00:00 Can you use the experience that you have to win nine in a row, when you say every game is now a must win?
00:06 The experience is over, so it doesn't count if the count is Aston Villa. Before it was Arsenal, now it doesn't count, it's Aston Villa.
00:21 Aston Villa play for, you know, qualify for the Champions League and every team play for something, so the last games are always difficult to manage. It will be for all of us.
00:44 The reverse fixture between you and Aston Villa was obviously one where City really struggled. Is that the toughest game you've faced so far this season?
00:51 Yeah, the only team who deserve yes, yes, yes to lose the game.
00:55 It's building blocks but they're all going in the right direction and I just think that you've again got a very capable manager with a capable group of players and they are starting to see the dividends of that.
01:05 Excellent. The way they play, the consistency in every season, the teams have already trained and now on Villa it's impressive.
01:15 So, always have done really well, it's not a surprise. The quality of him and his management and the quality of the team.
01:22 You see players who are confident and happy playing for the football club and it's not to say that they were never happy playing for the football club, but you just see this on a week to week basis.
01:32 The shape is really clear what they do. They can be high pressing, they defend really well, the back four, back five, really structured line, exceptional keeper.
01:43 Yeah, that's why he is where they are, so fighting to be there.
01:48 I've heard some wonderful stories about him as well, about his videos and stuff like that, but if you can get the players to buy into what you're doing and by getting them the results,
01:57 they will try everything that you ask them to try, then you're on for a winner. I think you and I have got that at the moment.
02:04 I can't really see Top 4 changing. It would be nice if there is a challenge, but Villa are my old team, so I actually want them to finish third.
