 What are the difficulties after being on the street for you and the club? Yeah, poor performance, poor result. Very clear. Not good enough for Everton, no. And the scenes at the end there, can you focus through? Well, I think firstly the fans have a right to be disappointed. They've come down here twice this week and seen poor performances. And before that we've been going OK and then they see performances that they don't like. When we're pleased that they're happy after Palace, when we're pleased that they give us a welcome, we have to understand that they can voice their opinion and their opinions are right today. So, I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding. Alex had some friends that he was concerned about that were sort of at the front of the fans. There's nothing in that. And the players just have to accept that the fans have a right to voice their opinions. And again, they were right today. The shirt that came out, the shirt throw. I didn't see all that. I didn't see all that bits. No, I wasn't comforting anybody. I think what was important today that the players go over to the fans because they travelled down, they have to all go over. And the players, albeit the performance wasn't good enough, they're not bad lads. You know, they're disappointed. And there's things we need to speak about. On a footballing level, they're not bad lads. I wasn't comforting anybody. It was just a case of going over and then coming back off. Did you go over there with the intention of speaking to yourselves or did you do any reactions? To speak to who? No, no. It's not a moment to speak to the fans. Listen, it's not a nice moment. But sometimes you have to suck it up in terms of being humble about the fact that the performance wasn't good enough. So, you have to go over. And it's not a moment to clap and cheer or whatever. We get that. We have those moments other times. It's a moment to go over and show, certainly appreciation, not the word, the fact that they're there. And it wasn't good enough. Every footballer has been through those moments, have been there many a time and it's just important that the players went over. And I think the rest was just pure emotion, which is, I think, understandable at the same time. What did you get going today? Well, the performance was poor. It was below par. And in the Premier League, you get beaten for that. A mistake for the first goal. The referee should disallow the second one. It shouldn't stand. You've got to stop the game. We got told this against Palace a few weeks ago. The defender goes down with a head injury. The game stops whilst the ball's in the box. The referee got that one wrong. But it's not one to hang on, because our reaction after that wasn't right. But it is difficult coming back in a way, going back two-nil down. It gives the fans and the opposition a lot of impetus. But on our part, it wasn't enough. Was there a reason you waited so long to bring forward, or was there a reason? Yeah, he's broken his hand. So at the minute, he's carrying a bit of an injury. He played here on Tuesday with a broken hand, carrying it a little bit. He came off early. So he's not in prime condition to probably have come on and affected it. If he would have done, if he would have been, maybe he'd have come on earlier. I haven't really, I haven't really hung on it too much. I saw it briefly. I thought it may be a red. I haven't gone back to it. Yeah, yeah, completely. Because this is the Premier League, and if you're not going to have intensity in your game, we've shown games when we've had it, we had it last week against Leicester. We had it against Palace. Generally, it aligns itself to better results. And if you drop it, then that's not enough. That one is on the players. And I know I have to sit and take responsibility, but there's not a moment where I ask for less intensity. It's actually the opposite. So the players didn't deliver that today. How would you reconcile that with the Palace? It was only last month, wasn't it? And then you played for the third. You fatigued and created chances and took the chances. Do you want it more than Palace? Well, it's a lack of consistency in simple terms. And I think some of that, unfortunately, is a bit the norm. Palace lost 3-0 since then. They've gone a master few points, teams around our area get that. But we can't look at anyone else other than ourselves. And for me, that's always the same of training consistently at a higher level, even when you've won a game and you think you might be on top of the world for a minute. So if any player wants to come off a little bit or get an idea that everything's fine, this Premier League will kick you. And it's kicked us since that game. We drew it for them. I thought we'd played all right at Leicester. We could win that game in different circumstances or not lose. But these two games are not good enough. You're wide-played as you start with today. I think one accurate cross and over. I mean, I know we're not necessarily playing towards the target, but when you were put on cross into the box and you were over here too. Yeah, it was a day like that. And, you know, it's not, you know, Damari came on and really freshened up the game the other day. And then today, when you're trying to get in those areas and cross it, it wasn't, we weren't on point today. And nothing was really on point. I can't stand here and say anything else other than, yeah, when we got in crossing positions, you had the feeling with their level, their quality today and their energy that whenever we're getting those areas, they would deliver the clinical moments to get a goal. With us, you didn't have that feeling today. Are we? Are you okay? Yeah? Yeah? We'll just do three extra questions for the Mondays. Okay. Please. The amount of performance like this is another one just around the corner and managers say, get out of our system and get another game. You've got this break now. How tough is that to have this break? Because you have to contemplate that. Maybe it's not tough in a sense of the old adage of, you know, next game a few days ago, we can put it right. But at the same time, this is a long season that we're 15 games into. So I think taking stock is not the worst for all of us and the players to come away from it for a bit. The disappointment of where we could have been in the league off these three points and that is there. That's clear. Like that would have been really nice to go off on a positive note, but at the same time, we've got a lot more games to think about. So maybe some time for some players to start making a case for playing better, for getting in the team, all these things. I'm not against the fact that the natural break is here now. We have to deal with it in the right way. Would it be tough on you to have that distance now? No, I think when you do this job, you have to be ready for everything. A good win, it gives you good feeling. Maybe go out for dinner and you're happier. A loss, it doesn't. You stay in thought. Those things happen a lot. The main thing is how you get back on the horse and how you start working again and doing the right thing. So just the fact of not having a tight turnaround is not the worst thing. It's a good moment to reflect on what's been good, what's been not so good and where we want to get to and how we're going to get there. So it will maybe be a good chance to get a bit more clarity on some of those points as well. Last thing you want to get yourself back into the relegation by the players? Well, what's the reality of football? You have to work hard to try and get a step and a step and we were in that for a reason last year and in one transfer window where we lost a big player for us is maybe not going to put us in position. We go, it's all fine now. It probably doesn't work that way. So we have to keep working in the meantime to get results. The fact that we're in a relegation battle, I think everyone put us in a relegation battle. It's all I've read pre-season. It was like, yeah, Chelsea, Everton are in this battle. I was favourite to be sacked. Five managers have gone. That's the nature, the beast of what we're working. So what we have to do is keep our heads down and keep working and try and show reasons where we can amass points because the picture changes quickly. Two weeks ago, we were sitting there, people were talking about top half of the table and now people are looking downwards. So I'm the first one that's got to stay pretty stable on that, I'd say. How strong is the score? Very quickly. And then with Pickford, it's been the same. Obviously the mistake for the first goal has been part of the roller coaster. Yeah, Jordan's an amazing goalkeeper and he's made incredible saves for us since I've been here and before and he's the reason why I trust him so much and why Gareth trusts him so much. I put no focus on that today. It was part of the game today, yeah, for sure. But it has no bearing on me and anything going forward. Thanks.
