00:06How do you sense that you're down and how damaging it will be?
00:14Damaging, because we needed either a win or maybe two draws would have been enough as well.
00:23But now we know one thing for sure, that we need a win next week.
00:28If we have to do it ourselves, as we all know, other teams of course need to pick up points
00:33as well for us to need a win.
00:38So that's really damaging that we were not able to get a result, let alone a win, here today.
00:48There were parts in the game where I felt results could have gone our way.
00:52But I think what people are mainly focused on is the period after the 2-1,
01:00where we couldn't find any momentum anymore and we conceded two other goals.
01:06That was the most difficult period in the game.
01:19It's frustrating because as a manager you're also responsible for if things happen time and time again,
01:25you are hired to try to prevent that for the next time and for us to concede.
01:32We scored two set pieces over here, so usually you think if you go to an away game or any
01:38game where you scored two set pieces,
01:42usually you're quite sure of a result.
01:46Unless you concede three set pieces, what we did.
01:49So against United, against Chelsea in this game, again, we have a negative balance in set pieces.
01:54And that makes it really hard if you play against equal teams, which United, Chelsea and Villa are, to win
02:00a game of football.
02:02And again, that was shown today.
02:04And the manner, of course, in which we conceded the 2-1.
02:09I think we thought we've seen a lot this season, this one we hadn't.
02:14But of course, Dominic has had a very good season and he doesn't do it on purpose and he's the
02:22first one who feels shit about it.
02:28But it happens and then afterwards we really, really, really struggle to find any momentum again.
02:49Yeah, no, I can understand at this moment of time that they don't have a lot of confidence or a
03:00lot of feeling
03:00that things can be much better next season.
03:05But I think then they are underestimating what a window can do, what a new start can do.
03:13And I think we know quite well what to improve.
03:17I think one of the things we have to improve is also very, very, very obvious.
03:21And I would have preferred not to talk about it here, but you're actually almost forcing me to.
03:27If you miss nine players that can start a game of football and almost all of them are starters for
03:37us
03:37or have been for a large part of the season starters for us,
03:43then if you add that to what you can improve in a window
03:48and add that to players that are playing for the second season in the Premier League,
03:53and I think we saw that the adaptation to the Premier League for a few of them took some time,
03:58but that's now better and better.
04:00That will automatically lead to much more because even today,
04:05but that's my opinion, no one has to agree with me,
04:07but even today for large parts of the game we were close to a result.
04:13But then when you are the better team, you need to generate more chances,
04:17and if you have the chances you need to score them.
04:20And we cannot concede as many set pieces as we've conceded this season.
04:25So I don't think the difference is, or it's so big,
04:28only doing in a few situations the right thing can already have a massive upwards possibility.
04:48Yeah, there's definitely a little chance.
04:52He missed pre-season as we all know, then he broke his leg,
04:57and we've tried to be as careful as we could with him,
05:01taking into account that our other No.9, Hugo Ekiteke, is out for such a long time,
05:06so we needed him as a result of that even more,
05:09but we've tried to be as careful as we could.
05:11But I don't think it can come to anyone as a surprise if you miss your pre-season,
05:15if you then break your leg, that minor injuries can occur
05:19if you have to start into Premier League games immediately in that intensity.
05:27Yeah, it's just a bit of bad luck for him that in a moment of time,
05:32when he comes back in that moment of time, Hugo gets injured,
05:36and we need him more.
05:38But I expect him to train with us this week,
05:42but yeah, I cannot give any guarantees.
05:45...
