00:00okay thanks for joining us if you'd like to ask a question please raise your hand

00:19we'll get around as many as possible who would like to get us started

00:30yeah i think we were in general we were not good enough when you are not good enough

00:43in the premier league we know that the consequence can be the bad one

00:47the second goal we concede i said i said already many times when you are not able to win it's

00:53important and you don't lose but even without i think we were you know it's not a transition

01:00because the transition when you are open or it's 1v1 it's just one long ball in behind we are 2v1

01:05with the two central defender and we we didn't defend properly and the first goal come from

01:14throwing but again it's difficult to deal because they bring six seven eight inside the box inside

01:20the six yard box so it's difficult but uh overall i think uh we were not good enough

01:36again it's it's it can be an easy situation because we are 2v1 the striker is facing uh his goal so it's

01:46with the back you know so it's it's an easy situation to defend but probably we we try to

01:52manage a little bit because it was 92 93 i don't know which minute it was but in that case for sure

01:57we have to do we have to do better they told me this morning that before today game we had excited

02:17the same points then last year after eight games i think dropping points today i think we are still in

02:24october we need to improve many things and see where we are in march april may and then decide

02:37at home or in general

02:42is that a concern and what would you put that down to is it game management is it something else

02:48uh it's uh it's uh it's it's always uh you know it's it's we are looking always for a reason why

02:54when something is not working well uh but again we try always to analyze analyze game by game i think

03:02the last defeat at home in the premier league was brighton uh again with red card that is much more

03:08difficult uh and today for sure we can we can we can avoid that but it's something that we probably

03:15we need to do better and you seem to struggle to create chances yeah yeah yeah absolutely again i

03:24think we were not good enough lack of creativity we didn't create uh a lot apart the goal probably

03:32and we struggle all also i think you know we we need to perform we need our player to perform 100

03:39percent and even with one nil we lost some duels we lost some second ball and against this team you

03:45need to you need to win that we'll go to simon

03:47yeah please is part of the frustration

03:54that the team played so well against the football in the last night

03:58obviously they played different ways but is there a conclusion that these players can play in that

04:03way they're all getting spent but against the team they expect to be they don't play like that

04:08for sure if you want to be there you need consistency uh something that uh winning four in a row and

04:20today probably you can show that but because we lost points uh we we we we didn't show that

04:28if we can have that level on this level probably uh it's something that uh we need probably it's

04:36better something in between you know it's consensus is always in the same way then like this but i

04:43think overall since we start uh we perform much better compared to to the game

04:52when it comes to creativity the team seems very early even in the first half to putting a lot of high

04:58crosses into the sundayment area which maybe isn't always your usual style of playing was that

05:04is that your game plan or did the players just maybe panic a little bit no no no no we when we arrive

05:11in certain area of the pitch uh we we cross because we expect to have four or five players inside the box

05:19today when we cross we had played inside the box but probably the quality of the cross was not

05:24uh the best one uh but uh i think we scored many goals from crossing for the last one we scored i

05:33think was uh benfica tomb you know the cross from pedro and ghana was second post and then was on

05:40goal but the goal came from there so probably today was more about the quality of the cross of the

05:45players that they were inside the box no i think uh joao is not training every day uh because

06:15he's managing a little bit himself from the injury a problem uh mo is exactly the same answer is

06:22exactly the same we have four or five players that unfortunately because of some problems they cannot

06:28work every day and they try to to do to make the effort to play you know then the game so joao in some

06:37games has been better today struggle a little bit but today i think overall all the players that they

06:42struggle today so it's not just uh just about joao okay

06:51growing
