TIMESTAMPS:
00:00 Team news? Disappointing for Udogie because he’s been a big part of the year, he’s had the operation and it’s gone well, Skipp small knock so will miss this weekend, Pedro and Richarlison both available
00:50 Any positives from the break? Prefer to have games, unusual to have two weeks with no game while a lot of football is happening, tried to use it as well as possible
01:35 Three huge games this week, will you know more about the team after that? Every time you’re out there is a chance to measure yourself, I’ve got a fair idea of where we’re at and what progress we need to make
02:33 Fans don’t want Arsenal to win the league? It’s fair enough! We understand the importance of the game and to not let our biggest rivals get on top of us
03:30 Newcastle game really disappointing for us, result was poor and performance not near the levels we wanted but players have learned from it, when you’re playing in such a big game and a derby when there’s great meaning for the points the past becomes irrelevant, it will be a tough game with an edge and a great atmosphere
04:41 Biggest game since you joined Spurs? Every game is important and that’s what we try to impress on this group of players
05:24 How impressed have you been with Arteta and the project? It’s no coincidence that the teams up there recently have had a clear plan and stuck by it, Arsenal are a great example of that and Arteta has done a great job, there’s a blueprint there for every other club but not that simple, credit to Arsenal and Arteta for building a side that they think can bring sustained success
06:35 Udogie non contact injury
06:45 Shows how unfortunate you’ve been? Sometimes these things happen in football, silver lining is it happened just before the off season
07:37 Kulusevski became a dad, coping well? It’s great for him and it’s life changing, can be quite confronting
08:20 Young player Moore learning from Maddison etc
09:13 Udogie will miss Euros
09:23 How much do you think of the games as a block or take each game as it comes? Six really tough games but can’t look beyond the next challenge, I think we’ve lost focus a few times this year
10:34 Useful for next season when you’ll be playing more midweek? Not an exact replica but for us it’s a good chance to measure ourselves and seeing how we’ve handled everything come the end of the season and create a foundation to be in a better position next season
11:18 Harnessing the atmosphere? I think you have to when you’re at a big club and if you want to challenge for honours, embrace the big games and big occasions
12:17 What has your experience taught you about having something to play for at end of the season? Clearly embracing the challenge and focusing on what’s got us to this point, no point shying away from that or changing now we’ve got to most important part of the year
13:27 Yokohama qualifying for Asian champions league with Harry Kewell, great for the club
14:06 Any reason for a drop off since the start of the season? A lot of reasons, part of where we are as a team and a group, be surprised if anyone thought we’d go unblemished, had significant injuries and we battled our way through to stay competitive, last couple of months we’ve been inconsistent which is part of the process
15:25 Son has been vital in big games, has the experience of these big games and been a big game player for a long time
16:21 Losing Harry Kane and being fifth would you have taken that? No! I’d be disappointed, I don’t start any year thinking we’ll finishing fifth, don’t think anyone would say we’re in a false position
