00:07I didn't think it was a great game from either side.
00:09I think the heat might have put a little bit,
00:12it was a warm day, probably the first of the year just about,
00:14but I didn't think we deserved to come away with no points in the game.
00:22Yeah, that would be about it really.
00:29Yeah, we didn't start the opening part of the second half particularly well,
00:34but we played much better probably the second part of the second half
00:37and got a goal back and maybe had another one.
00:40So we looked at that time as if we were a better team,
00:44but obviously West Ham getting the goal gave them a chance,
00:46something to defend, something to hold on to,
00:49and we got the goal back and I thought it was deserved at that time.
00:53How disappointing was it for the second week in a row
00:55to continue with $40 at this time?
00:58It's really disappointing.
00:59And just on talking about four games in the ball's golf,
01:03it looked like a penalty to the future.
01:05Do you have a penalty for him?
01:07Yeah, I do, yeah.
01:08I think it would be, it's still pretty harsh on Fernandes,
01:12but he certainly punches the ball out, he puts his arms around,
01:15and it's not as if the ball comes onto his hand,
01:19his arm goes towards the ball.
01:22And I think today's the first time I've heard the word accidental being used,
01:26which I don't think, I think that word had been taken out of the vocabulary really,
01:30because I don't think anybody's used that word in the whole season really,
01:33on handball situations.
01:36Any further questions?
01:37Can you just tell us how important Thomas Sugeck was to you
01:40in both of those games against you today?
01:43I do, yeah.
01:45He's great, does great.
01:46He's done brilliant for West Ham,
01:49and I think he's come in for a little bit maybe over certain times,
01:52but his worth has been enormous.
01:56Because of his goals, you know,
01:58the type of boy he is, everything about him.
02:01He epitomises a lot of things that you want as a coach,
02:04somebody who's willing to work hard,
02:06and does a lot of the unselfish jobs for the team.
02:10And he, as you see, heads the ball in both boxes quite regular.
02:14So, he's been a big player for West Ham.
02:19Andy?
02:19David, the goal of the first goal today,
02:22quite similar, probably similar zones to the Van Dijk one a week.
02:25Absolutely.
02:26How concerning is it for you that attacking,
02:28it's not something you're renewing?
02:30Very, very concerning.
02:32I mean, I think we were,
02:34I think we're probably the third best defensive record
02:36that set pieces or something before coming into today's game.
02:41But no, two goals were too similar for my liking.
02:46Do you think that in terms of both of those goals,
02:49it just shows the value of Beto and Bramford,
02:52both big physical presence,
02:53is it kind of an impact that set pieces?
02:55Well, I think what it is is it tells you,
02:57you know, if you're going to try and be successful
02:59in the Premier League,
03:00you're going to need physical stature in places.
03:03And sometimes, you know,
03:05you're having to play players because of that,
03:06needn't requiring that to be able to accommodate,
03:09not conceding goals,
03:10maybe helping you score goals.
03:12And let's be fair,
03:13today, Thomas Suchek might not be,
03:16you know,
03:16the first pick is a technical football player,
03:19but because he can score
03:20and because he can head it out the other box,
03:22it becomes really important in the team set up.
03:24So,
03:25that's why I try to get the balance right
03:27between that type of player
03:29and,
03:30you know,
03:31smaller,
03:32maybe more technical players.
03:34We are,
03:35we are just having a bit of a difficult time
03:36in the last two games with it.
03:38All right, folks.
03:40Can you see,
03:41you see your opportunity to stay up?
03:43Sorry?
03:44Do you think West Ham will play?
03:45I think West Ham have got momentum.
03:48And I think momentum in the Premier League
03:50is at this moment,
03:51the way the league's going,
03:53you need to sort of keep it going.
03:56I mean,
03:56today we've come in with a brilliant away record.
03:59So,
04:00we've not lost too many games away from home
04:01in the Premier League.
04:03And it didn't look like we would do that today.
04:05But,
04:07I think West Ham have got a wee bit of momentum going
04:10and don't need to keep that going.
04:13Thank you very much.
04:16Yeah.
04:17No.
04:18I don't think there was any birthday happening today,
04:20that's for sure.
04:21No.
04:22None.
04:23Okay, cheers.
04:24Cheers.
04:24Cheers.
