What people are saying
We have to turn the page very quickly and focus on the upcoming matches.
We were a bit too relaxed with the ball. We needed more energy and intensity in ball circulation.
Lorient are a good team that defend low and compactly. There weren’t many chances before the goal, and after the penalty everything was more difficult.
