ASSESSMENT OF THE MATCH
“We deserved more, we were the better team but we didn’t score. I think we played one of the best matches of this season and it was significant that the fans were applauding a draw. Normally they are not applauding a draw but they were applauding because this was an exciting game.”
A MISSED OPPORTUNITY
“They were very well organised I think, and nevertheless we have created a lot of chances in the first half but also in the second half. But you have to finish and the last pass has to be better. Then also with the set-plays, we knew in advance that it is very difficult to stop them and we had to stop them from those set-plays. But you have seen a very good team and that is why the fans are applauding because it was a great match.”
VIDEO REPLAYS WOULD HELP REFEREES
“I have said already last week and for 30 years that we need a video referee and even when you don’t see the video with Memphis, for example, you do not know whether it is in the area or not. But I have seen a penalty for [Marouane] Fellaini with [Robert] Huth, when he grabbed his hair and that was a foul. It was a penalty and the reaction of Fellaini was like a human being. Then we also have the red card maybe, for [Danny] Simpson on [Jesse] Lingard. I can also imagine why you wouldn’t whistle because it was not a heavy foul but he grabbed him also, so he could have given it.”
TOP-FOUR IS STILL POSSIBLE
“It is a big blow and it shall be very tough. It is also dependable on the result of Manchester City at Southampton, but I have said we have to win all of the matches because we have to close the gap. Now the pressure is less high for Manchester City than it was before the match against Leicester.”
