00:00It's frustrating not to win the game, but with everything that we did, especially in
00:04the first half, it's 43-44 minutes.
00:07The dominance, how we dominated every aspect of the game, full control, we lacked a little
00:13bit in the last 15-20 metres. That showed to have more purpose, more direction, the
00:17last pass, the last action, but the game is clearly for us and going in the direction
00:23that we wanted.
00:24Unfortunately, one long ball, we don't manage that ball well. We give it away, we create
00:27a foul in a really dangerous area when you have to rely on them not taking advantage
00:32of the individual quality.
00:34And that's a really bad bet against Manchester United. They capitalised on that in the second
00:39half.
00:40We tried to generate the momentum, we scored the goal and when my feeling was that they
00:44were very struggling because they could not get out and I didn't feel that they had the
00:48legs to do that, we opened the door for them to maybe win the game.
00:53Because we gave some very unusual balls away and very basic things done really poorly and
01:00even though we had three big chances, the reality is that Davies saved us and at the
01:04end in the last chance we could have lost the game.
01:06I don't want to say that but today the frustration is that we haven't won our game. We know the
01:10urgency and you are obligated to win every single match. If you want to have any chance
01:16of doing that, it's the right moment to talk about that anyway.
