00:00I thought we started the game really really well in terms of the first and

00:10foremost we understood what was up against today a top top team team with

00:16huge quality and I thought we started the game really well I felt the goal took

00:20the wind out of us a little bit in terms of the set play goal and worked a lot

00:25this week on that but I think it took the edge off of us a little bit and in the

00:31second goal as well and at that point if I'm being honest you're probably

00:35thinking that let's just we need to try and get to halftime and just regroup a

00:39little bit halftime fixed a couple of things in terms of us and how we could

00:45maybe try and have an inroad in into them and I think more importantly was just

00:52generally involved in many games like this against a top side like this that

00:56game can run away from you for sure and I'm immensely proud of the team second

01:01half everything we asked and as that that's my riding factor is probably the

01:06second half and that's not me trying to be ultra positive around a situation

01:11that's the cold hard facts I thought we made a game of its second half while also

01:16having an understanding of the the level of opposition was playing against really

01:20it's so hard really to be to be quite honest with you know set plays you're

01:30you're you know when you look at them nine times out of ten that the ball is on

01:37the money the delivery and that's the one thing you want and nine times out of ten

01:40it is you're then looking at the stature and the physicality of of them as well so

01:45I don't think there was anything structurally wrong it's just there'll be

01:50many a man sitting in his chair against Arsenal which there has been this year

01:53that they produce a goal from it really so yeah it was disappointing but I also

01:59have an understanding of it

02:01yeah it was disappointing I think that's more disappointing really and I felt a

02:07couple of times today from our own set plays um they broke out of certain situations and

02:14that's certainly something we need to look at um because the second one is exactly that really

02:19in terms of lockdown positions um and not you know sometimes you you're most vulnerable when

02:26when you're in them areas and that was probably that was probably key for the second

02:29yeah definitely yeah and um I think it's also I think it's also evident if you don't have them

02:56players you probably don't score as many as what Arsenal are scoring and it's not just down to them

03:01too you've got a delivery taker that yeah every single time you ask it to be put back post and the

03:08runs will be there it goes back post you ask it to be put front post and the runs are there it gets

03:13put there you've then also got the other element of the time of the runs of physicality of of the runs

03:19um so there's yeah there's that and and they're extremely good at it and other than their natural

03:25talent of what they have and the willingness to go and attack the ball um sometimes it's difficult

03:31well it's very very difficult um and like I said there's there's many a team that have

03:52have had their struggles against them um so yeah that you're always trying to find ways to

03:59I think the large element today was trying to get some sort of control and have an improvement on

04:05when we've played top sides like Liverpool like Man United can we get a certain control here while

04:11also being a threat um but look they're just a very very good team and that you know they're they're

04:18a team that I believe that every single ingredient to go and win the league this year and in every facet of

04:23their game defensively attacking wires set plays um they're a top top team and we just fell a little

04:30bit short today okay guys thank you thank you guys
