00:00 It's not his mistake, it's our mistake.

00:02 Or do you call it a mistake? I don't know.

00:04 But it's how we play.

00:06 Make a change.

00:08 He's scored goals for us

00:10 doing what he does.

00:12 You know, it's one of those.

00:14 It's not an issue. You might find it more of an issue.

00:16 But honestly, I don't.

00:18 I really don't. It's

00:20 how we like football.

00:22 Now it might not be for everyone.

00:24 Not here to please everyone.

00:26 But we believe

00:28 in this way of football.

00:30 It might be naive, like I was saying earlier on.

00:32 I don't know.

00:34 I have a three year old girl

00:36 who still believes in rainbows and unicorns.

00:38 Maybe that's for me.

00:40 You know what I mean? I honestly believe we're going to get out

00:42 of this situation. I believe we're going to

00:44 stay up. I really do.

00:46 You know, and like I said,

00:48 maybe I might be naive or maybe I'm the one believing

00:50 in rainbows and unicorns and it's actually got to my head

00:52 and it's actually a real world.

00:54 But at the same time, I don't honestly

00:56 have no issue with it.

00:58 I'm always top.

01:00 Top. Get the ball again.

01:02 Get it again. Look for the pass again.

01:04 You know, see the save he makes in the last minute?

01:06 Top.

01:08 That to me is a goalkeeper.

01:10 We all make mistakes.

01:12 There ain't anyone in this room, there ain't anyone

01:14 anywhere who doesn't make a mistake.

01:16 It's how you respond from it. And to me,

01:18 that's why I got nothing but

01:20 praise for him even more.

01:22 Because he's willing to keep going.

01:24 Don't worry about it.

01:26 That's life. I think a lot of players

01:28 have that. I don't think you can get to

01:30 top level football if you don't have that.

01:32 You make mistakes

01:34 like he would have made numerous

01:36 mistakes all through his career and his development

01:38 to get where he is now.

01:40 And I believe that's why you see the top players

01:42 playing at this level.

01:44 Because mistakes are part of the game.

01:46 You know, and like I said earlier,

01:48 it's life as well.

01:50 You know what I mean? But it's how you respond from it.

01:52 Being a goalkeeper as well,

01:54 I'm not a goalkeeper so I'm not...

01:56 It's easier for me, I can make a lot of mistakes

01:58 in the game when I was playing.

02:00 And I'd be very lucky if one of them

02:04 ever counted in a goal.

02:06 That was the luxury of playing higher up the pitch.

02:08 That's why I probably spent most of my time being there.

02:10 But yeah, as a goalkeeper

02:12 as well, I think you always

02:14 look at the strength of character before anything.

02:16 What's he like after a mistake?

02:18 And I don't believe there's any goalkeeper,

02:20 especially a top level, who hasn't got a strength

02:22 of character once he's made a mistake. Otherwise they wouldn't be there.

02:24 They would have been found out a lot earlier.

02:26 And maybe

02:28 this type of level football wouldn't be

02:30 for them. So that's not a concern with Arrow.
