00:00Yeah, it's frustration, it's angry, that's it.

00:13How can you get the team to maybe perform better, I suppose, and put that to better?

00:20It's working again and I'm trying to win the next one.

00:25River, the only second half your team has won this season was the one at Crystal Palace on Sunday

00:31where Palace are obviously tired of playing in Europe.

00:34Why do you think your team are having so many difficulties in the second half of games and winning games?

00:39Yeah, there are second halves that we lose control of the game today.

00:43I think it was not that case.

00:45Maybe after the first goal we lost some second balls

00:49and Matils won one or two second balls there and make a transition.

00:53We try to defend all the time far from the goal because we knew it.

00:57They tried to make a cross, win a corner like it happened.

01:01Long ball, they win a second ball against three guys of us in the defence.

01:07So we need to be better in the second half.

01:11Samuel, you made quite a change overall for them with defensive players who came on.

01:17I know it probably didn't have the impact that you wanted, but in hindsight,

01:21would you not be that conservative when you were 1-0 up?

01:25We are losing because of the second ball.

01:29Sometimes there's not more men in front that you are going to win the ball.

01:33We have more men to put in the offence.

01:37Who?

01:39Who would be more offence?

01:41I understand.

01:45Yes, it was the second ball and Matils was worried with Matils.

01:49I know that Bruno reached the box really well.

01:53Mason Mount is playing in this position.

01:55So I tried.

01:57They were trying to push us.

01:59Brian is having a lot of pace to try to win the ball in one transition.

02:03So that was my idea.

02:05You came in and said you were frustrated and angry.

02:09What were you frustrated and angry at?

02:11Because the team obviously has made progress this season,

02:15but over the last few weeks it seems to have gone backwards.

02:19The results are going backwards.

02:21We had some moments.

02:23Again, that can happen when one team you were talking about,

02:30when we had that run that the team was really perfect

02:33and the world is saying we are not far from being in the perfect moment.

02:38We are really inconsistent.

02:40But if you look at the goal, 83 minutes, we have a long ball.

02:46We have everything under control.

02:48We need to do better.

02:50James?

02:51Do you have that sort of sense with the team at the moment?

02:54Just that one goal is not going to be a no.

02:57You lead against Forest, but against Spurs.

02:59You lead to play.

03:00You're not willing to play.

03:01You always feel that they look back and struggle today.

03:06Yeah, I always have the feeling.

03:08I think everyone has the feeling that we need to score more goals.

03:12and nothing is sure.

03:14Even with Brighton, we were 3-0 and then suddenly.

03:18So we suffer with that.

03:19We are inconsistent.

03:21We need to improve.

03:23Robin and Jay.

03:24When you talk about second balls and joules and losing out,

03:28that's obviously not a tactical thing.

03:30Is it a desired thing?

03:31Is it a lack of energy?

03:32Is it a lack of energy?

03:33No.

03:34Second balls, sometimes it's tactical things.

03:35We try to adjust with the players that we put.

03:37And then we control.

03:38We have in the final minutes, we have the possession.

03:42the ball was far from the opponent.

03:44It was not a clear full press from the opponent.

03:48We cannot let a team that is so much taller than us

03:53to have a corner when the ball is in the goalkeeper.

03:56So these kind of details make the difference.

03:58And today, a corner in the second half made the difference.

04:02Is it your style to go into the changing room after this kind of goal?

04:14Do you leave the next day?

04:16No.

04:17In that regard, I'm almost always consistent.

04:23I had one, and you know, Brighton last year.

04:27So I will talk to them tomorrow.

04:30A little bit.

04:33Yeah, yeah.
