00:00Afternoon, guys. Who wants to kick things off?
00:15How concerned are you about the run that you're now on in terms of your league position and that performance today?
00:22We are concerned of the situation that we are.
00:26I'm concerned and mainly understand that it requires a lot of improvement from ourselves.
00:33Of course I'm concerned.
00:36You were shaking your head at some stages in the first half, especially.
00:41We are talking about playing against Manchester City, to be fair,
00:45but it looked like your team didn't really know how to get out of the situation they were in,
00:50in those first 30 minutes especially.
00:52Yeah, we started really bad the game.
00:54We started really bad giving balls away, not applying the way we wanted to do.
00:59Of course everything becomes harder and we can sit so early in the game,
01:03the first action that City has.
01:05But like you say, you're right.
01:07The first period of the game was really hard.
01:10Much improvement on the second half, the way we came on the second half.
01:13A couple of situations that could eventually change the game and our performance.
01:22But yeah, we didn't start so well, no.
01:25What can you say to them?
01:26How did you change the mentality?
01:29How did you get a winning mentality in this team?
01:32By insisting, by believing and by working really hard on the training ground.
01:41Everybody has to be committed.
01:43That's the only way I know is to work harder and commit more.
01:49Thank you, sir.
01:50Hi Nuno.
01:51Hello.
01:52And then over to now, what is it that you've seen that gives you confidence
01:56that it can turn around and you can get out of the relegation zone?
01:59The way we work, the way we support each other.
02:04Eventually, and not eventually, the reality is that we've been punished.
02:09We had situations that the leads are going away from us, so many things.
02:16So it's not the right moment to do a proper balance,
02:19especially because we have such a busy period ahead of us
02:23that we really have to focus on.
02:26I just want to ask about Oliver Scarls as well.
02:28Obviously, he was up against Ryan Shirky for over an hour.
02:31Do you think that was a good learning experience for him, given how young he is?
02:35I'm worried about how he is now.
02:37I'm worried about his now.
02:39With the absence of Malik and Aaron,
02:42we're going to need either Holly and Kyle to step up and help us.
02:49You're obviously very disappointed with the first half,
02:56but there obviously was a lot of improvement in the second.
02:59What did you say at half-time?
03:01Because it did look like a significantly different team in the second half.
03:05Nothing very special. Just try to organise better.
03:08Try to apply the things that we wanted to do in terms of defensive organisation,
03:13the way we press, the way we try to cut the lines.
03:20Whatever I could to help the boys.
03:22Whatever I could.
03:24Everyone's happy. We'll call it there. Thank you guys.
