00:00What did you make about playing in your position, what were you pushing for at the end?
00:15Well, as I said, it's a difficult start, but we have to deal with that now,
00:25we have to improve that, and we go the next couple of games and also the whole second lap to improve that.
00:37In another view, it means that we are creating, we are scoring goals, and we are opening the score sometimes,
00:46which is good, but we need to manage and find a way to win those points,
00:53and kill those games because they are the games that we are going to need to achieve our target in the second lap.
01:00It's not one thing that's the problem, in some games it's maybe not taking chances,
01:05in other games it may be defensive mistakes, is it?
01:08Yeah, it's what happens in any single game, sometimes it's details,
01:13sometimes it's because the opponent finds a way to break through or to create those chances,
01:21but we need to create that kind of mentality, don't let them find a way to make us lose those kind of games,
01:35because we invest a lot, and today it was a really good game in terms of playing how we played, how we went to the other box,
01:44we create many chances, and unfortunately we are talking more about the stats,
01:51than how the play is devout today, how the play is called, so it's like that.
01:59Peter?
02:00Could you just clarify what's happened to Enzo Mureska?
02:03Yes, he didn't feel well in the last two days, he was with a bit of temperature two days ago,
02:12he's done the session in the last two sessions because he wanted to prepare well the team for this game,
02:19but after the game he went to the changing room and he asked me to replace him because he didn't feel well,
02:26and that's the only thing that I can tell you guys.
02:33Kieran?
02:34Hi Willy.
02:35The Palmer substitutions proved quite loudly, some fans singing don't know what you're doing,
02:40was there a reason for the sub and do you think fans should show more fear in the manager's decisions?
02:47Well, of course any supporter wants to have their best players on the pitch,
02:54and we want to have the best players on the pitch as well, but Cole is coming from a long injury,
03:02so in this case we need to also find the right substitutions to go for the game,
03:13and also to take care of the healthy of our players because we want to have it for the long period
03:20and for the rest of the season in every single game.
03:25Yep, in front.
03:26Mortis Caissano is now suspended for the Manchester City's trip, how frustrated are you with that suspension?
03:33Very frustrated because it was the first foul on the game, and it was close to us, close to the fourth,
03:41and we looked at the foul more than once, and it doesn't look yellow for me, but it's done now,
03:55so we're going to miss a very important player, but we need to from now on start to think who will be the player that replaced Moy,
04:08and of course it's a big loss, but same as when we miss Cole, when we miss Lyon, when we miss any player,
04:17because all of them are very important for us.
04:21Will you be in charge of the Manchester City game, or are you expecting Enzo to be back?
04:27I don't know, I just want to wish for the recovery of Enzo, and I believe in one, two days he will be okay.
04:38You're obviously very close with Enzo, how is he handling this difficult run?
04:49And secondly, January, nine games, four competitions, do you guys have to see this as an opportunity to turn it around?
04:57Yes, of course. First of all, he's dealing well because he's a very professional, he invests a lot of hours every single day,
05:08even though the last two days feeling bad he was there. And he loves to train, he loves to coach, so he's an example for me, for all of the staff.
05:25And yes, we got the same amount of numbers games in December, and we didn't do it as we expected,
05:36so we go now January to start the year, to start like it is starting the season for us, as a target to improve,
05:46and to start to find the points that can make us achieve our targets.
05:53Jacob?
05:55You've conceded four goals now from the long throws this season, which is the joint wire spin in the league,
06:01why do you think it's become such an issue this season?
06:04It's such an issue because now every single game and every other team's got not just one,
06:12sometimes two or three players that can deliver a very long throw. It means that all of the other teams invest a lot in long throws,
06:25and they create many set pieces about that, and they just give us information that we have to deal quickly,
06:37because we need to improve in any set pieces, and we are unlucky to have these four goals.
06:47Probably the day of the Brentford, it hurts a lot, because it was in the last second, and we could have two more points.
06:55But today, two in the same way, it hurts. It hurts. So we need to correct that, and we need to improve,
07:07because there are many things that happen there. Sometimes it's how they move, how they go for their first contact,
07:14but even though the second goal today was a deflection from our own players,
07:18so there are many details that sometimes are very difficult to deal in that scenario.
07:26OK, guys, we'll leave it there. Thank you.
07:30Happy New Year, guys.
