00:00Jürgen, David, just first, just get your thoughts on that.

00:12Say that again, sorry.

00:13Just start, just get your thoughts on that and tell them the points.

00:15Like, Liverpool were the better team, no complaints with that.

00:21We've had some opportunities.

00:23I thought we'd done a great job, we were resilient.

00:26I think we've now played Liverpool twice in a month, just about.

00:30I think we've ran them close in both games.

00:33Maybe we're a wee bit closer than we think we are.

00:37I thought the players did a great job tonight, in some aspects, not in other aspects.

00:43It's disappointing when you walk away with a goal which is clearly offside in a Derby match.

00:50You said yesterday that the gulf between the two sides has never been greater.

00:54You've pushed them so hard in two games in quick succession, does that give you a lot of pride?

00:58Yeah, it does because we've had a really hard game tonight and we've got hard games coming up.

01:04I feel as if it's a wee bit of a challenge to see how we can do.

01:08I have to say, the players at the moment have stood up to the challenge twice against Liverpool.

01:13I have to say, I thought Liverpool were much faster, much better tonight than they were in the first game.

01:18They made it difficult for us.

01:20I have to say, our players showed great resilience, stuck at it.

01:25We just couldn't play well enough when we got the moments.

01:29We had our chances, we had some chances, but we just couldn't quite take them tonight.

01:35Just on the goal, you felt controversial, it looked like you were in an offside position.

01:39He's offside, yeah.

01:40Have you sought an explanation for that?

01:42I've not sought an explanation, but I've said to him that I'm disappointed.

01:47I think it's quite an easy one to give as well because all our players are holding the 18-yard line

01:52and Diaz comes from behind and affects Tarky from behind, clearing it.

01:58I'm really surprised it wasn't given.

02:00Or maybe I'm not surprised.

02:05Who's next?

02:07Hi David, just wondering what you made of the James Tarkovsky challenge early on?

02:12Yeah.

02:13When he was going to the VAR, were you expecting him to be a red or stick with the yellow?

02:17I've got to say, no, I wasn't.

02:19I've seen it since and I'll explain it to you.

02:21I thought at the time it was a brilliant tackle for a Derby game.

02:27You people are all asking for it and then when you get it, you're wanting to send it off.

02:31You've got to be careful what you wish for.

02:33I thought it was a brilliant tackle, but since I've seen it and I've come back in,

02:37I think we could have been lucky that he didn't get a red because it looked high.

02:41But it depends what era you want to play your football in and watch your football in.

02:46To me, I thought at the time it looked a brilliant tackle.

02:49I think it probably was, it was a follow-through which looked worse.

02:54David, just on Michalenko, come back from injury, did he do a good job on Mo Salah?

02:58Yeah, he's done well. I'm pleased for him.

03:01Even before the game he was a little bit worried, but he was fine, so I'm pleased, yeah.

03:06If you had to pick that up, it was a big chance he missed in the first half?

03:11No, I've had a look at it and I think he just chooses the wrong side of the goal.

03:15I think the goalkeeper actually gives him the other side, which he's been scoring with quite a bit.

03:20But I thought when it went past the goal, I thought it was in in the dugout.

03:24But it hits the post, it can happen.

03:27The one thing is he's still getting some big opportunities in the games.

03:33David, you said maybe you weren't surprised he didn't get the offside call.

03:37Do you think the referee was missing a few things that didn't go your way tonight?

03:41No, I didn't think that, I just thought that.

03:44We hear a lot, but I don't think there's many managers come here and think they've got loads of decisions at Anfield.

03:49Generally, that's me, that's my opinion.

03:52And this was one tonight which I think is quite easy.

03:56He's along the line of linesmen, it's really easy to give offside.

04:00Very, very easy.

04:03I wasn't quite sure how good the linesmen done their jobs tonight, generally.

04:08I think there was some early flags, some late flags.

04:11I didn't think they'd done particularly well at it.

04:17David, you spoke earlier in the week about the gap between the teams.

04:20I was wondering what are the main things you think you need to address to start with during that gap?

04:25Well, look, we've had a few years, probably more than a few years, of not a difficult time.

04:31So I don't know how quick we can close the gap.

04:35But we're trying to find ways of doing it the best we can just now.

04:38Obviously, we've got an important summer coming up.

04:44We've got new owners who we're trying to get to know and understand what they want from us at the club

04:49and where the club is going from that point as well.

04:52But I just think that I'm so pleased with the performance of the players.

04:56Nine unbeaten coming here tonight.

04:58Nine unbeaten, playing Liverpool tonight, running them close.

05:01Maybe not the better team, but running them close, even up to the last minute.

05:05Keeping ourselves in the game, we have a chance of getting something out of it.

05:08I think they deserve a lot of credit for that.

05:12Okay, thanks.

05:13Cheers, thank you.
