00:00Okay, who's starting?
00:19Eh, well, I'm disappointed with the goal we conceded.
00:24But overall, I thought they fought incredibly hard to try and get something in the game
00:30and challenged Arsenal for long periods.
00:36You couldn't put any words against the players that not worked hard enough,
00:40not committed, not determined.
00:41They were fantastic in all those aspects.
00:44Quality, you could maybe start asking that.
00:47You know, try to make more chances.
00:51All those things I could go with.
00:53But the other side of the football, they've done a great job.
01:02I'm not sure.
01:04Not sure.
01:07Yeah, I've watched it back.
01:09I think they said it was insignificant.
01:11Is that correct?
01:12Insufficient.
01:13Insufficient.
01:15Yeah.
01:16I think we've seen some given for...
01:18If you kick through somebody's foot or back,
01:20and it actually is on his Achilles.
01:22I think the action, there wasn't anything really happening.
01:25I think Saliba went and Tierno got his foot in front of him and kicked it away,
01:29and the boy kicked through.
01:30But I think you would all agree, it's probably been seen.
01:33It could have been given us a...
01:34For the VAR not to send them to the screen.
01:38So that must have meant that they didn't think it was enough,
01:42the ones in the studio.
01:44Thanks, I think it is as well.
01:56But we're a bit sore because we think we've lost a couple of games,
02:00and I think we've actually done well in the two games.
02:02So from that point of view, it's difficult to come in here
02:06and talk about, you know, we feel as if we're quite good,
02:09we're a bit disappointed that we've got that situation
02:11because I think we've...
02:13We could have maybe taken points from the games as well,
02:16but we're talking about Arsenal and Chelsea,
02:17and we're disappointed that we've not maybe picked up draws against them,
02:21at least.
02:22So...
02:23But that's it.
02:24Any further questions?
02:29Richard?
02:47We actually created quite a lot of chances against Chelsea last week.
02:49We couldn't take them.
02:50We had some big opportunities.
02:52I think Arsenal have got an incredible sort of XG for giving up chances.
02:59Very, very few it is.
03:00So we knew that was going to be a problem.
03:02We knew before the game, you know,
03:04how could we try and make more chances against them?
03:07We tried.
03:07We thought about it.
03:08We thought about ways to get it in the box more often
03:11to give ourselves opportunities to score.
03:16We probably didn't get as many as we'd like,
03:18but I've got to say,
03:19I thought we started the game better than Arsenal.
03:21I thought we started better than Arsenal,
03:23and I thought the penalty kick turned at them.
03:25They were much better than us in the sort of remaining,
03:27I don't know when the goal,
03:28the penalty was,
03:2920 minutes or 15 minutes.
03:31I thought we'd started really well.
03:34We gave away a stupid penalty kick,
03:37which, when you think about it,
03:39you know,
03:40we've pushed Arsenal close tonight,
03:42and we end up giving away a...
03:43If Arsenal scored a brilliant goal,
03:46which they had some great passing moves,
03:48Arsenal,
03:48if they scored one of them,
03:49you could have held your hand up and said,
03:51but it wasn't.
03:52It was a poor decision by us.
03:56Last one, Paddy, yeah.
03:57I thought Tim played really well.
04:05I thought Tim Irabuma played really well.
04:08He's up against probably the best midfield player in the world in some ways,
04:14and he done a really good job.
04:16He stuck to it.
04:17We want him to do a lot of other things.
04:18We want him to pass forward more.
04:20We want him to be a bit more creative in his play at times,
04:22but the other side of his game,
04:23we've done really well.
04:26By the way,
04:26I thought the players,
04:27it was not anything to do with it.
04:29They were fantastic in the way they went about the job,
04:33even more so in the second half
04:34when we had to chase it harder
04:35and try and find a way,
04:37but it meant we were opening up a little bit more,
04:40but we just couldn't get a scrappy goal
04:45or someone score a World Cup willy goal.
04:47We just could not get one of them.
04:49Yeah.
04:52Declan developed himself.
05:02It's not down to me.
05:03Declan was always going to be a great player,
05:05and I'm sure it was...
05:06Mikel's made him into a real, real top player,
05:11but he's a great boy more than anything.
05:16He's a terrific boy,
05:17and because of that,
05:19it'll give him a great chance.
05:20He's a great player as well,
05:20and lots of top attributes.
05:24Thanks, folks.
05:24Cheers.
05:25See you later.
05:26Cheers.
05:28Have we seen a minute?
