00:00Frustration, disappointment about the way we played the game, I think they were the

00:12better team with 11, they defended really well with 10 men, 70 minutes, so I think we

00:23deserve to lose, we didn't play well, we didn't play with the right intensity and that's it.

00:42We talk about this a lot of times, I know which point we are in the moment, I have that feeling

00:53during this run, I will always talk about that, so we are not there, not even near the point

01:02that we should be to fight for the best positions in the league, we have a lot to do and we need

01:08to be perfect to win games, we were not perfect today.

01:23No, of course, when you have more players with different characteristics, especially

01:28with Cunha or Ben, you have more options to score goals, especially against low blocks where

01:35there is no space, but that is just an excuse, we have players on the pitch and we could lose

01:43the game, but with a different intensity, the understanding of the moment when the other

01:49teams fight each other and get the red card and I think we didn't understand the moments

01:56of the game during the 90 minutes and that is my fault, that I need to be better, to explain

02:04the players how to play in every situation of the game, again, I think they start the game

02:11with a different intensity and that was really hard for us.

02:18I think it is, I know, but it is also, when I say it is my responsibility to explain the

02:25game and today it was not one mistake of one individual, it was the team, the way we

02:29see the results of the weekend, we should get inside the pitch with a different excitement,

02:36that is, that is my feeling, that is my feeling, it doesn't matter if you are playing well,

02:43making good passes, but the feeling, and Old Trafford was there, saying, if we are all

02:49here to give a big step up to give a big step up, and I felt that we were not ready, again,

02:56these five weeks, everyone is praising our evolution, I think we are all here to give a big step up,

03:04and I felt that we were not ready, again, these five weeks, everyone is praising our evolution,

03:10I am always saying the same things, we are not even near what the moment we are supposed to be in this club.

03:27James, you seem most frustrated this season when there has been an opportunity there for the players to take,

03:33I think about Brentford, half-time at Forest, when you talked about there being an opportunity there for the players to go and take it,

03:38and then missing that opportunity, is that kind of the feeling that you have again tonight,

03:43that there will be an opportunity there, given the results this weekend as well?

03:47Also, that is one of the, that is also one of the reasons, but I feel afraid of returning,

03:56of this feeling of last season, that is my biggest concern, so we need to work together,

04:03we are going to work together, I am not going, the players are trying, but we need to be better,

04:08so we have training tomorrow and we are going to prepare the next one.

04:13Ruben, you have obviously been in charge a year now, and you talked a lot about the need to have that intensity in games all the time,

04:22is the reality that you just have some players who can't deliver that intensity for you every game,

04:29we need to find a way, so it's not, we can, I don't like to say we can, we can, we show, and then, like you said,

04:47is one game by week, it's not back to back games, so we need to be ready for this kind of games,

04:54and again, 20 minutes in the game, red card for the opponent, we need to win this game, no matter what, no matter the situation,

05:03so, it's a lot of frustration, but again, we need to, I have that feeling that we need to, we have a lot to do,

05:15and we have a lot to do, and we are going to do it.

05:17Last question for Larry.

05:19Given the way that the other player was set up, there was a sense of embarrassment,

05:22that the team that are literally fighting each other were able to come together and produce that performance,

05:27when it feels like you're sort of saying that your players didn't have that fight themselves in this game,

05:32since that moment, go for it.

05:34First of all, it was also 11 v 11, I felt since the first moments you can feel it,

05:42and then, fighting is not a bad thing, fighting doesn't mean that they don't like each other,

05:47fighting is that you lose the ball, I will fight you because we will suffer a goal, that was my feeling when I watched.

05:54I don't agree with that sent off, so I'm going to say that it was, we can fight with a teammate,

06:00I know it's a violent count that the referee explained, I don't agree with that,

06:06I hope my players, when they lose the ball, they fight each other,

06:10now they cannot do what is sent off, but that is a good feeling, not a bad feeling.

06:15Again, my players show in many games that we can do it.

06:21Today, we didn't, I need to help them, we are going to be better in the future, today we are really frustrated.
