But also, get yourself in that box to score goals.

Terrific.

Yeah, I went to a three-man in midfield really just to get us a screen because Ozil was playing in the pockets and I wanted Wolves to get in and around him.

In Matty James, I've got a player who I thought was magnificent tonight, but it's his first Premiership game in two years, and I wanted then Daniel and Wilfred to get up close to their midfield players, and then Inacha, hopefully in the last 10 minutes, to have the space and to play on the back of Xhaka.

Of course, I have to look at my own decisions, but you make them decisions for the right reasons, and ultimately, that's not what's cost us.

It's actually from the set plays.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think you've always got to look for some positives.

There won't be many because it's a results business.

And if you've got any doubt, ask.

Ask the players, come on, what am I doing?

What am I doing?

What am I doing?

And I think it's that information that you need to pay out.

pay attention to, but we also need to take a lot of credit in terms of our performance.

It is the first game, so we're not going to be too downhearted.

Of course, tonight you can look at it and say we've come away with a defeat, but we have to be positive because it is the first game.
