00:00Quite well, it's come back into the game, but the red card kind of made it quite difficult after that.
00:05Yeah, I just don't see it as being a red card.
00:08I have to say, I just don't, I really don't agree with the decision.
00:11I don't know what I'm allowed to say or not, but I just don't agree with the decision.
00:14I think he wasn't really moving quick directly with the goal.
00:18It was off and off a foul or not a foul.
00:19It was very soft and slow and it was just to go on a red card for that,
00:24especially to be taken to VAR.
00:26I just, I just don't understand it.
00:29Listen, we had a bad start in the game and give ourselves a lot to do
00:33at a place that you come in a year anyway, the semi-finalists last year
00:36and push, push to the later stages.
00:39So we knew that and to go a goal down, I thought we responded and grew into the game pretty
00:43well.
00:43We had, you could argue, for the best chance, we had four 1v1s effectively,
00:49two for Brian, Marcus had one that didn't connect with the volley,
00:53Bruno had one that lifted over the goalkeeper and it all.
00:55Again, it could look different.
00:56There's things we can certainly do better as the game went on,
01:01but I thought the game was right in the balance and I thought we were in it second half.
01:05The red card obviously had a major impact on that.
01:07Just on the point of missed chances, I mean, what do you kind of put it down to at this
01:11point?
01:11Do you think it's maybe a bit of confidence with some of those front players?
01:14Because as you mentioned, you really did have the chances to get back into the game
01:17and, you know, really get an advantage.
01:19No, I don't think it's, players can miss chances, you know, they can do that.
01:24Brian's been scoring goals and he scored again the other day, so it can happen.
01:28You know, the boys have got quality, so it's not an individual thing.
01:32It's just a fact that they were there for us today that we didn't quite make the most of.
01:36I'm sure we will.
01:37We keep making them.
01:38We have to keep making them, doing the right things.
01:40It's one of those, again, times where when we're doing something like that,
01:43we're not getting the benefit of.
01:45We have to make sure we do ourselves, get the benefit of it a little bit more
01:50and then obviously defend that a little bit better in the moments.
01:53But I thought from the first goal after that,
01:55I thought we've done a lot of things really well in a tough place.
02:01Hi, Michael.
02:02I don't know if you've had a chance to see Lissandro's interview so far,
02:05but he said that he doesn't think you were backed enough in the summer,
02:09that the squad wasn't invested, the players who were here last year
02:12haven't had the support they need in terms of investment in the squad this summer
02:16and that essentially it's not good enough and the squad's not good enough.
02:19Do you agree with his point about the investment
02:21and do you think that you were let down this summer
02:24and that you weren't backed in the way you maybe expected to be?
02:27Well, I haven't seen the interview.
02:29I've half heard about it as the interviews that I've done,
02:31but I think it's a little bit on the emotions of the game as well,
02:36of coming here and being disappointed not to get something from the game
02:40and straight after a game for me is not the time to talk about that interview
02:47because I've not seen it, so I can't really comment on that.
02:50But I think it's important for us to move forward quickly really.
02:55I think there's a big game on Sunday and it's really important that we move forward
02:59and we stay focused on that.
03:00There's disappointment within the group.
03:02I'm bitterly disappointed in certain things and the boys are as well as a group of players.
03:10Hi, Michael.
03:11I appreciate you don't want to speak too expansively on that,
03:13but in maybe a perverse way, do you take some encouragement that Lissandro has actually given you
03:19quite profound backing there, saying that you shouldn't always be on the manager?
03:24Listen, as a group I don't doubt the togetherness or the wanting to win
03:29or the willingness to do things to win, so I really don't doubt that.
03:35I know results-wise it's easy to look and think there's something kind of deeply wrong
03:41because we haven't won enough games, so I understand that.
03:44But the players have been great, I have to say.
03:48Great not in a nice way, but great is the one who pushed, the one who's very disappointed
03:53that they haven't come out tonight of something from the game
03:56because we were desperate and we feel that actually we could have and maybe should have.
04:00Hi, Michael.
04:01Sorry, just one more on that, if I can.
04:02Obviously, it's so strong from Lissandro, it's unprecedented really, I think,
04:05for a player to say what he said after a game like that.
04:08Will you speak to him?
04:09How do you sort of move past that?
04:11It feels like he was making some pretty profound points there about the club.
04:15I need to find out a bit more about it, to be honest,
04:17before I can say what if and what is going to be done.
04:21I really can't comment any further because I'm not seeing it myself.
04:25Okay, take one from the other back.
04:27Good night, Mr. Carrick, in the first place.
04:32Visto lo que ha ocurrido en los primeros minutos
04:44y la desorganización de su equipo que le ha costado un gol,
04:49¿cómo ha sido la charla técnica y cómo ha motivado a sus jugadores
04:52para un partido de la importancia del día?
04:54Muchas gracias.
04:58I thought we responded very well, actually, to the early goal.
05:04I thought we got a lot of control in certain points of the game.
05:08They're a good team, so we knew it was going to be a difficult game,
05:11but as I said, I thought we created a number of chances,
05:14probably more than most teams would create here,
05:17to have four kind of not far-off 1v1s with a goalkeeper.
05:21I think they defend well as a team,
05:24so it was important for us to take the chances when we got them.
05:28We didn't quite get that.
05:29It wasn't a question of motivation or how to motivate the team at half-time.
05:34For the second half, the game was really tight,
05:36and the boys, again, did some good things,
05:38some things we need to get better at and give certain spaces away
05:41that we didn't want to give away tactically,
05:43but it wasn't a motivational problem.
05:57Can a feeling of the things that are against players bring people together?
06:02You spoke yesterday about having to pull together through difficult moments.
06:06You've obviously gone far without a win now,
06:07but there does seem a real bond between the group.
06:09Is that fair?
06:10Yeah, there is.
06:11The boys are hurting.
06:13The boys are hurting.
06:15They're passionate.
06:16They want to do well.
06:17They're definitely hurting.
06:19They're trying to do the right things.
06:21They're trying to work.
06:21They want to improve.
06:22They want to listen.
06:23They want to keep attacking the next game and move forward,
06:26and they're still really positive of what we can do,
06:28so I think it's important that tonight,
06:31if we're honest, tonight can happen.
06:33It's a really tough place to come.
06:35They're a really good team.
06:36Played in the semi-final last year.
06:37They're a good team,
06:38and going to go down so early,
06:40I thought there was a lot of positives to take from the game,
06:43and we've got to use that.
06:45We've got to use that.
06:46We definitely need to keep learning about some of the things
06:48we're making more difficult for ourselves,
06:50but we can win games,
06:53and we can get winning games.
06:54It's a fantastic game on Sunday for us to look forward to,
06:57to prepare for,
06:58and to galvanise everybody to push in that same direction,
07:01which the boys certainly are.
07:03Okay.
07:04Thanks, everyone.
07:04All right.
07:05Cheers, guys.
07:07Cheers.
07:09Cheers.
