"Painful, tough afternoon for us. I thought when we scored, we would go on and dominate, but we never capitalised on that momentum. The first half fizzed out and, in the second half, we were second-best. I didn't like our performance. Technically, we were poor."
"We have to really look at ourselves and make sure we learn from all the mistakes we have made, and we made a few today. This has happened before, it isn't a one-off."
"We have some massive games to come. Week to week, we are able to train and get that freshness back. It's going to need a lot of character to respond. We never give up, we always go for what we can."
