00:00I think it's always nice to score a goal, not only for him, also for Jeremy Frimpong,

00:05if you start your career at a new club. But it would have been even nicer to win a game of

00:15but he's also an example of a player that came, I think, one and a half, two weeks ago,

00:20in the end of our Asian tour. So for me, with only three or four days in between the Friday game,

00:34been with us with the Asian tour as well, so there's not a lot to replace him with. So if he gets an

00:40injury at this moment of time, that would be a big risk for the bottom of Newcastle and Arsenal game.

00:47So that's why I took him off. But he had a good game today, that's for sure.
