00:00Militan, do you think there is real kind of talisman potential in him because he doesn't really seem to miss these chances when he's running through and everyone seems to buzz off him when he scores, he seems like quite a well-liked person?
00:10Yeah, he's well-liked, he really works hard for the team, you can see that, his energy to chase things down.
00:17Yeah, people want to win, so anyone who's helping you win games, you're going to take to them.
00:23Yeah, listen, we've been pleased with him since he came in, apart from that one moment, obviously, against Blackburn.
00:28We've been pleased with him and we did miss him in those games and knowing he put extra pressure on the rest of the squad at a time when we could have done without it.
00:37So, yeah, targeting back is good, the fact he's scoring is good and, like I say, he took both goals really well.
00:45Do you feel like your defence is built now in terms of, we don't need to look in the summer or is it scoped?
00:50No, always looking, yeah, always looking.
00:52Is a back three what you envisage? I know you're quite fluid with it, but moving forward, is that what you're going to...?
00:57Yeah, we're building, as I say, we're built with three, yeah, and then it just depends about the players around.
01:03Out of possession, obviously, we've had games where we've been a back four, but a three when we've built and it's been fine.
01:10But if we're looking at results, performances, what the players are comfortable in, it's generally been when we've built and defended with a back three.
01:21And that's been the players in front as well, the midfielders, it's suited the front players.
01:25The fact we've got Jadon in now as a wing, we can be really comfortable playing wing-back, defend well and attack going forward.
01:32Yeah, so, yeah, you've always got to change and adapt based on the opposition, but from that shape, we can move into whatever we want to really.
01:44Kane and Jadon, obviously, might not be in next season, would you be looking for similar profiles in them wide areas?
01:50Well, again, yeah, listen, the thing that Kane's done really well is being able to contribute in the attack while still being really good defensively for us.
02:01It's hard to find players like that, you know, so, yeah, if you can get players like that, then it's ideal.
02:07I'm saying that as if that's what you have to do to be a wing-back, but we want all our players to be like that.
02:13Just mentioned Mads' defensive role, being one of the front players is really important.
02:16How Ad Mili works off the ball is really important, so that's what you'll always be judged on.
02:21What you're giving to the teams, like weight scales, you're giving more than you're taking away, you probably play.
02:26But when you only touch the ball for two minutes out of 90, it's what you're doing in that other 88, generally, that's most important.
