Kompany on Burnley's struggles after 5-0 Arsenal defeat
Transcript
00:00 How do you feel about the Arsenal game?
00:08 Yeah, just not good enough. Arsenal were better than us in every department today. It's a
00:17 tough one to take on the chin. You look back at probably the last 10, 15 games and we're
00:22 always able to draw on positives on the game. Today's one you have to take on the chin and
00:28 probably say less and make sure you get the energy back in the team for the next game
00:34 because that's all we have to focus on now.
00:37 What do you think the reason was for the things not being there that have been in recent years?
00:45 I don't know. You do get days like this sometimes and when you have a day like this and where
00:51 we are in the league you get punished and the gap shows then. For us to stay in games,
01:00 to have a chance to have results, it takes for us to have really good performances, collectively
01:05 and individually. That's what I think we've seen for a while now and today wasn't a good
01:13 day for us.
01:14 But like I say, I can see, obviously you've been in football long enough to know how these
01:23 type of games give you that really bad feeling when you leave the stadium. But we have to
01:31 focus now on building that energy back up. I know it will be easy now for a lot of people
01:37 to write us off. That's fine. It's not who we need right now. Who we need is, and I mean
01:44 the outside world, who we need is our own fans, our own players and definitely the staff
01:50 to portray that energy that we believe, that we are ready for the next game. We want to
01:57 fight for this.
01:58 Can you imagine being disappointed with a start to both halves, conceding a goal so
02:03 early and then others come out as well?
02:08 I think when you have a season and you're near the bottom of the league, you're at the
02:11 bottom of the league, you can write a story about every type of goal this season. Again,
02:20 it's something that I think would be wrong for me to start nitpicking what has happened
02:24 in every goal. I don't think that explains the story of this game.
02:28 The Liverpool game you can say two set-piece goals and otherwise you play a very good game
02:32 and you can get a result, two big chances. Today not. That's why the only focus for me
02:39 is to not let this game drag and have full energy towards the next game.
02:48 How is Aaron Ramsey doing?
02:54 It didn't look good. I can only hope for him for it not to be as bad as it looked and for
03:01 him to hopefully have a speedy recovery. I can't say much more at the moment.
03:05 Do you know what happened?
03:08 No, I can see what everyone saw. It looks like something happened with his knee but
03:14 it's too early to find out. It's too early to know.
03:18 Thank you, take care.
03:22 Did it make a difference to you being on the touchline?
03:27 I'd have rather be there with the team, even on a tough day.
03:31 Take care.
03:33 Thank you.
