00:00 If you want to ask one, kick off with Sam from the Telecom.
00:02 Hello. Thank you.
00:07 So happy. I think when you have the opportunity to go top
00:10 and you come and winter starts and it's cold and you come to Brentford,
00:14 that is a really uncomfortable place to come.
00:16 I think the team showed, you know, so much willingness to compete,
00:20 to dig in and to play the game that we have to play to win it.
00:24 And I think we fully deserve to win the game. So happy.
00:28 When Paisauri gets form and everyone thought it might be the moment that changed everything,
00:33 this must be a bit different, a bit more significant.
00:36 Yes, but I think that's the beauty of it.
00:39 You know, when things come easy, you don't value them.
00:42 If things would come easy today, he's not getting the reception that he got.
00:47 Everybody hugging him and cuddling him and telling him how much we love him.
00:51 And it's for a reason.
00:52 It's because the way he behaves in difficult moments.
00:54 And he's an example for all of us to do what you have to do when you have difficulties.
01:00 And he's a great example for the team.
01:02 And we cannot be happier that a big player like him wins the game for the team.
01:06 Hi, Mikel.
01:11 Hello.
01:11 Can I just ask you if you're still trying to suss out the attacking bled of your team?
01:17 You played with loads of attacking bled from the start.
01:19 Obviously, you have that to come on.
01:20 Do you feel that's something you're still working on this season to get better?
01:24 That balance between being stronger at the back but also unlocking your forward players?
01:28 I hope I am.
01:29 I hope we can be better and better and adapt.
01:34 Because as well, the reality is that we have lost a lot of players, a lot of attacking players
01:38 in this first period of the league.
01:41 And the team continue to win and find ways to win it.
01:44 And today I put another attacking player because I suspect what they were going to do and what we needed.
01:50 And everybody was really, really good, I think.
01:54 Yes, absolutely.
02:03 Yes.
02:03 And against these blocks and against things that they defend the ball like this,
02:07 you need this type of profile.
02:09 And he's exceptional at that.
02:11 And today he won the game in that action for us.
02:14 You put another late winner for your side.
02:16 Do you think there's almost a narrative developing in your team and also on the positional team as well?
02:21 When the end stop, the goal is still level.
02:23 But it starts to pick Arsenal up.
02:24 You know, Man United had it for so many years with Fergie, tight because of the end of the game.
02:27 Do you think Arsenal are getting towards that level now?
02:29 Yes, I prefer to score three in the first half.
02:31 We had some great chances to score and we got the goal disallowed.
02:34 But if you don't, the team needs that resilience to find a way to win it.
02:38 And then it shows us the impact and importance of the finishers.
02:43 And today they were crucial again.
02:47 It was a tough start for Aaron. What did you make of the way he turned that round?
02:52 I don't know. This is football.
02:53 I'm so happy with the team, the way the team performed.
02:56 We kept a clean sheet and we moved on. So happy.
02:59 Harry?
03:01 No, I'm just going to say that he obviously had a lot of backing from the fans,
03:05 from the United and the Brentford fans.
03:07 But he seemed to get better as the game went on.
03:10 Is that what you want from him?
03:11 Courage.
03:12 And he has big courage, big personality.
03:15 And that's why we love him.
03:17 Yes, sir?
03:18 I was just going to say on Aaron that...
03:20 We have answered that question.
03:21 No, just at the end, a lot of the players ran over to Aaron,
03:25 to see a ball at the end and they were around him, congratulating him.
03:29 It was showing the team spirit that we've got.
03:32 It's a joy as a manager to watch this reaction of the players looking after themselves,
03:37 encouraging each other, showing love to each other.
03:40 He doesn't get any better than that.
03:42 Today's my 200th game and when I see a team that behaves between them like that,
03:46 and I see the staff and the smileys, apart from Dan,
03:49 he doesn't smile too much when you ask the same questions.
03:52 I'm so happy.
03:55 I cannot be prouder and more grateful for everybody that was with us
03:59 every single day to make my job so enjoyable.
04:02 Yes, sir?
04:03 With Kai, obviously, over the international break,
04:07 for Germany at one point he got left back from the score.
04:10 Today he's come down to centre-half for the 10th time.
04:13 What does that show about him as a player and his ability to tilt the team?
04:16 Well, first of all, his quality.
04:18 Because a player can play in different positions,
04:20 he needs a lot of qualities to be able to do that.
04:23 And then, he puts his head down and drives the team.
04:29 And if he needs to do that in any position I ask him, he's the same.
04:32 He's not the only one.
04:33 I asked Jorginho to play three minutes.
04:35 I said, "Jorginho," and by the time he's done that,
04:37 he's already taken everything and he's ready to go.
04:39 It's just a joy for the team to work.
04:41 OK, I think we're done.
04:43 Just a quick question.
04:44 Yes?
04:45 With Kai, at the end in the celebrations,
04:47 you dragged him 140 yards by the net to celebrate.
04:51 30.
04:52 Why was it so key for him to have that moment?
04:56 Because he fully deserves it.
04:59 You know, when you are there and you have to face him,
05:02 he's done it.
05:03 He's faced it.
05:04 He didn't hide.
05:05 So now go and face as well that beautiful moment
05:07 because you fully deserve it.
05:09 And I knew he wasn't going to do that.
05:10 So, I had to push him.
05:12 Thanks, everyone.
