Rating the game
"If you play at Stamford Bridge and create so many opportunities like we are today, this is the positive side we can see from it. We conceded two goals in both games, last week against Crystal Palace and today against Chelsea, maybe it was their only chance in the first half, maybe you should praise them, unfortunately we didn't score."
Talking about Connaught and analyzing the game
"Not sure if he was injured, he felt his quadriceps discomfort, and when a player felt that way while running, the alarm sounded to me. If the game continues like this, I will replace him later anyway, because we need Heraffenberg in that position. The main reason is that he feels discomfort in the quadriceps, but we wanted to let him go when we were leading 1-0. He played that position. It worked very well, and we took the initiative in that period of the game. "
"After we tied 1-1, the situation turned to us and I was waiting for us to score the second goal. The decision could have been better, and the last 10-15 minutes was an open attack. We entered their penalty area by Robertson, but we didn't control the ball, but it was a tiny gap, like I've been going through in the years here. Last week, as in this week, two tough away games, the tiny gap wasn't on our side. "
"In both games, we created more opportunities than the teams we faced with Crystal Palace and Chelsea, but the fact is that we only scored one goal in both games, and our opponents scored two goals. "
