00:00Yeah, totally gutted that we had done such a good job for long periods in the game and just narrowly
00:08missed out.
00:12No disappointment regarding performance-wise or how the players went about or their effort, nothing.
00:19We just missed out in the last few minutes.
00:22It seemed like the game was changed by a 16-year-old's advantage. Have you done that?
00:30I wasn't really looking at him, I was watching more on players, to be honest.
00:34You had a 16-year-old talent in the way you were in before. Have you done that?
00:39I don't know an awful lot about the boy, to be honest. I know plenty about Wayne. I could talk
00:44plenty about Wayne, but I don't know an awful lot about the boy at Arsenal.
00:48But he looks a talented boy, that's for sure.
00:52You played so well throughout, but the first half were the moments at the right end for you that it
00:57just didn't quite.
00:59It was the strangest half-timing.
01:03The block from Dwight McNeil from California is unbelievable.
01:06It tells you a little bit about maybe the way Arsenal are. They're fighting for it, they're defending their goal
01:11with their lives.
01:13Probably in the end, I think Rhea probably made more saves than John Pickford in the game.
01:17But the block from California was amazing.
01:22And then the one hits, and then you need things, the boy shoots and it hits the inside of the
01:26post and comes out when you're saying this is going in.
01:30So moments like that didn't quite go our way.
01:34We came, we gave them a good goal, but not enough.
01:36I don't imagine having visuals, but there was an opportunity to do so today, there were so many...
01:42Yeah, there was. I said to the players at half-time, I said, you know, this is okay, but it's
01:48not.
01:48If we're really, really going to, you know, get you boys talking about us and putting us as headliners,
01:54then we have to do, we're going to have to win and we're going to have to find a way
01:58of at least coming away from here with something today.
02:01In the end, we weren't able to do that.
02:04Sure?
02:05You weren't able to deny it or something, but what do you think is it about your players that you
02:08have to do so well for so long against a stronger position?
02:12Well, I thought we'd done brilliantly well against them at the Hill Dickinson.
02:15They lost their penalty kick.
02:17So we've played Arsenal twice now and it's been absolute and we should have had a penalty kick.
02:20It was confirmed as well.
02:26So I'm beginning to see the players in the big games doing well, but we've got to find that way
02:31of being clean with the finish or just get the little bit that makes a difference.
02:36We've won quite a lot of games away from home today.
02:39There was a period where we were saying, oh, this could be everything again here.
02:42Somewhere in this game this could happen.
02:45But it just went the other way.
02:47One of the reasons that you wanted some is that you had to make a couple of changes.
02:52Is there anything to talk about the absence of tapas at that point?
02:55Nothing to say about it.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Was it that it come late in the week and it was such a plan?
03:00Nothing to say about it.
03:04Any further questions?
03:07No?
03:08Okay, thanks.
03:09See you later.
03:10See you later.
03:12See you later.
03:13See you later.
