00:00 Especially after the result and performance against Crystal Palace last week, I did think
00:07 we put in the energy that we needed to put into this game. We created, I think, I could
00:14 be wrong, but more shots and chances than in any of the games we've played in the Premier
00:18 League so far this season. So the energy was there.
00:21 And even after conceding a goal, it's such an unfortunate goal, we carried on. But the
00:34 frustration is something that has to substitute, like I always say, it has to substitute into
00:40 something well, you know, the next game then. But what we can't drop is the energy levels
00:44 we had today.
00:45 It's the type of league that will punish you on these type of moments. It can be the reason
00:55 why you concede or it can be the reason why you don't score. That's just part of operating
01:00 at this level. You give yourself a little bit more of the right to talk about it when
01:07 you have a performance like today. But in the end, the disappointment is that you can't
01:13 capitalise on something that had so many positive elements.
01:17 So I want you to note how calm and rational I am about this. So in the context of this
01:25 game, you can allow or disallow this goal and have kind of a 50/50 divide on people
01:31 that say, "Well, yeah, well, in England, what have you got to do when the ball is to the
01:34 back stick? You've got to jump, right?" And he jumped earlier than his full-back. And
01:38 you've got another part that will say, "Yeah, probably, but he didn't make contact with
01:41 the ball." So 50/50. And then you follow the on-field decision.
01:45 But then if you zoom out a little bit and you put this goal against the goal we conceded
01:50 against Luton, because we're talking about impeding a player whilst you're not making
01:57 contact with the ball. That's exactly what happened in the Luton game in reverse. So
02:01 in that moment, you don't give a foul. In this moment, you do give a foul. And a key
02:05 deciding factor. And that side of it is difficult to handle this season.
02:12 Simple things as well. When you talk about consistency, the first yellow card of Dario
02:16 O'Shea, I don't actually have an issue with it because it's very clear in the rules that
02:20 this is a yellow card. But then when it happens five minutes later, right in front of the
02:25 dugout and nothing is done about it, then I'm kind of, "OK, do I add this to the pile
02:31 of so many decisions we struggle to understand?" And it keeps going on whether it's the fouls
02:38 and the soft yellow cards that was given against us against Aston Villa, who cost us a red
02:42 card. The soft penalty against Aston Villa. And you look at the yellow card offences today
02:46 and you look at the penalty on Odebere.
02:52 Right now, because you asked me about a goal-scoring moment, in the bigger context it's difficult
02:58 to accept. But in reality what I will do as soon as this press conference is finished
03:03 is not moan about this for one second and focus on what I can do with my players. We're
03:09 the ones who missed the chances, except for that one that we scored.
