00:10Liam, what's the mood like in the dressing room, especially with Wesley?
00:16No, that wasn't on Wesley, that was on our performance.
00:21From the first goal, I felt we lacked incision when we had control.
00:26I want incision. I want us to create wave after wave of attack.
00:30We were too safe in our possession.
00:32And when you give a team, any team, one goal advantage, anything can happen.
00:38The red card happens, you're down to ten men.
00:40We knew their biggest threat with Ward Prowse on the pitch was set plays.
00:44We went as big as we possibly could because that was the only way they could score with ten men.
00:49We still don't see it out.
00:51I think the frustration is more the last two home games.
00:54From being in winning positions and being in control of the game,
00:57to not win the two games, that's the biggest frustration.
01:00It's not a blame on an individual.
01:06No, I've said this before, I've been asked this before.
01:08I will never ever speak about what's happened before me.
01:11What has happened with me is we have set fire to four points from two home games,
01:16which anyone watching the game, it's not good enough for a club of this level.
01:21It's not good enough for me to come and say we were the better team.
01:23We need to be the better team in every game.
01:25We need to win games of football.
01:26And I know what the answer is and we will address it in a week.
01:30There's an inquest after every game whether we win or lose.
01:34But I'm learning about the players.
01:35I'm learning about the people you can lean on when things aren't going your way
01:39and you need to see a game out.
01:41And that's something we need to address very quickly.
01:43Sam?
01:43Liam, you said to TV that certain people were assigned to jobs on the pitch
01:49and they weren't doing them.
01:50Was that about the goal?
01:52Was that about just the general play?
01:54No, I felt the general play.
01:55I felt the second half performance was actually miles better
01:58than the first half performance even though we were 1-0 up at half-time.
02:01Up until the red card, I felt it was wave after wave of attack.
02:04We didn't make the right decision for the moments that we created
02:08and we didn't finish off the game when we should have.
02:11And when you don't do that, you leave yourself open.
02:13But there's too many instances even, and I'll be honest, in my time here,
02:18Wolves away, Crystal Palace away, Leeds at home today
02:22where we've conceded goals from moments of lack of concentration,
02:27lack of accountability.
02:28And if we want to maximise the potential which I know is there,
02:32we have to address that very quickly.
02:34You've said a number of times this is a young squad,
02:37a young group of players.
02:39But following all the drop points, all the red cards,
02:42do you feel that there needs to be a little bit more cooler heads
02:45and addition to leadership?
02:48I think youth is one thing.
02:49Accountability is another.
02:51I'm accountable.
02:53I'm the head coach, I'm the manager of the team.
02:55I'm accountable for every result and every performance we have.
02:59We need to have players who you can rely on in the moment to do their job.
03:03Set plays are massive in the Premier League.
03:05They're so important.
03:06Our record this season defending set plays is not to the level
03:10which is required for us to achieve what we want to achieve,
03:13and that's something I need to address.
03:14Peter?
03:15Liam, is it a mindset there?
03:17I know you said you don't want to talk about what's happened before,
03:19but...
03:19No, I don't want to talk.
03:20It's not fair for me to talk about what's happened before,
03:22but it's my job.
03:23What you saw today?
03:24Yeah.
03:24I think there are certain values that you need to have in your team.
03:30The best teams, the teams that win titles,
03:33which is where we want to get to,
03:35they win games 1-0 when they probably haven't had the best performance.
03:37That should have been at least a 1-0 today.
03:40Even with 10 men for 25 minutes,
03:42that should have been a 1-0 at the least.
03:44I know what we need to get there.
03:46It's not down to youth.
03:47It's down to assessing the players
03:49and assessing the ones you can rely on in the difficult moments.
03:52Jack?
03:53Liam, you've spoken a couple of times there about
03:55working out the players you can lean on or rely on.
03:57Have you got enough of those?
03:58Yes.
03:58You have?
03:59Yeah, for sure.
04:00In terms of the sending off,
04:02you said before you'd never find a player.
04:04Do you think you'll need to change your approach?
04:06No, no, no.
04:07Where's this...
04:08No.
04:09Our discipline since I've come in,
04:10which is what, again, I will only speak on,
04:12it's been very good.
04:14It's been very good.
04:15That was an unfortunate red card for Wes.
04:17He stepped in on a challenge.
04:18I felt there was something that could have been dealt with better
04:21before that happened by the referee and went unnoticed.
04:24But you're going to get red cards.
04:26There's too many.
04:27There's too many for sure.
04:28But in my time with the group,
04:30I think our disciplinary record has been very good up to now.
04:33And on the mentality aspect,
04:35just when the corner was conceded,
04:37Andre put a tackle in to stop their attack
04:39and then celebrate that tackle conceding the corner.
04:42Is that the sort of thing you want to say?
04:42Yeah, I do.
04:43I like players who enjoy defending,
04:45but the reality is we didn't do the next part well enough.
04:49I felt the only way Burnley were going to score in that moment
04:54was from a war prowl set play.
04:57I've tried to go as big as possible.
04:58Reece was stretching and I wanted to make sure I protected him.
05:02Pedro Neto was stretching.
05:04I needed to protect him.
05:05We had enough on the pitch to deal with that moment.
05:07And we didn't.
05:08And it's cost us two more points.
05:10Dom?
05:11You just said in your broadcast interview
05:13that you feel like you're learning very quickly about the team.
05:16What did you learn today?
05:17Because it felt like you already knew about Chelsea's
05:20maybe propensity to switch off and lose concentration.
05:23You learned that against Leeds.
05:24So what that's new did you learn today?
05:27I've learned.
05:28And in our record in the Premier League
05:30is we've played six.
05:32We've won four.
05:32We've drawn two.
05:33I've learned.
05:34I've got a good team.
05:35But I learned for us to maximize the potential of this group
05:39which is very high.
05:41We need players who in key moments can see things through
05:45and make sure they make the right professional decisions.
05:47And are you able to give an update on James
05:49and maybe for the rest of ours as well?
05:51On Reece?
05:52Yeah.
05:52Yeah, Reece.
05:53It was just honestly, he's so important to us as the captain,
05:58as the world class player that he is.
05:59Any sign of fatigue with him, I want to get him off the pitch.
06:03I need him for Arsenal.
06:04He should be absolutely fine.
06:07And with Esteval we're doing our assessments and scans on him now.
06:09Sam?
06:10Brilliant.
06:11Just on that goal, you said a couple of times, you had tall players on the pitch.
06:16Yeah.
06:17You looked at it again.
06:18Did you see him come from nowhere?
06:20What was the thinking?
06:22An assignment was missed.
06:24An assignment, a marking assignment wasn't done.
06:26There was no, from our organisation, Fleming, we know, is their best header of the ball.
06:33And there was a player who I won't, I'm not here to throw players under the bus.
06:37I will always protect my players.
06:38I will deal with it in the week.
06:40There was a player we assigned that duty who marked the wrong player.
06:44Okay.
06:45Thanks, guys.
06:46We'll get back to ideas.
06:47How are you going to come to the meeting table?
06:48How are you going after these are set in the written
06:48Yes, please don't pay me, sir.
