00:00What did you think of his performance today and where do you think he's at overall so far?
00:12I think he's adapting now, and you see that he adapts to the intensity of the Premier League.
00:19I think his body gets more and more stable, more and more resilient,
00:22and I think it's so important for playing in the Premier League,
00:25and he's very flexible, he can play as a right full-back, he can play as a right wing,
00:32so he gives us a lot of different things as a full-back and also as a player.
00:38That's why I'm very happy that he's in our squad,
00:43and I'm sure he will improve day for day, because he has this personality,
00:47he wants to improve, he's asking for this help,
00:52and now it's up to us to give him the right advices for his development.
00:56Obviously you've got options in your field, but was that during the selection today?
01:03No, Carlos had an issue with his knee, and he would be a starter,
01:10but in the end I think it was the right decision not to take any risks.
01:15He's a very young player, he's played a lot of games in the past,
01:19we have to take care of the health of the players,
01:22especially when they are at this age, they are playing for the land, for their country,
01:29they are pushing in every game, so I think it's also our responsibility as a club
01:35to protect the players in the right moment and to take care of their health.
01:39I saw a yard where you were the last of the two to be subbed in,
01:44it took a heavy challenge, did you get concerned about him, left-hander?
01:52I didn't speak to him after the game, so I think he's a ruthless player,
01:58he's very resilient, so hopefully there's nothing bad,
02:02and I'm sure he will be back on the pitch, hopefully.
02:07Anything for Monday's? Brian?
02:10On Jack Inshulwit, what did you think about him and his development,
02:15given that since his academy days he has played so many positions in defence and midfield,
02:24what did you like the most about him?
02:27His courage, playing out from the back, I think that's something very impressive,
02:33and he's very good with his passing, he understands the game,
02:38he reads the game in a special way,
02:41and I think it's so important for a game to have a very good passing technique,
02:47to have a good pre-orientation, to always find a good angle to his team-mate,
02:51and to recognise the space, and he's outstanding in these areas.
02:57Hi, Fabian, I know you're quite new to the Premier League,
03:00but I guess you've watched it for many years,
03:02it seems quite unpredictable so far this season,
03:05Arsenal lost today, Man City lost today, Forest the third,
03:08if you'd have won here you'd have been in the top four,
03:10do you get the impression it's going to be quite an unpredictable season,
03:13with teams beating each other, rather than just two or three teams running away from everyone else?
03:21Yeah, I think that's what I've experienced so far, the Premier League is tough this year,
03:28and like you said, everyone can beat everyone,
03:32so, Bournemouth beat Man City today, I think we had a big chance to win here today as well,
03:38and that's why you see, we have to win the games,
03:41it's so tough to win Premier League games, especially in this season,
03:47the teams are very strong, the other coaches have always good ideas,
03:51we need to find a clear identity, because I think in the end if you have a clear identity,
03:56if you follow the process, the results will come,
03:59therefore we try to develop the young players we have,
04:03because we know we are a very young squad,
04:06and tough moments are part of the process, part of the procedure where we want to go,
04:12and that's why it's so important to get the results,
04:16because only playing good is one side, on the other side you need the results,
04:22to have this confidence, and that's why it's very tough to win the games,
04:26but we will try to work on it.
