00:03The one that we cannot wait to play, if we could play today, I think we would all love to
00:08play today
00:08to get that feeling that we have in our tummies and use it in the right way and we'll have
00:14to show
00:14on Sunday. Well, I think it's happened seven times already to us this season, so we are getting used
00:19to it. Yeah, we have analysed everything that he's done in his career in different clubs, different
00:25formations, the players that they have available and from there, of course, we will have the capacity
00:31to adapt in relation to what the game requires, but the main focus as well is on what we have
00:36to do
00:37to win. It's Newcastle, it's only I'm concerned. I'm not concerned, we're concerned in the League Cup,
00:43the final against Arsenal when it's coming there, but it's now rest and after Leeds, it's always
00:49have been like that. You won't anticipate, as a journalist I understand, you won't anticipate what
00:53is going to happen. You know, it's going to be champion this team, now it's going to be champion
00:59this team, that doesn't count, it's Newcastle, that's all. So it's 12 games left, it's an eternity,
01:05so many things are going to happen. That is the only truth I have. This is such a strong league
01:10now,
01:10every team can beat everyone, that's why the league is so close in terms of points between so many teams.
01:17What we have to do is we have to focus on our own performance, we have to make sure that
01:21we prepare
01:21ourselves right, but the way I like to do it is to be consistent in our process, whether we're playing
01:28Wolves, whether we're playing Burnley tomorrow, whether we're playing Manchester City, Arsenal,
01:31our process is the same and that has to be, it has to be that way for you to be
01:35consistent in your
01:36performance. A little bit more difficult because we only have tonight to see if this manager changes
01:45personnel, changes tactics. The good thing is that there is still one game to be played before we
01:51played him and we of course know him because he worked last season in the Premier League as well.
01:56We are in a much better place now than we were months ago and there's a very simple reason for
02:00that, two more reasons but the most simple two are how fit we are now compared with three or four
02:06months ago and the second one is that we are much better in set pieces at the moment.
02:12David's teams are hard to play against, he's such a good manager and with the experience he's got and
02:20knowing what it takes to have success in this league. I know it's a new stadium but historically
02:25it's always been tough, it's always been the atmosphere and the support that they create,
02:29I think it's always been one of the toughest ones that I've played away from home so we're aware of
02:34that.
02:34I think Michael's come in and done a brilliant job, I really do. I think he's
02:40sort of freshened the players up by the looks of it and certainly freshened up the support
02:44as well in the way they're getting some victories. I think it's a big progress certainly on recent
02:49seasons and we've probably got to a points total a little bit quicker than maybe we have done in the
02:54past but we want to keep it going, we don't want to let it slip now, we want to keep
02:59going and we
03:00want to try and challenge for the positions higher up the league if we can.
