Jose Mourinho

My verdict, we wanted to do more in terms of attacking.

We wanted to explore more the counter-attack.

We did that in the first half.

We had a very good control of the game in the first half.

The second half was more difficult.

In the end, with one player less, even worse, so then we had to make the right decision to fight hard to have a point.

They started strong, they pushed us hard, they pressed higher.

At the same time, we were not able to have the ball and to move the ball well.

I promise not to speak about the players that are not playing, that's why I'm not going to do it.

I prefer to say that the qualities of the players on the pitch, especially the players on the midfield,

We miss a little bit of that quality to have the ball, to start moving the ball, to start moving back from the back, to connect with the attacking players.

In the first half, we were direct.

We explored a few good positions behind the defenders.

They stopped us with a lot of folds, but folds of intelligent, experienced people like Otamendi, like company folds that the referee doesn't give because they are really...

really clever on it, but in the first half I could feel we were always dangerous.

Not with big occasions, we had a couple, but with these movements that could be the start of something important.

In the second half we didn't have that, we lost too many balls, and in the second half City were stronger than us.

I don't say because I didn't watch it on TV.

I spoke with Marwan.

He's very disappointed.
