On the red card for Lucas Paqueta: "Allow me to speak with Lucas first and try to understand why. Even with one man less the boys had a bit of fight. The spirit and the desire was there in a day that was very sad for us as a club. The passing of Billy Bonds affected everybody and we wanted to change the atmosphere with our actions. The boys gave it a fight so let's keep on going."

"No I don't think [we've gone backwards]. We have quality in the squad to win much more games."
