00:00It's always a blow to lose a game of football, especially if it leads to going out of a competition.
00:05But it's the same selection I did tonight as I did last season in rounds like this.
00:11There are many reasons maybe why we've lost five out of six or six out of seven.
00:18None of them are good enough to accept losing so many.
00:22The last time I played a player that we thought was ready for their programme,
00:27but it turned out maybe that he wasn't, it was Alexander Rizak, where he went out with an injury.
00:32Last time we played Southampton, Giovanni Leoni went out with an injury in a game like this,
00:37and we got the red card for Hugo Ekitike after two yellows.
00:41I think at this moment of time we have only 15-16 players available,
00:45and I'm talking then about players of our squad available.
00:50To add to that that this club has always used this competition for their academy players as well,
01:00so for the non-starters and academy players, this felt to me as the right decision.
01:04And I haven't changed my opinion about that after the results,
01:08because with our starters we haven't been able to win a lot from Palace as well.
