We had to do a bit more.
We were too passive in the first half, certainly with it.
We had a few opportunities where on the counter-attack, but I felt as if we should have held on to the ball and created a bit more and had a bit more possession than what we did.
We surrendered it too quickly in the first half.
That's what we said in the second half.
Could we get out and get the next goal?
It might have been interesting.
As I said, we had one or two opportunities, but not quite there.
Well, I mean, listen, I just didn't think they did.
There was nothing in it until half an hour.
I just thought, with the standards that we have set in the last couple of weeks, we weren't there.
So, in that first half period, that's my criticism of it.
You know, sometimes away from home against a good side, then it does become difficult.
But, you know, the big decision on 32 minutes of free kick, we've been done by two set pieces, which...
As I said, when you're 2-0 in the Premier League, it's very difficult to chase.
We're all going to be one of the best teams in the world, so we're going to have to go to work and we're going to have to be better than what we were tonight to try and get anything out of the game.
It's one that you look forward to.
We're at home and taking on one of the best teams.
We'll roll our sleeves up then and get ready for it.
Steve, appreciate your time.
