Loved when he celebrated with the ball boy. Haven’t seen a manager do that in a while. Passion was refreshing👏🏾
Neil MacEwan you haven't run that fast in
years I nearly pulled my hamstring there
You can't blame you—listen you scored 72 goals for Everton
How did it feel scoring those goals compared to the three you witnessed as a manager for the first time today
It was incredible today honestly—I’ve never felt anything like it in my life Unbelievable What an atmosphere
Fergie it's Ozzie Congratulations Absolutely fantastic Did that play
out the way you expected last night when you were picking your team
Yeah I did to be honest I know we had to defend a lot
We probably just relaxed and stayed in good shape you know what I mean and actually took
our time to wind down I think we did that well I think we maintained our form really well
As you can see it was a 4-4-2 formation with coverage on their two central
defenders I thought we executed that well pressed the ball effectively and it played out wide
I couldn't believe it when he went in for the press I thought every player was absolutely fantastic
There couldn’t have been a more fantastic result You mentioned a 4-4-2
we haven’t always seen the best from Dominic whom you’ve worked with extensively
But today in your first game in charge you positioned a striker right beside him and we
witnessed his best performance yet Did you know he was capable of playing at that level
Absolutely We really like him here The goals are coming—he scored
two today His work ethic he's
always that constant threat isn't he
And of course a bit of assistance up there too with the foul in the first half
As the game progressed I thought they performed exceptionally well and set screens that were truly
outstanding for us What a transformation they brought What an incredible effort everyone contributed
Of course when they're stepping in as center-backs you've got
to make sure you're getting across I thought they were fantastic at doing that
Duncan it's Rachel Brown wrapping up the studio Well done today Are
you looking ahead right now to Manchester United Leicester Arsenal
Or are you thinking about January Are you looking at the
summer transfer window No I'm just thinking about getting home and lying down I guess
No there's no big bonus here at all I was just looking at
this game that's all We're
just capturing the moment right
It's a fantastic opportunity for us— that's the main thing
But look Duncan you loved it didn't you
Unbelievable It was an unforgettable experience—one I'll never forget
So you're heading off now aren't you to Mashiri and Marcel Branson
You'll be saying come on I loved it I enjoyed the experience
We scored three goals We won the game I'm the man for the job
No honestly I won't be saying that Really That's not what I'm
saying I'm here to stay and I'll
remain as long as they want me here
I'm certain they're out there searching for
their candidates and rightly so We
want the best people in the world running their football club But this was an incredible experience for me
Something no one can ever take from me But
this also and I don't want to speak for you is an opportunity for you to say
Look I want to be taken seriously We know you aspire
to be a manager We also know how much you love this club
If they're watching this they want to know you're the one who truly wants
the job To be fair I think they saw on the sideline just how eager I was
It's just one game just one outcome
I think I've answered that question haven't I
Absolutely Well the connection was特别 today
I think the ball boys enjoyed their cuddles
Yeah Good Lord yeah I was kissing everyone I think
Well we reckon the first ball boy got a cuddle
And then when you scored the next goal I think the one down the
touchline liked it so much he sprinted straight toward you didn’t he
Look we've got it right here see Yeah I must've
found a second wind and pushed even harder the second time
