00:00I'm very happy with the performance,
00:06individually and collectively, so dominant, we were a big threat,
00:11so very pleased with all of that, but the margin should have been much bigger,
00:18I mean, with the amount of situations, chances, open chances that we generated through the game,
00:22it should never be 2-1, but that's the Premier League, that's the step that we have to make,
00:26I think the first shot that they had, they scored the goal and then David has to make another save
00:30to maintain the result, so yeah, but what I like is that we're having a lot of issues,
00:35we're dealing with it in an incredible way, yesterday we lost Jurgen, today we lose Calafir in the warm-up,
00:40Declan has to play as a full-back and you see the performance that he put in,
00:44so that's the spirit and that's how much our players want it.
00:48That's the willingness to win, that we all want to win so badly,
00:52that is, ah, now I don't want to lose what I have, and we have to play,
00:56to continue to score and show that composure and that ability,
01:00and we should have scored the third one, I mean, we have two massive chances to put it 2-3-1,
01:04and then it will have been different, we haven't, so we have to suffer a little bit more.
01:08more.
