00:00Maybe you can explain to me which mistakes we make irregularly.
00:04Well, constantly turning the ball over in your own half,
00:07playing the ball out the back, getting mugged,
00:10chances coming the back of it,
00:12counter-attacks when you're outnumbered,
00:14giving up everyone's chances in your own stadium
00:17against the team's biggest rivals.
00:19It's a great spectre.
00:20We've seen that for so long now.
00:23Were you expecting that exchange to almost have had the effect that it's had?
00:27In short, yes, actually.
00:35Yeah, I think it did surprise him.
00:37I presume that was his attempt to shut me down
00:40and not embarrass me,
00:43but just to offer me a bait to which he probably didn't expect me to rise.

01:13I keep spotting subsequently.
01:15It's one of the easiest ways to play against Manchester United.
01:18A ten-a-half Manchester United is to let them have the ball in their own half
01:22because sooner rather than later they'll give it to you
01:26let them have the ball in their own half because they'll turn it over
01:29and that can't go on.
01:31That type of problem has got to be fixed.
01:34And it's when you see those problems reoccurring
01:37that you worry for a football team.

01:54I certainly hope that Eric's got much deeper
01:58and more important things to worry about
02:00over this international break
02:02than his relationship with us guys.
02:05He's got new signings to bed in
02:07he's got players coming back from injury
02:09and he's got a game away at Southampton
02:11that he bloody well needs to win.
