“Massively disappointing, especially because of the first-half performance, but it’s happened too many times where Man City started the second half better than us. That can happen against a good team, but what you can’t do is concede two goals in the manner that we did so quickly, one after the other. And again, it comes down to resilience in difficult moments and seeing those moments through and making sure you’re still in the game.
“[The] second-half performance was nowhere near what we wanted or what we expected at half-time. The way I coach, I try to help the players in the moment. There was no frustration in the first-half performance. I felt in the first half, our defensive structure, we were organised, we were very difficult to break down. In transition moments, we were a threat. [But] there’s too many times in a short space of time where we go a goal down and then quickly followed by another. And that’s something that just can’t happen moving forward.”
“First half, I felt we actually were very, very good today. Same against PSG for 75 minutes, but then we concede and then the cards start to fold.”
