00:00Mikel, it was clearly an emotional end to the night at Modern U on Wednesday.
00:05I'm sure you've seen the headlines, Arsenal have blown it, Arsenal are bottling it.
00:09But from what you've seen with your players, how have they reacted since?
00:14And have you seen anything in the mentality since then and over the past couple of weeks
00:19that's concerned you or worried you at all?
00:23What I've seen is a tremendous reaction again and I'm not surprised at all.
00:28I mean when you lose points, I was in the last kick of the game again,
00:34in a very unpredictable manner I would say.
00:36Because to predict somebody with a 0.2 expected goal probably and one shot
00:41to concede an equaliser in the manner that we did it,
00:45nobody can really understand that.
00:47But this is football and that's the beauty of it.
00:50And that was a chapter.
00:52So we have a long season, chapter 27 says,
00:55OK, we draw against Wolves in this manner.
00:57What I'm very interested is about the next one.
01:01It's what we are made of.
01:02OK, what do we do about this?
01:03And how we write our own destiny from here and going forward?
01:07And that's it.
01:08And you have to react to that because life moves on,
01:11the result has to stay unfortunate as it was.
01:14There's nothing else we can do.
01:16What we can do is a lot.
01:17It's what's going to happen next.
01:18Talking about chapters, if you looked at the fans at the end of that game,
01:22they looked totally crestfallen like it may be the end for Arsenal,
01:27but clearly there's still a long way to go.
01:29What would your message be to those fans?
01:31Because the immediate reaction is tough, you know.
01:33You put so much, you look at the first half and actually what happened in the game,
01:37I was very posed much as well about the standards that we showed.
01:42It was much better than expected,
01:44but it's still not enough to the standards that were required.
01:49Very difficult to understand.
01:51So it is a shock in the system,
01:53but they've been incredibly good without.
01:55And yeah, we wanted to give them the victory.
01:57We couldn't and we have to move on.
