00:00Great character and great personality and they proved it today as well, for sure.
00:05It's disappointing to go out of this game with being knocked out in the cup,
00:12but we were not ruthless enough and I think there was a difference,
00:16like Liverpool scored at the right moment,
00:19they scored out of nowhere with an unbelievable shot,
00:23and that's why they had their timing on their side today
00:27and we were not able to reply in the right moments.
00:37Ed?
00:38Hi, Jürgen, I was impressed with Roger Gruder today,
00:41do you think he showed what he can do?
00:45I think it was his first game, so we have to be patient with him.
00:48We see it in training that he's able to do great things,
00:52but of course he's still a very young player,
00:55he's coming from a different league, different culture,
00:58so the start was good, and now we try to improve him, try to help him,
01:04but I'm very pleased that he played 90 minutes today.
01:07Or almost 90 minutes.
01:09And just on total amity, he had a game of two halves,
01:12he was good at some points and made a couple of mistakes,
01:15is it difficult for players who come in who aren't starting regularly to come off the bench?
01:20For sure it's not that easy,
01:23if you don't have regular game time, but in the end they're all like professionals,
01:30they have to be there and use their chance when the chance is there,
01:35and today I think some of them showed a great impact.
01:39We had a lot of positive things, but of course also negative things,
01:43otherwise you wouldn't lose a match and we have to analyse it,
01:47we have to give them feedback and then we try to keep going.
01:54Andy?
01:55That was Mats' first 90 minutes since he opened that seat,
02:00what did he make of that?
02:04I think he showed a great reaction to his mistake on Saturday,
02:10I think that's not easy, to come back like this, to show this character,
02:17to show this personality after a bad mistake,
02:20after not being the best player against Wolverhampton,
02:28and then it's great to show a reaction like this.
02:31He was asking for the ball, he was not hiding, he made mistakes for sure,
02:35but afterwards he was still asking for the ball,
02:37and that shows that he's a great character and he keeps on going,
02:40and I'm sure he will help us this season.
02:44Had he opened it?
02:46Yeah, it was a hit on the foot, so we have to wait for his reaction tomorrow
02:52and then we can say more.
