“We reacted very well. We dominate the game. We create enough opportunities at least not to lose. We hit the bar. We have no luck.
“We are in a great fight. We lost to Burnley without them shooting on target, and now we lose a couple of times.
“It’s really difficult when you play against a team that defends low and wastes time. We make it difficult for ourselves by conceding the first goal.
“I think we had 15 shots, but only two on target. We need to improve our rate, that is the reality.
“We need to generate more to win soccer games. When it comes to small details, the other team wants it more.
