00:00Yeah, definitely, and that's why it's quite a frustrating result.

00:17I think the game was there to win it, I think the performance was there.

00:22We deserved more, we deserved definitely more than that,

00:27but in the end, that's football, in the end there are some days where you can create chance after chance,

00:32but didn't score, and then it's also about our consistency, about having a better start.

00:38Don't try to chase the game in that early phase of the game,

00:43and then also about defending set-pieces, and therefore, yeah, we are all disappointed,

00:49but like I said, we try to keep the positive things, we try to analyse it and make it better next time.

00:57Can you talk about your sort of selection and the idea up front without Danny?

01:06Yeah, we had some small issues with Danny, we had issues with Maxime during the week,

01:11they weren't able to train fully, so that's why we chose that starting XI.

01:17I think they did it well, they had chances, all of them had chances, they created,

01:23but in the end it's very disappointing.

01:27We are now happy to have the availability back, I hope this availability creates competition,

01:32and through this competition everyone stays alive, everyone is alert for 90 minutes,

01:39and that brings us hopefully to consistency.

01:42I think it's important that he's back, I think he had a good start after a long injury,

01:52he seemed to be in a good place, now it's about getting him into his best shape,

01:57and then I think we can get the best out of this team and try to be successful.

02:05Fabian, you got off to the worst possible start but you didn't really lose your composure after that,

02:10is that one of the positives you're talking about?

02:13Yeah, I think that's one of the positives, so we reacted well,

02:16we had I think two big chances afterwards.

02:19It's a lot of theory to speak now and say a goal would have changed the game,

02:23that's why I can't use that phrase.

02:26We are, like I said, disappointed that we weren't able to score,

02:31but in the end it's also about keeping the clean sheet,

02:34and when you have such a bad start you immediately try to chase the game,

02:39that opens a little bit for Liverpool as well,

02:42and then they have some good players as well where they can make their transition moments,

02:46but overall also the phases we had in the second half, the chances we created,

02:52it's just a feeling of disappointing after these kind of games,

02:56but we have to keep pushing.

03:06No, it was planned that he can only play like 30 minutes,

03:10and I think it's always good to have a player like Mitomo on the pitch,

03:14but I can't say if he will be leading, he might change differently,

03:19so again a lot of theory, but in the end we had to make decisions like we made.

03:28Well done.
