00:10 >> Evening guys, hope you're all in the same process as ever.
00:15 Please raise your hand, we'll come to as many of you as we can.
00:16 Start with Jamie.
00:18 >> Hi, great game.
00:20 Just with regard to the Erling Haaland, Simon Hooper,
00:23 the referee blowing up after he made play on.
00:26 You said you want to do a Mikel Arteta comment about this.
00:30 >> I will not do it.
00:31 >> It's a very odd decision because he did wave play on.
00:33 So, surely you can speak about it in general terms, what you think about it.
00:38 >> It was an action, so the game was really good for both sides.
00:42 So we played a fantastic first half.
00:44 The second half, they make a step forward for the ball possession.
00:47 But even with that was good and quite similar.
00:50 In everything, we're really, really good.
00:53 I would say in the first half, much better.
00:55 We could score more, but yeah, it's football.
00:58 Have to manage better and the election is football.
01:01 So I make a mistake, so players make mistakes.
01:06 And surprised me for the fact that, like you said,
01:09 in the moment when Erling go down for the action from Davis,
01:13 in the moment they whistle, it's fine.
01:15 But in their moments, and that continue, and the referee make that gesture, play on.
01:20 And after make the pass, and after stop the game.
01:22 So that is, I don't wanna criticize them.
01:26 So in the touchline, sometimes I lose my mind, my gesture is not proper.
01:32 But here, normally, I'm for many years, so as a manager,
01:38 I'm not the guy like when I'm refreshed to come in.
01:41 That's true, probably for the gesture, but I would say we didn't draw for that.
01:47 So they are happy, Tottenham for the point, and we are a little bit less happy.
01:52 But the performance quite similar like we have done lately.
01:56 So the people say, you are concerned about the goals you concede.
01:59 Yeah, of course, but how many chances we concede?
02:01 So it's ridiculous, so we concede nothing.
02:05 But every time for our mistakes or for the quality for the opponents,
02:08 we concede a goal and after it's more and more difficult.
02:11 But yeah, still a lot of games, so and that is the point.
02:17 So we are in the position that it happened lately, what is going to, it's happening.
02:21 So okay, let's go challenge this situation in a good things, in a good moments.
02:27 The teams don't be defined, so now is where it is.
02:30 It's not the first time we face this situation that we are playing good,
02:33 playing good, but the results don't come.
02:36 Always we find a way to find a solution, but today,
02:39 lately we are struggling a little bit.
02:41 I remember a little bit the first season like we were playing good,
02:44 the people don't remember, I remember perfectly because it was not good
02:47 that season in terms of titles, but we're playing, yeah, good.
02:50 And we could not resolve results.
02:52 So insist, the only medicine I got or I learned from my periods as a player,
02:59 manager, managers, when you are playing in the level we are playing lately,
03:03 is insist, insist, insist.
03:06 And after we'll see what happens.
03:08 Sam?
03:09 Ange has just come in and said, "We promised goals and we delivered,
03:14 and we both..."
03:16 Even though you're disappointed at not winning the game,
03:20 you're on the touchline and you were trying to engineer a win,
03:23 do you get any pleasure out of the fact that your team has helped deliver a game?
03:28 Absolutely.
03:30 The question is, we have done it in seven years.
03:34 It's not today.
03:35 I have to say Man City, I'm sorry to say that,
03:38 I say that when we don't win, otherwise maybe I wouldn't do winning.
03:41 We make this sport better.
03:44 So we are honest in our game, we go there and try it and accept results
03:48 that happened in the past and congratulate the team.
03:51 So Tottenham making a step forward in the second half,
03:55 they play a little bit better in terms of possession,
03:57 so they take risks but they want to do it.
03:59 And I said yesterday, when a team want to try to do it
04:02 and another team want to try to do it,
04:04 football game is a nice, nice game.
04:07 So, yeah, we are disappointed but it's football.
04:10 So what can I say? It's football.
04:12 Can I say something to the players in the locker room after that?
04:16 So, yeah, making mistakes, yeah, of course.
04:19 Who doesn't know making mistakes in football in our lives?
04:22 So, they get the decision immediately, the opponents are really good.
04:25 Really good.
04:27 But maybe today we deserve to win,
04:32 but Tottenham maybe deserve to win against Aston Villa.
04:35 The first 15, 20 minutes they had three or four chances to do 3-0
04:39 and they lost the game.
04:40 So football with one coin sometimes goes one side,
04:43 but the intention and the proposal, what they are doing is good.
04:46 So hopefully it cannot affect mentally, remain positive,
04:51 and, yeah, let's go for the next one.
