Sky have quick word with Nathan Jones. “Really disappointed with the first 20 minutes … we were really passive, we weren’t aggressive, we didn’t bounce … the goals were really, really bad … we let runners go … our midfielders didn’t track … it was suicide really … but our reaction was fantastic, we got a goal back, and in the second half we were excellent … we lacked a little bit of cutting edge … I’m really proud of the reaction, but we have to be better in certain moments because they are costing us results … we can be a really good side but things have to be better … they’ve responded brilliantly … every single game we are really, really close … if we keep the levels of performance up, we’ll be fine [in the Premier League].”
