Thought this was a great answer from Nickeil Alexander-Walker on the correct mentality to have about earning the opportunity to close games. "If you wanna play, you gotta effect winning. For me, that's what I've learned. The best way to make sure I'm out there is 'how do I...

🗣️🎥 Xander McGuire: “Now to Michael Voss, you said on this show last week that if they suffered another loss like they did to Port Adelaide, where they got done by 10 goals and showed no effort, then he could be in some real trouble. And Michael Voss himself conceded that after the game. That was the main thing. You know, he said you can cop skill errors going forward, as they have for a number of years now, but it was the effort that really hurt. Where does this leave Michael Voss in the grand scheme of things?” Kate McCarthy: “I think the pressure on him obviously is not going to get any easier with what they dished out on Friday night. I think he said, they let the club down. For me, the microscope needs to be a little bit more on the players because you can guarantee that they were built up for that game. They wanted to pressure the opposition, but there was no response really. There was very little given at the start of the game. If that's me and I'm going out as a Carlton Football Club player, the first opportunity I have to do something that inspires my teammates or to show that I'm here, to show Collingwood that we're here to play, that's what I'm doing. And I felt like there were very few of those acts in the first five or ten minutes of that game. You struggled to set the tone. And that might be me sort of coming from a different era or a different time where that was how you showed that you were in a game. But there was very little of that for me, for Carlton. And that's on the players. That's not on the coaching staff. That's on the players to put their head over the footy, to win their one on ones, to smash their opponent if they have the opportunity to. And none of that was on display on Friday night.” Xander McGuire: “Lot of soul searching at the Blues. Charlie Curnow promised that there'd be a different unit next week.” Kate McCarthy: “Should have been a different unit this week. That's what we should have had. That's what we were expecting. It wasn't there.” 🎥 The Round So Far, AFL Media

Mikel Arteta says he ‘doesn’t know’ and his future at Arsenal doesn’t ’depend on him’ with his contract set to run out in 18 months: “Yes [can see himself extending], but it's about today, and a lot of things have to happen in the next few months as well, to earn the right. I think a manager has to earn the right to be here tomorrow, and that's how you react, how you talk here, how you go in the direction of the message that you send, how much the players follow you. “I always say that you need support; I've said it before. From ownership and the board is great. At the end, the most important one is those players. You open that door, you confront them, you talk to them, and they are like this or they are like this. “For six years, I've seen just players with a level of attention, desire to learn, and give the maximum to the team. That is what keeps me in this job, nothing else and obviously, winning a lot of football matches, percentage-wise, I think it's quite high. So that's the only way; if not, you cannot survive in this environment. Arteta asked about conversations with players as Saka and Rice and renewing their deals about his own future: “Yeah, they do ask me, but I cannot lie to them, I don't know. It's something that doesn't depend on me. “Yes, 100 percent [I am happy here], yes. But again, it doesn't depend only on me. And they have to make a decision that is based as well on what they feel about it. And again, that's another sign when you sit with a player and he's talking to you in those terms and they really want to stay. “They don't want to even listen to another option. That's a good sign because that means that the club looks after them in the right way and they believe that this is the right club for them to achieve the goals that they want in their life.”

Interviewer: "We are talking about the old Chelsea, the old competitive energy, and to play football and compete. There were seven wins and seven defeats in the Premier League here last season. How do you go about turning this place back into a fortress?" Xabi Alonso: "We need to build this. The idea, the competitive mentality, how we want to compete, how we want to play, and in every moment of the game, how we compete." Interviewer: "Four years ago Chelsea won a European trophy, then the Club World Cup, then the Premier League. They've also had two seasons finishing 10th. Where is this club now and what would you be content with?" Xabi Alonso: "I think, to be ready, the players need to be ready from the start, to make the right decisions. Football is very demanding." Interviewer: "How do you want your team to play? What can we expect from you?" Xabi Alonso: "We want to play good football. We want to be active, aggressive, and very competitive." Interviewer: "You have so many good players already. Cole Palmer has had the summer off. Have you already started to see the benefits?" Xabi Alonso: "We've already been together in training, and what I've seen is that he's come in with a good spirit. He wants to prepare himself well, he wants to forget the injuries. If we get the best from Cole, we will have a better chance." Interviewer: "There's a big stand here now, and you're just a few days away from your first game of the tour. How excited are you to be on the touchline?" Xabi Alonso: "It's still a few weeks to go. Right now I'm excited about the daily work, being with the players and working with them. That will come, for sure. I'm looking forward to it."
