"Our first half was below par with a slow tempo, we then conceded their goal and that was a blow too. We tried to step up a gear after the break and did better in fits and starts, creating a good chance with Dimarco. We tried everything to swarm around their low defensive block, but were unable to break them down."
"There was a lack of dynamism for us, Milan were sitting back and waiting for us to then go on the counter-attack. We need to improve and raise the tempo. We could and should have done better. The strikers are young, they didn't do what we usually require, but that is not an excuse."
