00:00What do you think you saw today, there was more frustration and uptake in the three players?
00:06Yes, it's two emotions, I think.
00:09I think everybody asked me the same question,
00:11and this just shows that everybody felt the same.
00:15I'm very proud of the performance, I'm very proud of the way we played,
00:20I'm very proud of how many chances we created and scoring two goals,
00:25but we all feel frustrated and disappointed about the result
00:28because we have the feeling it could have been more,
00:30it could and probably should have been a win,
00:34but on the other side, and this is also what we could see,
00:38maybe I felt after 60-65 minutes our defending was not as clinical as it had been before,
00:46and for me both goals are the same, we opened twice this channel,
00:52and it shows me that when the player is getting a little bit of fatigue
00:55or the pressure increases, so what we are talking about is not 100% settled,
01:01but it can't be after six or seven weeks,
01:03and I'm pretty sure in a few weeks we don't concede goals like this,
01:06because it's a clear way to more or less easily defend this,
01:11so Gakpo and also Munoz should never get this pass,
01:14so here we opened this channel we don't want,
01:17and that's why we have now just one point,
01:21but on the other side, the performance was really top,
01:23and the reaction after getting the equaliser was top,
01:26playing forward, the leave was top.
01:28It's maybe unfair to single out an individual,
01:30but I just wanted to get your thoughts on James McAteev's performance,
01:33because it looks like he was part of everything good about the all-round team performance today as well.
01:39Yes, I heard he became the man of the match reward.
01:44I think it's unfair and I never like to talk about an individual,
01:47because James couldn't have won or get a point here alone.
01:54Yes, he had a very good performance and he understands the game,
01:57he understands more and more how we want him to play,
02:00he has quick solutions in this,
02:02I also think Xaver Schlager had a very good performance here in midfield,
02:04but on the other side, when I see Dan Ndoye, how many chances he had,
02:10because I'm still pretty sure the chance rate after half-time,
02:15when Alisson saved and then the referee whistled a foul,
02:18this call would have never stand,
02:21because there was no foul, there was a very light contact,
02:25Dan had good chances,
02:27I think Ola and Aina created two top chances in the first half,
02:34so many players who had really a good performance,
02:38but still very early in the season.
02:40Did you expect being allowed to make an immediate impact with a quickly taken throwback?
02:45Yes, that's why I brought him on.
02:48It was the game, I think it was 1-1 at that time,
02:51and for me it's always,
02:54I think it's also a sign,
02:57a very important sign to the players,
02:59if we concede the 1-1,
03:01and then bringing on a striker,
03:05because it's the signal,
03:06hey, we want to score again,
03:09it's not now just defending and getting this 1-1 over the final whistle,
03:14and this is what we wanted,
03:15that's why we brought Liam on,
03:18and I think not just a quick throw-in,
03:20but also this channel run,
03:22and Neko Williams passed and followed,
03:25and then it's a quick reaction,
03:27so how we conceded,
03:29how we got the penalty,
03:31it had a good impact today.
03:32I'm sorry to ask straight after the game,
03:34but hopefully you appreciate that,
03:36given the transfer links that there are,
03:39what can you tell us,
03:39because we're hearing that a £40m big could go in for Harrison Armstrong at Everton,
03:43and it could be Armstrong and Munoz arriving before transfer deadline,
03:48what can you tell us?
03:49Could be even more.
03:50Could be more.
03:52And what's happening with those two?
03:56I have no idea,
03:57because we just played outside,
04:00I'm really also full of emotions,
04:04it was a very intense game for everyone,
04:07so let's see,
04:10I'm very confident that we find and add the right players,
04:15the right profile of players,
04:16the right characters,
04:17but today I think everyone who was involved in today's game
04:22deserves that it's talking about him,
04:24because they did the hard work outside,
04:26so I didn't really work hard,
04:28just jumping left and right,
04:30but the players really worked hard,
04:32and they deserve all the credit,
04:34and they deserve the full attention,
04:36and then,
04:37it's the latest on,
04:38I don't know when the window closes,
04:40Tuesday,
04:405, 6,
04:4211,
04:43and then all these shields you can put in,
04:46I don't know,
04:46so I will sleep when it's closed,
04:49and as I always say,
04:51it's Tuesday?
04:52Tuesday,
04:53yeah.
04:54Wednesday evening,
04:55I will have a pint of beer and celebrate,
04:57transfer window is closed.
04:58Not the only one.
05:00Yes,
05:01every manager will do this, I guess.
05:05Did we get to see a first sight of what you want your team to look like today?
