-TIMESTAMPS-
0:00 Intro
00:20 - Saddest but best moment as Arsenal manager.
00:48 - Stand by comments: 100 percent.
01:20 - What do you need to do to change?: Things didn’t go our way.
02:11 - Nobody can predict. Loads of random things in football.
02:55 - Lifting the players: This is where we are, to be apart of this journey.
03:16 - Guard of honour: They deserve it. That’s sport. When’s someone’s better you need to applaud.
03:46 - Message to players: in the manner we went out, we felt proud.
04:18 - close to unlocking door: We are there. The amount of points we generated the last couple seasons, we could have two premier leagues.
04:50 - Luck against you?: You need factors. It’s fine margins.
05:18 - Liverpool, sending message: It’s about this season, we need to earn it.
05:40 - Motivation: Something needs to drive you, pain is a good thing.
06:18 - It’s apart of sport. It’s the cycle of sport.
06:39 - One of the best not the best?: Up to you if you take it literally.
06:55 - Step up in level: in the champions league definitely but we wanted to win it. Premier league we took a step backwards.

09:11 - Criticism: Not winning trophies bothers me.
09:33 - message to fans: thankful for their support. It was a great journey which we wanted to continue. We need to lift the standards.
10:24 - I don’t judge that. Success and failure aren’t part of my vocabulary.
10:54 - Need a 25+ goalscorer: If you score over 90 goals, you have a high probability of winning the league.
11:35 - Do I have to make it more clear. I told you in the room, I made a statement and it continues.
12:16 - Hardest players to find?: probably. Not many in the premier league. Well certainly improve but first improve the ones we have.
13:10 - Excited for summer?: Very much. Players will be fit and we are super stronger. Very positive.
13:43 - Words to judge progress: Assess what we do, is it merit or luck? You can beat a team 4-0 then lose 2-0 to a team at the bottom.
15:06 - Nwaneri: Context can change quickly.
15:35 - Consistency: What kind of behaviours we need to do. The standards are so high.
