00:00Okay, problem.
00:25Ruben, it worked so hard to get in the game at the end of the first half and then the second half just seemed to be complete.
00:32What happened in the first half?
00:34Yeah, when we suffered the second goal in the beginning of the second half, we went down.
00:41We need to be better in these moments, we need to control it.
00:44They are already a really, really good team, but then all the mistakes that we make during the game
00:52help the opponent to win confidence and to win the games.
00:56Chris?
00:57It was a decent game outside, I think four goals and that four goal was hard for him. What was the same?
01:05I'm going to continue to do the same. We are going to analyse the game, but we need to focus on the next one.
01:12We cannot change this one and the next one is massive for us.
01:15So let's focus on the next one on Thursday to play better and to win the game.
01:21Ruben, you obviously made a lot of changes tonight.
01:25There was obviously a counter-lapse risk ahead of Thursday. Any regrets about that?
01:29No, nothing, nothing, because we did mistakes and they were better.
01:34Even if we put a different eleven, we don't know the results.
01:40But then we had to make choices and we played three days ago.
01:44And you can see with Josh, he was fresh but he had some problems.
01:49So sometimes we need to make choices and then we don't know the results, even with a different eleven.
01:58When Josh came off, did you have to start prioritising the second game against him?
02:02Did you make a couple more changes?
02:04Yes, I was waiting for 60 minutes more or less, but then with one stop I was getting a little bit, not afraid, but trying to avoid any more problems.
02:17With the goalkeeper situation, will he be back in consideration to start against Lyon or not?
02:24You guys have to wait.
02:26We are going to start the next week tomorrow and then I'm going to choose the best starting eleven for the next one.
02:35Mr Amarin, this result means Manchester United have the lowest Premier League points goal of the season.
02:45How do the United go from there?
02:47On Wednesday you said we have one extra second on the boards for people to bring in.
02:51Can Newcastle make sure you didn't have that extra second?
02:54The first part of the question is the reflection of our season.
02:59So we need to accept that and to move forward and try to do things so much better in the future to not have this kind of season.
03:10And then you can see some goals that they were doing high pressure and we lose the possession in some moments, in some spaces that we cannot lose the possession.
03:21So we need to improve in a lot of things.
03:24And again, our position is the reflection of our performance this season and we have to accept.
03:29Great.
03:30Hi, Ruben.
03:31At times there were some decent moves that you put together today.
03:35Can you take positives after a result like that from the better football player?
03:40It's really difficult to look at the best things.
03:44The best thing is to focus on the next one.
03:47Analyze this one but it's really hard to be here after this result and to try to see.
03:52Maybe in a few days I will watch the game and try to take that.
03:57But in this moment it's really hard to have any feeling of a good feeling about the game.
04:02Last question, Rich.
04:04Harry Amos made his first start today.
04:06What did you make?
04:07I think he did quite well.
04:11He catch a player that is really fast.
04:16He made his debut in maybe one of the hardest stadiums with one team that is really in a good moment.
04:23I think he did really well.
04:26So he needs to continue and we need to help all these young kids to perform at a higher level.
