00:00 If you watch how we're able to get to the final thirds, we get there quite comfortably.
00:04 Due to, you know, obviously the players ability, but that final bit, you know, especially in
00:11 defending, you know, really it's two penalty boxes. That's what really makes you that top
00:18 level. And that's why you see people paying 80 to 100 million for those type of plays.
00:23 All right, it's a little bit different now in football where you can go and spend that on
00:27 midfielders now. But those that difference make up the real quality. That's what, you know,
00:34 your real top end player, that's what they are. We're young. I do remember my first year in the
00:42 Premier League was difficult. I was a waste of money. And then next year I go and win PFA Young
00:50 Player of the Year. So it can change, you know what I mean? You sometimes have experience and
00:55 also that belief as well. You've got to work a little bit harder in the Premier League to get
00:58 your opportunities. Sometimes a touch you're not going to get, you need to hit first time.
01:02 But they're all part of the learning as well. And like I've said it before on a member,
01:07 I think it was against Chelsea as well, like we are the youngest team in this league
01:10 due to where we are, you know, and the financial position we're in. You know, we don't have the
01:16 money to go and, you know, buy proven top players. You know, we're not that type of club.
01:22 And that's not a problem either. So probably the inexperience of the players we have in those type
01:28 of areas as well, who are just going to massively improve, especially after a season like this as
01:33 well, who will be, I believe, will be top Premier League players, are just going through that
01:38 process at the moment. And sometimes it just works that way.
