00:00Only I see the record is the last six games since the first defeat in the United game.
00:13They didn't lose.
00:14The best moment of Fulham from the outset of the season, the previous season, is that
00:18Michael Sivis already a few years there in London and they brought interesting players
00:30there, especially Anderson, experienced guys, and it's a team always, always, always, at
00:37home especially, always created problems in the first half a lot.
00:40The quality of Southampton, in my opinion, a team that is extremely well coached, that
00:45they have a very clear philosophy, they've been very unlucky not to have many more points
00:52because there were moments in the game that they were far better than the opponent and
00:56in some moments they got the results away from them and it will be very tough.
01:01When you get into the battle, particularly at this level, of dealing with one crisis
01:08or another, you can forget that, you know, it's that curiosity to always find out more
01:13information.
01:14He maintains that, you know, he'll be an outstanding manager, but he's done well.
01:20It's probably a perfect fit for him because I think Brighton are a fantastic club.
01:25They're careful about who they put in as manager.
01:27There's usually an alignment there, which I wonder sometimes with other clubs whether
01:34they even think about that stuff.
01:35So he's in a great place.
01:36You always look at the first one and that's Crystal Palace and I think they already showed
01:41how tough of an opponent they are against the big teams like United and Chelsea in both
01:47situations.
01:48They got the results.
01:49So that's the first game and that's why it's the most important one and the difficult one
01:54for us.
01:5512.30 kick-off after playing on Wednesday evening late in the Champions League.
01:59I would not only address it as undisciplined, but definitely we can improve and we have
02:06to improve if we want to make it a success and we can only achieve, like last two seasons,
02:12win trophies when we improve.
02:14So yeah, we will work on this, definitely.
02:17We know that every Premier League game, but today in football, I think every game, no
02:22matter the competition, can be a difficult game and Nottingham, they have a very good
02:26manager, very good squad.
02:28They are doing well.
02:30Beating Liverpool is not easy, never, especially away.
02:34So they are doing very good and we are going to try to prepare our best.
02:37They are a good outfit, they have been put together well, but as you said, our record
02:41against them was good last season.
02:43There is certainly no given reason why we can't replicate that record, but you have
02:47got to play well and I think we have got to play well from the start to the finish.
02:51I thought we pieced it together better the second half last week against Palace, but
02:55you have got to do that for the full game.
