00:00We all know that taking points from your competitor and nobody knows in this early stage who
00:14is going to be your competitor or your biggest competitor, but I think we all know that Arsenal
00:22will be one of them and then dropping points against them or winning points against them
00:27that is always important.
00:30Yes, very good obviously and a really good moment and a great run and you can see the
00:35touch that he's given to a team that was already very strong but you can see his fingerprints
00:42on that team.
00:43It's a big match, we are excited about it, it's a big opportunity, we love this kind
00:46of matches at the Emirates.
00:48We know what our people are going to generate and the team is really looking forward to
00:53it.
00:54If you start to change your thoughts due to the results, the players will notice, they
00:59will know you are not a big believer and when that happens, sooner or later the results
01:04bad is coming, they are coming.
01:10Always they have a bad result, the rules will happen, how we struggle to win.
01:16Always they have a good momentum, so the games against Renfrew, against United, the first
01:21half an hour against Leicester, it starts really, really good.
01:25So they have good moments, they have the courage to play.
01:29I denied that game, ignored that game against Perth because we were down to 10 with a 1-0
01:38losing position and then the red card was overturned.
01:44So I totally ignored that game.
01:46You see this team is resilient, this team is determined, as you said, on Brentford in
01:53the two tough away games, now in Europe, Porto and today again.
01:58This team has character and this team showed fighting spirit and determination to win games.
02:04Players know the levels they need to hit and we have bounced back since then.
02:10Good challenge for us at the Palace, obviously they are going through a tough spot but still
02:14got some talent in that team and you get a feeling with Palace that once they do turn
02:20around they can go on a run like they did last year under Oliver, so it will be a good
02:26challenge for us.
02:27A couple of them have shown themselves more than capable but we have suddenly found ourselves
02:31in a better position, not only in the league but in the way we are going about things.
02:36People are getting fit, truly fit, Premier League fit as I talk about and I think that
02:41sharpness has come with certain performers and I think we have done well over the last
02:45four games, played better in some than others but found our way to get results.
