 Oh yeah mate, it's been you a long time, are you all right? Let's start off with Vinnie, are you sure what you thought on the performance today? Defensively, very pleasing for a large part of the game. I think they had three shots on target from that point of view, it was unusual when you come here. So that side of the game I thought was very pleasing for the tactical understanding, the energy and the work ethic of the players. The frustrating part, we're still going to be wrong, it's hard to do it. They react very quickly and they're good on transient. I've said it for years, it's not just the way they play, their defensive side, you know the way they see the picture and how quickly they turn their transition, mental transition rather into defending when attacking, you know how quickly they react to that and shut it down. So that is a challenge, but when we had their moments we didn't keep the ball, we didn't find the pass, it's necessary to to bring you into the game offensively as many times we needed to. And equally when they play the high line to try and pressure you, we didn't find the passing behind, you know it's a big frustration of mine, we can't, you know it's something we need to challenge the players with constantly here, is to find that passing behind because you know we've seen it in recent weeks, a lot of teams now trying to do that, it's an idea of pressing, which we do as well at times, you know we're pressing a higher line. So you know seeing the picture is difficult, easy for me to understand quite obviously not so easy when you're at pitch level, but that's part of the challenge, turning defensive, good displays defensively and challenges you have to turn them into offensive displays as well. In those moments is it belief as much as anything? No, I think it's moments of quality, I think it's moments of you know finding, I mean it can be a big ask, you know a big task rather for players because when you when you're in defense mode to break from that, you know and go into attack mode and break your shape and use the players to break that up, you know that that can be a big challenge, you know and here you do have to defend right everyone knows that and I think as I said I think that's one of the the main things, one of the best things that Guardiola has done for me is he gets a team of really high technical players but they work very quickly in transition and I think that's what makes them so good and I think it was and the other thing is the belief in finding a moment, I mean I think it was 71 minutes first shot on target, they score a goal, you know and and that's the thing, they are capable of doing that and if the 11 out there ain't doing it they've got a bench that ain't bad as well if you know this. You seen the first goal back as well was it a corner? I'm not going to start with all that, you know it's the same old adage, everyone manages been saying it for years, you come to these grounds you don't often get the decisions so it's not a major surprise it doesn't go for us but I'm going to start debating you know an inch here and there although it costs us of course, could have I think what I am you know yourselves referees at the time they just you know shout whichever way they think I don't think there's that much thought into it could it go for your way etc etc hopefully it does but very rarely at these places. Ultimately though today isn't going to determine your fate in the season so what's your message to the players? Well I think we certainly remind them of the positives from it because I think our defensive framework has been strong and I think there's always something to build on but I think we're asking the side of more quality moments you know I think we've got some very good technicians and good technical players but the final pass the final moment of truth you know it's they're the things that the highest demand of the game is on you know the structure and organisation often the things you can affect and I think the players are taking that on board and delivering it the moments of truth are the hardest thing to coach and manage you know you get them chances you get the moment to slide the parts you get the moment to finish and they're the moment so we've got to continually look to find and continue to look to build on. Finally for me the other positive I suppose minutes for Onanna after a couple of weeks? Yeah I thought he did well when he came on he looked bright and he's but he's looked bright around the place you know coming back from injury and Gamma's works have us a hard again Jimmy as well you know I think two good performers in there and Seamus gets a few more minutes you know we're beginning to get full fitness back it's going to be important over the remaining games of the season and we'll hopefully have better news during this week on Duke as well being out in the grass. I'm sure Jack Bramford seems to have matched up with Harlan today was that deliberate or just the way things unfolded and how did you think? No no I don't do things on individuals I've always done things on the team framework sorry you know if we get ourselves in the right positions and we get ourselves in the right organisational footprint if you like that's more important than the individuals the players at this level they should know about the individual they're playing about you know against without any knowledge from the staff of course we increase that knowledge but they should really know and I thought the defensive unit did well again today in many parts of the game. Yeah that's going to ask us I mean I know Harlan scored a few goals but for a long time in that game for Bramford you played a good job on him. Yeah but that's what he is who he is you know he doesn't have many touches some games but he scores and and I think that's the the key you know I must say you know he's finished for the first one there's no other thought you know I've been speaking to the players recently this kind of ungrowing thing about football scoring trendy goals you know whippers dippers glibs of said he didn't think about that just score a goal so that's the trendiest thing you'll ever do score a goal and he showed that today just back that's it good technique smashes it don't worry about anything else and the second one was Jared's a bit unlucky it's a tangler legs not remotely saying it's a foul it is literally a tangler legs I don't know that he might get a foul and nowadays who knows with football but he stays calm and he slots in the corner you know and he's his conviction and he's running to get there and his power and he's running to get there that's why he is who he is and does what he does as you say there's not much you can do in those moments against howlanders it's the key to stop him getting the ball and is that what you did so well for the first 71 minutes um no that wasn't the game plan the game plan is about a team performance you know he's won a very good group of very good players like I said you saw the bench and they're bringing off the bench that boy de Bruyne does all right you know I'm already first came here so you know there's some power in that side I think the focal point idea is helpful for them and the challenge for the teams but I think there's a lot more to the side than just him Paddy Sean you mentioned that you feel the squad has got some good technicians but why do you think the goals have dried up recently I think it's four in the last eight games yeah well I'd say that they're the moments of truth you know getting in the right air as the shot count remains I'm not so much today obviously it's tough to come here and dominate that we all know that I think they're beating as well here this scene so you know it gives you a measure where they're at um you know that that's the moment of truth you know and that's why often then players here have done that down their careers in varying positions not just the centre forwards and that's why players haven't been worth fortunes you know and our players are still in that growth mode I think not all of them they're some a bit more mature there's a lot of them still growing on a reference that term after the game all the details of the game have to be adhered to and the final moment of truth is often the one that you challenge to to be the best at and that's a calmness a belief in your technique and a belief in what you're doing the training ground so that when your chance comes that automatic behaviour kicks in you know you're not you're not searching for it because it's already there how much of a challenge is going to be now going from this kind of game where city obviously dominate the ball mainly to let's say crystal palace at home which is the next match yeah we've been on the opposite side of that recently um so yeah we we understand the challenge of a premier league season most of the players do there's a couple of learners but generally speaking there's enough depth in our squad um experience that is um the depth of experience to understand that each game plays out differently but the brain the framework and the belief in what we do has to be intact I think it is I think you could see that today find in the key moments that's the next level and we've been searching for that all season just the final one for me when do you expect Danjouma to be back it's not going to be well I'll be very surprised if it's a matter of a week or two I think it'll be longer than that so we're just hopeful really that this up's down but he's he's going along a lot at the moment okay thanks fox thanks everyone I'll see you later
