00:00 Sean, that was a game in which your team created so many chances, so many opportunities to win, but obviously didn't, an even worse loss.
00:20 Where do you even begin?
00:22 The responsibility is on us, it's as simple as that, because we can't, I think sometimes, rightly so, I mentioned the chance we created, the mentality to keep doing that, we've done it again today and we don't win a game, so that's our responsibility, because I can't keep talking about changing the chance, I can't keep talking about 22 I think we had, 11 on target, you've got to score goals, you've got to score more than one when you're doing that kind of work, so it's a responsibility for everyone, but certainly,
00:51 I'm looking at the talent we've got, looking at the quality we've got, it just seems that odd thing, how we're not scoring more goals is just bizarre, and I'm looking today at good out for the West Ham are, but we're controlling the game, we go 1-0 up, unfortunately Mr Pariba had a great finish on Beto and stuck at it, only took him off because he was fatiguing, I thought his performance was good,
01:13 and we're controlling the game at that point, and the chance we create, you've got to go and score the second, and if you score the second it's a long way back for any team in the Premier League.
01:21 Full of positives about chance creation, obviously, at the other end, they scored two in stoppage time, that's three goals in stoppage time in two weeks.
01:30 Yeah, I'm not worried about that side of things, there's too many chances this season, the details is a poor pass and they get a breakaway, it's a good finish, the second goal to be fair is a great strike, but defensively we're pretty solid again today, the team's worked hard, there's no lack of effort, there's no lack of anything, but we've got to score goals, it's as simple as that, it's just, like I say, I can talk about the extras, I can talk about the quality, I can talk about everything, but I've never been naive in football, it's alright me talking about it, you've got to go and do it, and that's the responsibility,
01:57 I just said to the players, we have a responsibility collectively to go and actually take the chances we're creating, and that's everyone, it's not just centre-forwards, all I keep hearing is centre-forwards, everyone's allowed to score a goal, so everyone's got to go out with the mentality to score a goal, and that was most pleasing about Beto's performance, to miss the penalty is not easy, he missed a good chance in the first half, but he kept going and kept going, and it's a great header, and as I said, he fatigued enough and we had to take him off, but it's another good marker for him to say, 'Look, I'm ready and I want to take it on'.
02:24 It's December since the last time home fans here saw a win in the league, it's another month until the next home game here as well, so I suppose that's going to extend to four rounds, what would your message be to home fans?
02:35 I can't say how frustrating it is, I mean, virtually, not all games, we've played some really good sides here, but the stats early season of creating so many chances, not scoring, the stats today, I mean, it can't just keep going on, it's hard to correct it when it's there, right in front of your eyes, trust me it's hard, because we're going, 'Right, what more can we do?'
02:56 But the players have a responsibility at this football club, as well as the management, as well as the staff, and we know that, it's a joint responsibility. I can't ask the players to defend properly as a team, which I do, and then not have the balance, which means you've got to score as a team, it's not just about centre-forwards, it's everyone taking their opportunities, that final finish, that final pass, and we get in so many good areas, so that's a massive frustration.
03:19 No excuses, that's what's got to change to get us back to winning ways, and we've still got to stop it going in, but I'm not going to question that with our record this season, but we've got to take chances, just too many again today, too many, especially at key moments of the game.
03:32 Just finally on Beto, did you have to say anything to Mahat? He came back, he showed courage to come back and score.
03:37 No, no, absolutely not, he knows the responsibility, and he's got on with it and scored a very good goal.
03:43 Why do you think the team is struggling to see games out? It's obviously a similar issue against Brighton.
03:49 I don't think we have, we've seen our things not taking chances, you can't just look to defend, I don't think we did look to defend, I must make it clear, we're still creating chances at 1-0 up.
03:56 That's the frustration, in the Premier League everyone has a right to score a goal, so you've got to kill games off, you either kill it from defending or you kill it with the ball and create a chance of scoring a second goal.
