Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
Erik ten Hag, also not particularly happy, talks to BT Sport. “We had the game in hand … we were 2-0 up … we should have scored three or even four … the game was totally on us … we had some unlucky moments with injuries … some subs with injuries like Rafa at half-time … also Anthony Martial we had to sub him because it was his first start … Antony and Bruno were on a second booking … so we had to make some subs and lost control at an unlucky moment … we switch off … then another unlucky moment with Martinez and we are with ten … then we conceded two own goals, it is bad luck and we have to deal with it … of course we have to learn to kill the game … but still everything is open for the next game … if you don’t get the third and you get some injuries, you lose some rhythm in the game … we played the first half very good, a lot of belief, we scored two great goals and should have scored even more … we can do better in the last part of the game … we had to be more composed … we did not benefit from our counter opportunities … we were a little bit unlucky in the defending … two own goals from deflected shots … it’s not a nice night … Martinez dropped out in a moment with no opponent involved, so it doesn’t look that great … Rafa is an injury he has complained about for the last couple of weeks so we have to see how it is now.”
