 Take away was that a lot of the performance was right against the top side, but as you saw you get punished because if you make the slightest mistake they do punish you. I thought until their first goal, our shape was good, we knew we'd have to give up the ball and work out of possession. We did it so well at Brighton, different side today, they can open you up in different ways I think with all due respect to Brighton, these can open you up in many different ways which they did in the end, but a lot of the early performance was very good, the shape was very good, we wanted to build on the idea at Brighton when we could counter, we did on many occasions without the same final detail. We argued we had the best chance until then with Mason Algate from a set piece, but I think sometimes you've got to be realistic with the opposition because I thought they were terrific at what they do, they went out standing in the way they battered teams sometimes but they find the moments and the first goal was a very clever finish, very clever bit of play, the second one's knocked down football and they do it well again, topside, reacting to the game, reacting to what they had to do because they played in front of us, they didn't really ask too many questions, they stretched the pitch, get the bits, cross finish, simplistic football but done with detail and then it's very difficult from there on in, but no lack of will, no lack of demand, I thought the players, I thought there's some outstanding performances actually, I thought Dwight Maneal was absolutely outstanding, I thought Duke's constant energy, Conor Cody came on and affected it with the change of shape, part of his growing again, maturing as a player and I said that all along he's earning the right to be a proper Premier League player and he's done terrific since he's got in the side, these are good signs about a group and Amber came on and tried to affect it, their mental is important and it's important over the next two games because they're not, they're very tough games for different reasons but you're playing the topside there, top topside. How big is the concern? Well I had to make a call on X, he felt he was calling it, it's tight groin but tight groins can lead to damage groin so I had to make a call on it as simple as that and it would have been harder call, it had been 0-0, we've got to be honest but at 2-0 I have to make a call and I have to go right, Tom you're coming off, he wanted to give it a go, I said no, no, no, you've got to come off. And was it just a game smooth, was that possible? Yeah, we're just trying to, yeah, we're just trying to protect the situation by then, you know, you guys three down now it's like well okay we need to protect the situation where we can and also change of shape, change of view point, you know, can something affect the game but very difficult against it, you know, we played, we affected it with a change of shape but I thought we did that well with the ball but at the end of the day they're 3-0 up, you know, these are clever players, they've contained the game really with, we've opened them up on occasions but not enough to damage them and yet again they show their prowess in both ways, in possession, out of possession, that's why they're a top side, that's why arguably everyone thinks they'll win the league, arguably could win the Germany's league, whatever, you know, they're capable of winning anything they're going for. And where are Nicolay, Co, Gottry and Tom Dainson in their games? Yeah, Tom hopefully will settle down this week, Ben I think it'll be, we're waiting to see but it's not ready, Miko we're waiting to see as well, it's only just happened and that was another thing, you know, we discussed a change of even the text of shape and everything but, I mean, the player gets injured 20 minutes to go in a session and it's a lot of ask then to start changing the shape when you've got 20 minutes to work on it before the end of the session because obviously you've got to go in the next day, so that was a tough one and then Dom out to make a call on during the game. What are you talking about, Sean? Where he always just didn't even, he was complaining about something, me and I was doing during the game, he wouldn't really say what he said, he was doing it all the way through the game. Did he say anything to you, do you know what it was about? No, he didn't say nothing to me, no, I wasn't aware of anything. Did he seem to, he had words for it with me and at the end of the game on the pitch? I don't know, I was in the dressing rooms, I've no clue, I've no idea of that, certainly nothing was sent from any of that bench to me. You mean he didn't say anything to you either? No. Sean, would you have any idea what he could be talking about as in, he said, he means it was the sort of time, but he doesn't need to do it every game. If he did it all the time, he don't know to see him, because I haven't seen him on the pitch for weeks, so I don't know when he was doing it, he must have been watching videos or something. I haven't seen him in that long, so yeah, I wouldn't know where he'd seen it from. And the idea of him on the manager coming on to the pitch and talking to one of your players, how is that behaving? No, I don't, every manager has their own way of operating, I'm certainly not going to be questioning Pep Guardiola. I wouldn't expect managers to question me, they do, but I choose not to. So I wouldn't question any manager, they can all do their business how they wish to do it. I only want to do it the best they can for Everton Football Club. Sean, you said you had discussed the change shape before the game with Nicolet and Cozindy, why didn't you go for that? Well, it was such a good performance at Brighton, you know, Mason's played full back here before, trying to protect him in that role and just getting him to stay there, but it didn't work as well as we'd hoped, obviously. But at the end of the day, it was such a good performance, everyone knew what they were doing, everyone knew kind of similar game plan against a high possession side, different obviously, but all due respect to Brighton, I think these are another step and it's how many times we could react on counter. And I thought we showed real signs of it again in the first half and broke the play well and when we did, looked an effective force but couldn't find as much detail in our counters as we did at Brighton, quite obviously, effective from set pieces again, I mean even second half of the game has got away from us, but I think we have two big chances from corners, you know, they're all part of a performance, so yeah, it was more that than anything. From what you saw after the change in the second half, is that a viable option? Yeah, I don't think it's, I don't think it's a case where it's not been viable, I just think, you know, as many players as you can get in the right slots, as many players as we can find to be effective, you know, for a big sort of noise about a waveform and just taking five points from three away games, you know, that has to be factored in, because the side we're doing the right things and, you know, unfortunately when Miko's injured, just, just, oh, the balance of the group. And we felt that we could give a performance again and save it until their goal. I mean, it's easy to say now, but I thought it was the right performance. I thought they were slowing their play and they couldn't really break in, that didn't really do anything of any note really until their goal. But then, like the top sides do, they score one, they score two very quickly and then the game's, you know, it's hard to get away from them. The third one kills you, obviously. You know, if you can nick the third one, the noise in the crowd and the feeling of the crowd, then you never know. You know, even with their level of play, they just get a bit edgy sometimes, you know, but when they score the third, very, very difficult from there and then to get back in that game. You highlighted the right performance at the start, so what were you impressed with, in particular? Everything is commitment to it. His ability to deal with the ball, his ability to be adaptable and, you know, he had to play deeper at times because of, you know, Mason's not a natural right back. And then his ability to change the shape and still be effective. So, I mean, he's been terrific since I've been back. Oh, sorry, I said I'll get back with him. He's been terrific and, you know, I want him to keep enjoying. He's also taken it on. I thought Brian actually took it on. You know, he's a player still maturing in my view and he's actually grabbing it, grasping it and taking it forward and making things happen. And that's very pleasing for him and very pleasing for us. Any further questions?
