‘The first five minutes of the second half, of course, were hard to take but the rest of the second half we played good football and we should be out of sight, really.
Football is about getting the ball into one net and keeping it out of the other and we have not been able to do that. We couldn’t hold it out.
‘That cost us because we played some really, really good stuff.
