00:00 Good to go.
00:09 Peter, you going to lead us off?
00:13 Good evening, Vincent.
00:15 How was that for you?
00:17 Never great, when you lose, when your team loses.
00:22 We play against a great side, we know that.
00:25 It felt like a lot had to go our way for us to get something in this game,
00:31 in moments we were dangerous.
00:34 The goals we conceded probably we could avoid,
00:38 but we play against a top side,
00:40 and for us now we have to move on and go to Fulham, that's the focus now.
00:45 How disappointed were you with the goals, especially the third one just after half-time?
00:50 Yeah, well, the second one and the first one.
00:53 But, look, my job is to give the guys support in these moments
01:01 and of course to hold them accountable.
01:04 But we play against a team that will exploit every single mistake, every weakness.
01:10 I can't tell my defender to run faster.
01:13 There's a moment that happens on the first goal that is individual quality of the opponent,
01:20 and you have to recognise that, of course you have to mark in the box
01:23 and of course you have to be alive on set plays and everything else.
01:27 But going into Fulham it's still the same feeling,
01:31 that in every game we're showing bits that should make us confident
01:35 for the rest of the season and we'll go, every single game we'll go.
01:39 Is it just that feeling that you just have to keep going and try to grind results?
01:43 Yeah, but I said it before, it's still the same DNA of the team that had 101 points last year.
01:49 Absolutely willing to go all the time.
01:52 We have our good moments last year when we won everything,
01:56 a little bit like some of the teams experiencing in the Premier League at the top.
02:00 We learned a lot about how we need to behave in moments like this
02:04 and we'll definitely keep going.
02:06 I know you're waiting for Pep, so we'll get a move on.
02:09 Matt and then Simon.
02:11 A debut for Flaenaar, and he did well, didn't he, for the goal at the end?
02:15 Yeah, I thought all the plays that came on did well for us.
02:20 I think that's what you need in these moments, a little bit of an individual action
02:24 that creates some space and then being in the right place.
02:28 Obviously David did that in that one moment.
02:32 It just helps the squad.
02:35 We relied a lot on some of our plays that have been really important,
02:39 but we need as well these guys to come and have an impact.
02:42 Today he had a very positive start.
02:45 Manuel Benson not in the squad today, I think we didn't hear that.
02:49 No, there was a little bit of rumours of him going away on loan.
02:54 Of course it's normal that he wants to play.
02:57 Tomorrow we'll see how it resolves itself,
03:00 and if he's there with us then everything goes back to normal.
03:03 Simon.
03:06 What does tomorrow look like for you?
03:09 Is it a game-changer potentially for you,
03:13 or is it just part of the process in the way that today was?
03:17 You're talking about the transfer window...
03:21 No, I was really.
03:23 You're playing matches, but is deadline day as important as a game?
03:27 It is important, and I don't know, unless we've made any announcements tonight
03:34 I hope something will happen tomorrow as well.
03:37 But look, we're at the stage of the season as well
03:40 where we have to rely a little bit on the boys that we have as well.
03:43 In January you can make some miracle transfers,
03:46 but they're very difficult to find.
03:49 It was a tough game today, but what do you want to say?
03:55 I just have in mind how we presented ourselves Villa away,
04:00 how we presented ourselves Spurs away,
04:02 how we presented ourselves against Liverpool, Arsenal away, Brighton away.
04:06 I don't have any reason not to believe in this team,
04:09 and if you ask me about game-changers,
04:11 I think the biggest game-changer for us is seizing our moments.
04:15 Seizing our moments, we've had so many against top teams.
04:19 And then the rest, keep believing, always.
04:22 Happy, everyone. Thank you as always.
04:25 See you tomorrow for the presser at 1.30.
04:28 Thanks, guys. Thanks, girls.
