00:00In the philosophy, very clear, very attacking, you have to be very good against Tottenham.
00:18If you want to control the game, then you need, again, a high performance level.
00:27And then we will create again, I'm sure, but take your chances.
00:32He's done a real tough job, he's done really well.
00:36He keeps mentioning he's won two trophies, and he has, so I don't think that's insignificant.
00:40Everyone keeps telling me that's all I have to do, but obviously it's not all you have
00:44to do.
00:45Because when you do that, then there's more, there's always more.
00:48So I think he's done a great job, and like I said, a difficult job.
00:53At Old Trafford, it's tough there.
00:57You look at their record, irrespective of the managers, it's still a fairly compelling
01:01record there.
01:02Newcastle is always Newcastle, so since a few years, Eddie was there, and the team is
01:10one of the most toughest, strongest opponents, especially, no, home in a way, but especially
01:15away for the atmosphere in this marvellous stadium.
01:19We are going ready to the battle.
01:24They have a lot of ability and obviously very well, and what he's done with previous teams,
01:27what he's trying to do.
01:28I watched three or four of the games this season, and they have a lot of threat.
01:34He's got the formula as well, because he beat us when he was at Forest as well, and it's
01:39a game that we're going to take very, very seriously, because he's going to be a very
01:42tough opponent.
01:43He's doing a fantastic job.
01:47I watched also some games from last year when he was in the other team in Germany, and you
01:54can see clearly the idea.
01:57I also think that when you join a club where the previous manager was playing more or less
02:04the same idea, that helps a lot.
02:06Arsenal away, Newcastle away, Villa away, Chelsea at home.
02:10So yeah, that's a more difficult schedule than we had, for example.
02:14So you always have to take this into account, and of course I had to watch a few games of
02:20them because we play them tomorrow, and I can see that even the games were very tight
02:25and they deserved more than they got a few times.
02:28So I think they will be fine during the season, hopefully not tomorrow, but they will be fine
02:34at the end of the season.
02:36There are some which you look at and go, all right, that would be considerably favourable
02:40to get a win from, of course, but we're at that stage at the minute.
02:44It's a tough start to find whatever way it is, whoever it's against, to find that way
02:48of winning, to find that way of keeping calm about the situation and delivering performances.
02:52And like I say, that has to be organisational, that freedom to stay with that kind of fine
02:57line of being loose enough to play, but focused enough to stay tight as a unit and make sure
03:01that you defend properly and do all the base.
