TIMESTAMPS 0:00 intro 0:05 We scored a good goal and had more chances to get the equaliser, first half was not as good as the second. 0:54 We need to do everything we can to play two good halves. We are working hard in the transfer market to improve the squad. 1:36 I think we have done a lot right with Richarlison, every club has injuries, it’s something for the football authorities to look into. 2:29 Disappointing to be knocked out of the cups. We wanted to do everything we could to win the game but we faced a good Villa team that had two great moments 3:29 The momentum we had in the second half, had more passion and energy than villa. 4:09 It is disappointing, we are all hurt. We want to do more to get through to the next round. We went full strength 5:01 I don’t think players are losing control, it’s all about keeping a cool head, they gave everything out there. Ollie is very provoking, he walks into Joao, he could walk around Joao. 5:49 There was one game with Watkins last season but I don’t want to speak about Villa. 6:33 You need to play with passion, sometimes you play to the line. 6:52 We had a lack of depth and quality on the bench. We didn’t have a midfielder on the bench. 7:49 we have to start performing to get fans onside. We could see second half, the fans and players were fantastic second half @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
