00:00Why do you think you were quite passive in that first half, you couldn't match the intensity that Bournemouth brought to the game?

00:20There were some points, one thing was Harry Maguire had an issue first half

00:26and look for us he overcame and during the game he recovered from it and you

00:33see then the second half yeah he was up there and then he can express his

00:40leadership he can express his of course defending qualities and his rest on the

00:43ball and we needed that especially in this back four there we lose then some

00:49balls in areas we shouldn't lose them and I think for instance when you see

00:53the first goal the set-up was good but in that area you should never lose a

00:56ball but then it's still not the goal but then over the right side defending

01:03and we had some problems in the first half and in the halftime I think we

01:07repaired it and then we were second half Harry were better we repaired it on

01:12the right side and then we took more control of the game and in the end when

01:16we were we would have been more calm and composed I think even we could have had

01:22a win that first half yeah it's the truth they were better they created

01:28chances but the cool thing is we come twice we return from losing position so

01:34this team had a spirit is good the resilience is good so there is so they

01:38show some character

01:41before that Solanke was dropping in and we didn't anticipate good on that had

01:58something to do with organization and that is what I point to you need some

02:04coaching there then you stop at that source and then in the second phase it

02:09was too easy over the right side there was a big gap and clever to never get

02:17that ball there but if then we have to close it so yeah that's clear and

02:21obvious I think we are to repair it over the right side and we we didn't play

02:35well the spaces were there in possession and yeah we had to to bring

02:43us up there Kanatje was during the week also he wasn't training only yesterday

02:49yeah and we thought bring some energy and bring some more quality and so in

02:57quality in sense of cooperation and togetherness over that right side

03:06I'm very long in football they were very motivated and but as I explained but I

03:20have to repeat myself I don't do that and they were motivated but

03:24organization wasn't right and we lost balls where we should lose them and the

03:31pressure of the opponent but our place are better than this so this group play

03:48is always available you see our back four and that's just telling the story

03:53but we know our demand but that's telling absolutely the story and

03:59especially if then one of the players is struggling and then we couldn't

04:04change the sub-team as well and because we are run out of centre-halves

04:22yeah we we do we give all we can but I am also realistic and when so when the

04:28full squad was there I still would have say high belief but we will keep

04:39fighting also with the players who are available and you see there is high

04:44potential and but also young players yeah they make mistakes and if they have

04:50to perform every Premier League and they they proved they can compete with the

04:56best teams on the highest level they proved but now they have to do it

05:00consistently and that is always the next step for young players

05:08no no no I didn't say that

05:27what's changed because we we developed our attacking game and but in the

05:35attacking game we don't have problems with injuries how we have to play is

05:39available in our offensive part but in the defense yeah we have to catch up but

05:44there is not the players are not available
