Jürgen, were you surprised at scoring three against Arsenal again,
given how deep they played early on?
OK, I didn't think about the number of goals we could score.
To be honest, I didn't expect the system they played.
I'm not sure they played it in pre-season.
I didn't see it. And that means we had a lot of space on the wings, obviously switching side,
only problem was a little bit movements in the box,
to make it more tricky for the defending side, they won a lot of these challenges in the air,
but we won a lot of second balls, put them constantly under pressure
without having the outcome we wanted, and it's always dangerous if you miss one ball,
like Hendo did in that situation, and then, with the speed they have,
they are exactly in the situation they wanted.
Adrian reacted brilliantly in that moment,
and they had a shot from Pepe of course which was a big one.
He probably could score with that situation but we had much more of the game
and you cannot avoid these situations 100 per cent against a side with the quality of Arsenal.
You need a goalie, you need blocks, whatever, but we didn't need too much,
so I was really happy with a lot of parts of the game,
I think everything we did well in the first four games we did for longer tonight,
more precise and better tuned,
and I loved the desire, the passion, the power and the energy we put into this game.
That made us really uncomfortable to play against, I would say,
and that's what we wanted, so we deserved the first goal,
that was very determined as well,
I don't know how many people were holding Virg in that moment,
but it looked like they built something around him.
But then Joel was there, big Joel, and made this fantastic goal.
I think it was a deserved result for half-time,
and in the second half, clear penalty,
we played nice passes until we were there, a lot of good football moments today,
but you need these decisive moments, the penalty was nicely taken,
and then the third goal is just incredible, really good goal.
So pretty much the story of the game, if we would have controlled it better,
that's probably our real challenge.
If it happens, it won't always happen that you're 3-0 up or whatever,
or 4-0 up like against Norwich. It's just that Arsenal didn't really press anymore,
they were deep together,
and we passed the ball straight to their legs - that makes no sense.
So we were still in an attacking mode, and we have to prepare these situations better.
We have a lot to improve, but it was a big step tonight as well, so I'm really happy.
One question and such a long answer.
LAUGHTER
Now you are afraid, eh?
Given your punishing schedule that you've had, going to Istanbul and coming back,
winning at Southampton, which is never an easy place to go,
and then you produce football like that. A lot of energy and maturity about your team.
Yeah. OK, we cannot still mention Istanbul!
1.5 weeks later. But Southampton, you're right, it was tricky,
but we enjoyed a lot the opportunity to have a week of training,
we will have another week of training and then we go to a very difficult place, to Burnley.
I couldn't have more respect for what they are doing there,
I have the opportunity to watch them tomorrow,
but it will still be different, because Burnley at home is another level,
that will be really tricky, we have a week to prepare that
and we have a week to prepare pretty much the rest of the season,
because we said it often enough, three games a week means you recover,
try to squeeze a couple of minutes out of a session to do some tactical stuff,
prepare set-pieces and go again.
That's it. And this week was completely different, we like that,
when we have another week like this I'm looking forward to it - that's it.
