00:00Okay, who wants to get us started?
00:03Dan?
00:04For such a long time, it felt like a complete performance.
00:09How and why?
00:11How and why?
00:13There's two key moments in the game
00:15that we don't take care of.
00:16We don't stay calm.
00:18Moik, I say that was magnificent.
00:20Play's been top for me.
00:21We make a poor decision.
00:23Actually, how the play gets there as well.
00:25We make a few poor decisions in terms of how we press in that moment,
00:28and we give away a penalty when, like genuinely,
00:31I can't remember Leeds having a shot or a moment in the game.
00:34Some of our football in possession, our press, our energy,
00:39was everything I wanted to see,
00:40and that makes it even more of a bitter pill to swallow
00:42that we haven't won the game.
00:44Simon?
00:45I think you've spoken more once about healthy people,
00:49how they react to the setbacks.
00:51It's clearly still an issue,
00:53because once that healthy went in,
00:55it seemed to change their belief in the second goal.
00:59I think it's within six minutes.
01:01So the penalty goes in,
01:02they hit a few long balls,
01:04their energy's up,
01:05they pick up a few second balls,
01:07and then the lad handballs it.
01:09He handballs it.
01:10It affects my players in that moment.
01:12They think it's a handball.
01:13We switch off.
01:14We don't clear the ball.
01:15They score.
01:16Then for 25 minutes after that,
01:17it was wave after wave of attack.
01:18We have to just make sure we take care of moments
01:20and be professional.
01:21I don't think it's about reacting to setbacks.
01:24You're always going to have a spell in the game
01:26where you're not on top.
01:27The ridiculous thing for us
01:29is that they've managed to score two goals
01:31in a five-minute period,
01:32when for the other 90 minutes of the game,
01:34we were by far the better team.
01:35Peter?
01:36Hi Liam.
01:37Gael Pedro scored again today.
01:39Yeah.
01:40I know the way the game changed
01:41makes the spotlight off him a little bit,
01:43but he seems to have really come to life since he's come in.
01:46What kind of things have you worked on with him
01:48watching his performance today?
01:50He's a top player.
01:51He always has been.
01:52I know how hard, speaking to the guys,
01:54the club work to bring him to the club
01:56because he's had that potential
01:58and he's now starting to show that.
02:00Some of the play,
02:02some of the movements and the patterns
02:04in the first half was everything I wanted to see
02:06in the team.
02:07And Zhao suits the way I want to play
02:09down to the ground.
02:10And even at the end,
02:11like his energy levels
02:12to create the chances for himself
02:14in the second half that he did.
02:15He was really unfortunate with the header.
02:17He's showing me an energy and intensity
02:19and a quality that is of a really, really high level.
02:22He seems to have strapped up quite a good partnership
02:24with Colt.
02:25Obviously Colt's been in and out this season
02:27but they seem very very influential.
02:29Is that something you want to see
02:30more of those two combining?
02:31Yeah.
02:32Well, it wasn't just those two.
02:34Enzo, Esteval, Andre and Moy in midfield.
02:37Malo Gustoz runs from the back line.
02:40Pedro Neto is combining with Malo
02:43in the second half and Moy.
02:44I want them all to connect and combine.
02:46That's the way that we,
02:47that's the way I want to play.
02:48First half,
02:49some of the moments were really enjoyable to watch.
02:53The first is so frustrating that I'm not speaking
02:55about that more because we should have three points
02:58in our pocket and be speaking about all the positives
03:00from that performance.
03:01Dom?
03:02Liam, I think you spoke a couple times in press conferences
03:05about wanting that perfect 90 minutes.
03:07I think that's your way of wording it.
03:09I mean, maybe all the more galling then given that after
03:1267 minutes you were not only 2-0 after actually playing
03:15probably some of the best football that you've played
03:17for a few weeks and then not to win the game.
03:19You must be feeling now that you can't quite believe that's happened.
03:24Anything can happen in football when you don't take care of key moments.
03:27That's why we watch the game.
03:29I hope people can see, sorry, my voice is...
03:32I hope people can see the progression already,
03:34considering we've, what is it, 10, 11 games in 30 days.
03:38There's a clear change.
03:39No disrespect to anything that's happened before.
03:42There's a change in the things I like to see.
03:45But what I really want to see is three points on the board every week.
03:48Sorry.
03:50Do you think that when it was going right today
03:52that Chelsea had more control than maybe they did at the beginning of the tenure
03:56and then before you took over?
03:58I think that's a natural.
03:59We've played some really good teams.
04:00Leeds are on a good run of form.
04:02They're a very good team.
04:03I think we nullified everything and we showed
04:05we could create chances with our possession,
04:07which is a really positive thing.
04:09It's just a real shame that because of six minutes
04:11where we didn't take care of two moments,
04:13I'm not talking about a really good team performance and a win.
04:16Sam.
04:17Yeah, like he's in the position 999 times out of a thousand.
04:25He scores.
04:26It was just that one in a thousand moment.
04:28I have to say the last 20 minutes was wave after wave of attack.
04:32The lads energy, considering the amount of games that we played, the belief they show.
04:36We create chance after chance.
04:37We just didn't quite go in, but we shouldn't be in that position.
04:40And we need at 2-0, the game should be done at home.
04:44And there are certain things I can show the players.
04:46So we make sure that that can't happen again.
04:48Jacob.
04:49Can I just quickly check on the correct?
04:51Yeah.
04:52Unfortunately at half-time he fell his hamstring.
04:54It wasn't a tactical change.
04:55It was one that was enforced.
04:57Cuckoo's been top and hopefully he'll be okay.
05:00We'll scan him and make sure we find out if he's available for the next game.
05:05Any question here?
05:06Yeah, I don't think it was a tactical or structural issue in this game.
05:26I just think we made poor decisions in key moments.
05:30And I never ever blame individuals.
05:33It's a team moment.
05:35I was frustrated after the second goal with a couple of things that I'll show the players
05:40of why the momentum of the game changed.
05:42That's a team thing.
05:43If we can just focus and concentrate for 90 minutes, this team has unbelievable potential,
05:50which you saw for probably 90% of the game today.
05:53I'm a month in.
05:55I feel like I already know what we need to work on to improve that,
05:58is making sure we get the time to do it.
06:00Okay, thanks guys.
06:03Thanks.
