But unfortunately, we had a bit of pressure at the start of the second half.
We had a very good opportunity that went over the bar and next thing you know, the ball's in the back of the net from Kupi Al being very, very ruthless.
So yeah, there's loads to unpick.
I think in the moment we know that what we've produced today isn't anywhere near good enough and if you come away from any game losing, any game losing by this margin then you know you've got a lot of soul searching to do.
That's just something I think we'll keep to ourselves at the minute I think.
The positive is for me that everybody has been talking, but it's my responsibility.
It's my responsibility in terms of how we've set the boys up today and what we've produced.
That's why I'm speaking to you after the end of the game.
That's why head coaches and managers are the ones that get hired and they're the ones that lose their jobs.
That's something that I need to take everything that I've spoken about and heard in there and hopefully turn it into something positive.
I think that where we've struggled recently is scoring goals, obviously.
I think that we've had a lot of control of games where we've probably felt like we've had a lot of possession.
We drop down and we connect really well.
We get the ball in some wide areas, but no real impetus in terms of getting in the box.
And I think Ibu gives us that energy.
He gives us that energy to stretch in behind and to really connect with the centre forward.
So that's why we do what we do.
I think he's picked up a knee injury, so we're going to have to see how that one plays out, but he's just icing it in there at the minute.
