE]
01:15 I don't know.
01:16 First of all, I'm disappointed with myself,
01:17 because obviously I wanted the team to play in a very different way
01:20 and we haven't managed to do that.
01:21 And every time that you lose a game, the pain is there.
01:25 And we have to use this pain for Saturday.
01:27 That's for sure.
01:28 OK.
01:28 [INAUDIBLE]
01:44 No, it's a situation where the crowd can react in the way they do.
01:47 Every player tries to do their best and that's it.
01:50 [INAUDIBLE]
01:59 No, but it's good.
02:00 An injury in his knee and he's going to be out for weeks.
02:03 James?
02:04 [INAUDIBLE]
02:10 Yeah, for sure.
02:10 If there's a goal, there's no goal.
02:12 That's for sure.
02:12 I understand that for the referees it's difficult because of the angle
02:15 and the amount of people is there.
02:18 Obviously, it affects the game.
02:19 But again, I don't want to use that as an excuse.
02:22 We can still compete the ball much better than we did and be in better positions.
02:27 But obviously, that takes something in the game that is very important, which is momentum.
02:33 [INAUDIBLE]
02:42 What it shows you is that in football, what matters is the day.
02:45 What you did three days ago, it's irrelevant.
02:47 What is going to happen tomorrow is going to be the most important thing.
02:50 And again, we have to use this defeat, this pain, to prepare the best way to go to Newcastle and win.
02:56 Jordan?
02:57 [INAUDIBLE]
03:08 Obviously, there are different players that bring something different to the table.
03:11 But it's not about that.
03:12 It's about our simple things that we didn't do well at all today.
03:17 And some of them were competing.
03:18 Some were doing 50-50s.
03:19 But a lot of giveaways that we have in areas that we didn't allow us in any moment,
03:23 be a threat in the final set.
03:26 And that's something that we have to improve dramatically from today.
03:29 OK, last couple. Firstly, Simon.
03:30 [INAUDIBLE]
03:42 No, but as well, you have to be fair on the players.
03:44 And some players haven't had that many minutes to ask them to do it straight away in the first game,
03:48 in a different context, run by players that they haven't started.
03:52 It's not a fair assessment.
03:53 But that's something that is further from the assessment.
03:56 It's about doing certain things that have to be required to win a football match,
04:00 especially when you play away from home against West Ham.
04:03 And today, we haven't done them well enough.
04:05 And finally, we'll go to Gary.
04:07 [INAUDIBLE]
04:15 No, and it's not for me to judge that.
04:18 OK, guys, thank you.
04:20 Thank you.