04:05 Scoring that second goal has been a nemesis all season, scoring the first has been a challenge, but scoring the second has been a nemesis.
04:11 When you do that, we've seen in the recent run, four wins, you don't score the first, it's the second, the third, the fourth in some cases.
04:20 That's the requirement, it's not just about containing a game, but I thought today we were containing it with the ball and still creating chances, that's frustration.
04:30 Obviously, I'm very, very frustrated, because I thought, I can't keep saying it, but I thought it was, if you took the goals out of the game and anyone wants to have a go, that's a decent performance from Evan.
04:43 That's what they'd say, but I can't keep saying that when you're not winning games.
04:47 So that's got to be corrected, we've got to win games and we've got to learn or keep having the freedom to score.
04:53 The only thing I would say psychologically, and I'll be telling the players, at the moment no-one thinks you score from free play, everyone keeps talking about it.
05:00 So have you never had a better chance to score from free play?
05:02 Because if you're ever going to free yourself up, you go, if no-one thinks anyway, what difference does it make?
05:06 So I'm like, well, let's go and play then, let's go and score, let's go and have the freedom to miss, as I call it.
05:11 If everyone thinks you can't, well then, let's go and do it.
05:14 You mentioned that you feel there is sufficient quality in the squad to be doing better in front of goals, so have you been able to pinpoint what's going wrong?
05:21 It's the moment of truth, it's the moment of truth.
05:24 You can only put them in the right area, and when you get in the right area, I don't mean literally in the physical area,
05:29 and when that moment comes, it's the clarity to go and score a goal.
05:32 The only thing I'd say, if everyone was doing it, if it was that easy, we'd all have loads of players scoring loads of goals.
05:36 Of course it's not easy, but there's so many chances here this season, and especially at home.
05:41 I can't remember teams I've had in my life, and I've played and had this many chances,
05:48 and can't see games through by winning, as scoring winning.
05:51 We can see games through in other ways, but as scoring, to take the game forwards and deal with it.
05:56 Apart from that run of four when we looked really solid, and we were creating chances and scoring goals.
06:00 So where does it all go? How can it suddenly go so quickly?
06:03 So it's a big frustration.
06:04 To be able to explain why you gave Beto an opportunity from the start today?
06:09 I think Dom's worked really hard, we've asked a lot of him.
06:12 Beto's been chomping, he's been waiting, pleased with his performance as well.
06:16 But like I say, the challenge when you're not playing as much is getting that real Premier League fitness,
06:20 and I just thought he was fatiguing.
06:21 So we had to change it and try and get that extra bit of sharpness up front that we were looking for at that stage.
06:27 Are you surprised, just a final one from me, are you surprised to see the team vulnerable for their Zouma goal from a corner?
06:33 No, it's not like us, to be fair.
06:35 I don't want to get too critical on the defensive side of this team, because we know the stats and facts.
06:39 It's not like us. We get a bit of a melee there, the lad gets there quicker.
06:44 The second one's a good finish.
06:46 Their goalie described himself as having a worldie, but too many are like that.
06:50 No, we've had too many. It's our job to make them not have a worldie.
06:52 That's the responsibility, that's what I tell the players.
06:54 Keep around a worldie, make sure they don't have a worldie.
06:58 Make sure you put it in a position they can't have a worldie, let's say.
07:01 That's our responsibility, without a shadow of a doubt.
07:04 Any further questions?
07:06 Sean, just on the penalty, I know you don't usually get any.
07:11 I thought we could add another one, by the way.
07:14 A push on Jimmy in the box. I don't know where these two hands in the back live anymore.
07:18 We'll take one, that's a start point.
07:20 Who would you recognise to take the penalty?
07:23 Him, because he stood up and said, 'I'll take it'.
07:26 We work on penalties, especially with the Cup games.
07:28 Every player takes penalties, we keep a record, his record's good.
07:31 Any further questions, folks?
07:34 Thanks, everyone.