04:54 Jack?
04:55 Hi, Pep. I know you're scoring quite a lot of goals at the moment,
04:58 but is there any concern about how many chances you're missing?
05:02 That's good.
05:05 We have to try to create the chances,
05:07 and after maybe one day we'll create two chances for two goals.
05:10 It happened against Liverpool, it happened against Chelsea,
05:12 Chelsea scored four, but you review the game,
05:14 you cannot imagine the chances we had.
05:17 They had two, so that game, yeah, we conceded a lot,
05:21 but the other games we didn't concede much.
05:24 So we lost against Walsh and two shooting targets.
05:27 So it happened lately, but it's a moment we have to learn,
05:32 we have to review, we have to be more caught,
05:34 to analyse tomorrow, watching the game,
05:37 but in general we see the team and say,
05:39 "Is the team completely different from the previous seasons?"
05:41 I don't think so.
05:43 It's quite similar for the approach and how we press and the hunger,
05:47 and after Bernardo and Julian and Erling and everyone,
05:51 they build up the risk we take and how good we move,
05:54 and how we find, how we arrive.
05:56 How many times the final third with the chances,
05:58 still I had the feeling it's the same team,
06:00 for the way we play, the team is playing differently,
06:03 and everything is fine.
06:05 But, guys, it's a business,
06:07 the last three games we played more than good, three points.
06:10 So that is a reality.
06:12 Sam, you've obviously talked about the defence overall,
06:16 the team don't concede many chances,
06:18 recently there's been mistakes with the quality of their position,
06:21 does that make it harder for you,
06:23 or what is your approach when it's just a mistake?
06:26 How does a team fix that?
06:29 Insist, create more chances, score more goals,
06:32 and continue the average to the chances being created for the opponent,
06:36 as less as possible,
06:38 and be aware that sometimes,
06:39 "OK, I have to defend the cross, attack the ball, the highest ball",
06:42 but it was a good action, Jenson made a good action,
06:44 made a good delivery,
06:46 for the full-backs on the opposite side it's so difficult to defend these actions,
06:49 Kulisiewski attacked the ball well,
06:52 the second ball he made a good high pressing,
06:55 Julián should keep the ball,
06:58 instead of passing to Erling, so it happens,
07:01 sometimes it happens, but the way we played,
07:04 yeah,
07:06 what can I say, listen, when you don't win the ball,
07:08 my argument is ridiculous,
07:11 also the winners have the credit for the speech,
07:14 so if we don't win, don't give me too much credit for what I'm saying,
07:19 that's what I'm feeling, but if we don't win, I don't have many arguments to defend my position,
07:23 where the position for the winners is always so attractive,
07:27 but for the no-winners, always the excuse is,
07:29 "OK, yeah, but you didn't win", yeah, you're right.
07:32 They don't win.
07:33 James?
07:35 Hi Pep, it's three games obviously without a win in the league,
07:39 but as you said, you've played well in all those games,
07:41 is it as simple to you as it's just bad luck at the moment?
07:44 No, no.
07:47 I learned from Johan Cruyff that bad luck in football doesn't exist.
07:49 It's what it is.
07:52 But still, after many years there, still here with many players for many years,
07:59 I see them and I say, "OK."
08:00 Is it similar to your first season, when it seemed almost every chance you got...
08:05 No, we are much better now.
08:08 We are much better after many years, we know each other much better,
08:12 I know the players, they know me, the first season, everything is new,
08:15 I remember the first games, everything is new,
08:17 we play with this consistency in the process, in defence and everything.
08:21 We play quite decent, but the opponents, two or three shots on target, goal, goal.
08:28 And that is difficult, and that, you know, you have to be clear how is the situation.
08:36 And when is that? In the season.
08:39 But anyway, we are not going to change, so I don't know how far will be the season,
08:44 but I'm not going to change the approach in the way we are doing or the way we play.
08:49 That's for sure.
08:52 Finish with McHale, please.
08:53 Hello, Pep. Erling was quite furious at the end there,
08:57 and he's out on Twitter writing, "What the f?" now after the game.
09:03 What do you think about his reaction?
09:05 It's normal.
09:06 Reaction for that ten players with the referee.
09:13 Before it was send off for all the players.
09:16 The rules for the referees, you cannot talk with the players and for officials,
09:19 otherwise you'll be sent off.
09:21 So we should have been sent off ten players.
09:24 So of course he's a little bit disappointed.
09:28 Even the referee, if he played for Man City today, he would be disappointed.
09:32 That's for sure.
09:34 Thank you, guys.
09:35 Thank you.
09:37 For that action, eh?
