00:00On this occasion, I think it all goes out the window for this game.
00:09You know, I've learned that it's kind of just an individual game in a season's work that means so much.
00:14We delivered a very good performance last season.
00:16We're going to have to at home, that is.
00:18We're going to have to do that again, of course, against a very good side.
00:21And I think certainly our fans can play a part in that by getting behind the players again from the off and creating that atmosphere.
00:28It makes it difficult for teams to come and play here.
00:30I suppose, in a way, it's a healthy transition in the sense that he's a manager who said he's going to leave and then won't come in.
00:34It's not like it's been a disaster and then one comes in.
00:37So it's a slightly different scenario.
00:38But they're going well.
00:39I mean, that's quite obvious.
00:40No good outfit.
00:41We're going to have to be on top of our form.
00:42It's going to be special for everyone, for all the fans that are involved, for the players that are involved and as well for the managers.
00:51To be part of this game is already special.
00:53Then to be part of the last one on Goodison Park makes it probably even more special.
00:58But, yeah, it's only a nice experience if the result goes your way.
01:04So that is what we are focusing on most for this game.
01:10The result of the result sometimes happens, but it's not because I'm playing against them.
01:15So they make a step forward.
01:17I would say they finished unbelievably last season.
01:20Last ten games was maybe one of the best teams.
01:23They're starting results, but physicality is a huge part and the patterns that they have is really good.
01:30So aggressive.
01:30It's so difficult to make a build up.
01:34Yeah, and the quality is there.
01:36Before this Arsenal game, you guys were asking about the top four and now we return to this position.
01:44So nowadays it's like that.
01:46You have to manage expectation.
01:48And at the same time, when you have a bad result, you have to be calm and continue to do the job that we are doing.
01:56Nowadays, in one week, you have three games that can change the image of the team,
02:01the perception of the team and the team in the table.
02:05So in one week, you can change a lot.
02:08Very good players, very good manager.
02:11They play. It's very clear what they want, what they want to do on the ball and off the ball.
02:16And then what kind of problems they have.
02:19I don't know.
02:20You have to be there to understand what kind of problems.
02:25But they are a fantastic team and you see also the results.
02:28Two weeks ago, they beat City 4-0.
02:31So they are a very good team.
02:33A big challenge.
02:34Obviously, we experienced last year we lost five points against them.
02:38I was being very complimentary about them, about the coach and what they do.
02:45So, yeah, it's always a really tough place to go.
02:48Well, it's a little bit different the period that we are in and where we're coming from.
02:52But, you know, it's the demands of this league.
02:54You know, every game is so difficult at that time as well.
02:57We lost a few games.
02:58So it was even harder.
02:59So things to do much better than we did last year.
03:03That's for sure.
