Could you have done better on the goal?
Yes, especially because we spoke during the preparation of the match and we spoke again at half-time.
We know this crosses from the middle positions, crosses from the inside, not crosses from the goal line.
And we know the circular movement from the striker, sometimes in front of the defender, sometimes behind.
So that's exactly what we were speaking in the dressing room now, that a game where the first team to win normally wins, we concede a goal in a situation where we could control.
Are you happy with the number and the quality of chances you've created?
I don't know the number, I don't know the quality.
I was on the bench following the game and not counting.
I think we had chances.
I think we had chances.
If I remember Matic had in the face of Courtois, if I remember Lukaku's shot in the first half, if I remember in the last part of the game, everything we had with Rashford's shot and...
And Courtois, without any chance, the cross to the far post to Fellaini again, Fellaini chest and volley, the consequence of that, we had lots of chances to score a goal.
You mentioned Lukaku.
No touches in the opposition box in the game today.
Would that be a concern?
It's not a concern, you know.
Concern.
He had the possible performance that he had.
He gave everything like he always gives, and when the players do that for me, for me that's the most important thing.
If you're happy with the performance today and the effort from your players, are you concerned, though, at this stage of the season, about the size of the gap that Manchester City are starting to open up, not just against you, but against all teams?