05:10Was that the first sight of the Oliver Glasner ethos?
05:15No, it will never be an Oliver Glasner way,
05:17it will be a Nottingham Forest way,
05:19because I think we could see a few patterns how we want to play,
05:26I think today, of course, when you play at Anfield,
05:28you see more about the defending and the transition,
05:30but there was also, especially in the first half,
05:32when we had good moments in possession,
05:36we switched the side quickly,
05:38having an overload straight at the beginning,
05:40then with Shair starting here,
05:41we changed our,
05:45not formation,
05:46but our positioning in the build-up a little bit,
05:50because I think I mentioned it in the pre-match press conference,
05:53most of the chances lead had in the cup game were when we lost possession,
05:57and we were just too open and too stretched,
06:01and that's why we changed a little bit,
06:03so you can have another look and maybe you find it what we changed.
06:10But yes, many positive aspects,
06:15many things we are talking, many things we are training,
06:17and also I talked about it quite often,
06:21and this is a very encouraging sign for me,
06:25with a three-game week,
06:27some players played all three games,
06:28and we were running 120 kilometres today,
06:31so that shows me it goes into the right direction,
06:34players getting more and more fitness,
06:37and that's just the foundation of how we want to play,
06:44but on the other side it's just the point,
06:48it still feels a little bit frustrating,
06:50that's why we need to stay humble and work very, very hard,
06:54and this is what we will do.
06:56You mentioned in your pre-match press conference
06:58that you said you only wanted one more signing,
07:01maybe two,
07:02but what's changed?
07:04Is it just opportunities that have arisen?
07:06Yeah.
07:08How many do you think you might get now?
07:12Is it just two or three?
07:13No, let's say definitely one,
07:19potentially two,
07:20and probably three.
07:25Right?
07:26Yeah.
07:29Any more?
07:31Oliver, it was near enough the same team
07:33that played against Leeds on the Open Day,
07:36but a completely different performance.
07:38What do you kind of put that down to,
07:39just the time you had with the players,
07:41or is there anything else?
07:44It was a different game, I guess.
07:51Yeah, players getting more and more used,
07:55what we want to do.
07:58Yeah, we also played a little bit different,
08:01I think everybody could see that we defended deeper,
08:04we didn't press them really high,
08:05this was,
08:06let's say,
08:07maybe we are not there right now,
08:09the pressure team was always very high,
08:12physically maybe not,
08:13also because then you get stretched,
08:16you have wider areas to defend,
08:20it's just because the halfway line,
08:21you can't be in front of the halfway line
08:24because there is no offside,
08:26and this is what we said,
08:29OK, it just makes sense doing one step after the other.
08:33On the other side,
08:35let's be very, very honest,
08:41if we score one goal from a set play against Leeds,
08:43that could have been more or less easily,
08:48and we don't concede this goal,
08:49it's 1-0 for us,
08:50and we would say,
08:51what a start into the season,
08:53winning at home and then getting a draw at Anfield,
08:56but we tend to judge the game just by the results,
09:01and I think this is a big mistake,
09:02and this is what we,
09:04as coaching staff,
09:06we can't do,
09:07we always have to look at the performance,
09:09and that's why I said,
09:11I think the players learned really well from the Leeds game.
09:18On the other side,
09:19in one situation,
09:20we were lucky when their offside goal was disallowed,
09:24and this was the same,
09:24we tend to stay into small areas for too long,
09:30in this situation,
09:31we won the ball,
09:32and we knew that they are very aggressive in counter-pressing,
09:35and then we want to pass a square pass in front of the box,
09:39it just makes no sense,
09:41and so playing quick forward,
09:43and this is what we did in many other situations,
09:45much better,
09:45and then we can release ourselves from their pressure,
09:50and then we get space,
09:52and then we can use the qualities of our players,
09:55and for example,
09:55Dan had all his situations more or less in the same way,
09:59and that is still a process we are in,
10:03and also changing a few habits the players just had,
10:06but again, today's performance gives us a lot of confidence.
10:12I appreciate you can only name so many players in the squad,
10:16but Arno Calamuendo and Amari Hutchinson were not involved,
10:19there has been a bit of speculation about both of them,
10:21do we read anything into their absence,
10:23or is it just a case of selection?
10:27Yeah, let's see,
10:28let's see again if we have definitely one,
10:32potentially two,
10:33and probably three signings,
10:35it would just make sense if we have definitely one,
10:38potentially two,
10:39probably three players who will leave us.
10:42Thank you very much.
