00:00David felt like you matched City for the vast majority of that game. Were you pleased with how well you did for the first 70-odd minutes or more disappointed at the last 10 minutes?
00:13I thought for 60-odd minutes we were OK. I thought we played well and gave it a good game. I think Tarky came off with a big change in the game.
00:25I think it changed a lot of things. It shouldn't have but it did. I think our subs did make a difference. I thought our subs did.
00:38We didn't know and we tried to change. We didn't get any more control back in the game. My city got big control in the second half.
00:45The first half I thought we had done a really good job in creating a few opportunities. We played well but we just couldn't get a goal to go with it really.
00:55That triple substitution quite late on, was that more tactical hoping to try and get more from the performance? Was that more bad for the learn and look at the players in any situations?
01:04No, the injury to Tarky through is because we had to make a sub and it meant that we only had one sub left after that.
01:11If we didn't make three at the time then we were only going to make one sub else if we had to try and see.
01:17But we need these boys to come off the bench and they have done. We need them to have a big impact in the game.
01:22I have to say a lot of them have done for me since I've been here. I just didn't feel that today.
01:27I felt so much as City got a bit of joy from theirs rather than in the media today.
01:32Did you think you felt the loss of Idrissa Gueye when he came off as well? Because he was very good for that first out.
01:36I think there was a few of them. Idrissa or Jimmy both felt as if they were suffering a bit of cramp.
01:41So that was one of the bits behind that really.
01:45And have you heard anything more on Tarkovsky?
01:47What situation?
01:48What situation?
01:49Obviously not any more than that.
01:51And just finally Chimiti wasn't in the squad.
01:53Did you just ask why?
01:55The numbers didn't work.
01:57David, you said the Tarkovsky sub obviously had an impact on your team.
02:06Did you feel like you learned something from him going off and how big a presence maybe he is in the squad?
02:11Yeah, I just made a point in one of the other stations there.
02:15It's given me a chance to see what we're like without one of them.
02:18So if we had got an injury to Tarkovsky or Jarrod, it gave me a chance to see what we can do and how we can play.
02:23So I'll have some options, I'll have some choices and I'll see what it was like.
02:29But I didn't feel as comfortable.
02:31I thought we should have.
02:33I thought we should have definitely dealt with the first goal better than we did do.
02:37But we had given the ball a wee terrible moment in a simple passing in and around the box which would have made me make the difference.
02:44But I have to say the boys have done a great job.
02:47It's amazing that when I first came in here I'm now pretty disappointed that I lost the Man City.
02:53He's such a big presence.
02:54Do you think you almost lost something more in terms of his leadership?
02:57I agree.
02:58I think you could feel it.
02:59You could feel it.
03:00I think Man City sense it as well.
03:02So it's something which as a club we need to consider.
03:07Because if we do lose him, between him and Jarrod and the goalkeeper are an incredibly strong part of the team.
03:14And when one of them is out you can see that it can have a big effect.
03:18I mean, his injury now said it would be assessed but would it be an option potentially to give something like Jake O'Brien minutes?
03:25Yeah, Jake plays every game as a bit of a hybrid right back.
03:32He's doing a great job.
03:34We could have done it today but we felt they'd been changing two positions instead of one at the time.
03:38So we stuck with what we thought would have been the right decision.
03:42Now what we believe would be the right decision.
03:44Any further questions guys?
03:45No?
03:46Okay.
03:52All right?
