Eddie Howe: Not enough support for Waltermad, he did a good job

. You will inevitably feel sorry for the team when they see them lose, but considering that the team missed the victory while leading, would you use a more stern tone?

I think sometimes severe criticism is necessary. But it depends on the situation: speaking to the team is one way, and communication with individuals is another way. If criticism is needed, I will do it for specific individuals.

What I value most is the player's efforts, commitment attitude, desire to win, and of course the team organization - a good performance requires these factors to support it. I can see the players' efforts, their investment is 100%, but today it is slightly insufficient in quality.

So I have to be very cautious and not make the team's performance, mood or morale worse. Therefore, I will reflect on it tonight and determine what to do next tomorrow.

The next game is coming so quickly, and you are going to fly to another country. Perhaps this is a good thing that will allow you to adjust your status as soon as possible.

Yes, I also think changing events may be a good thing for us - so that we can temporarily put the Premier League defeat aside, focus on the Champions League, and strive to get the Champions League journey on track.

The start of the season is really hard for us, and it feels like we have taken a lot of blows. But if we can survive these difficulties with a firm enough grit and become stronger, we will definitely gain something in the end.

Does Arsenal deserve victory?

Well, I think they have more opportunities than us and have greater offensive threats than us. From this perspective, it is reasonable for them to win. But judging by all the efforts we put into the game, such a loss is indeed a bit cruel to us.

Can Livramento play in the next game? Is it a knee injury?

I think so. There were two important penalty controversies in the game

Well, I haven't watched the video of these two balls yet. I feel that I have to trust VARs and believe in the review process before they make the penalty. Of course, I hoped that the penalty would be awarded at that time - I saw their hands raised, but I didn't know what happened before, and I only heard about it later.

There seemed to be some small friction at the last moment, and you were also involved. Did the staff say anything to you at that time?

is nothing, I don't think it's a big deal.

Is it especially necessary for you to stand up and gather the team and stabilize morale now? After all, the start of the season is indeed challenging.

Yes, you're right. I also agree with this view: football is such a sport full of variables. Sometimes you feel that you deserve better results, but things go against your wishes. But when you see the players put their all their strength and devote themselves to it, they see the desire to win and the sense of responsibility they show day after day.

And you should know that the momentum, rhythm and confidence of the game are interrelated. So my responsibility is to help the team rebuild their confidence a little, so that everyone can step onto the field with good condition and full of confidence, and be clear about the high-level performance our team can perform.
