He said:"They came to make a draw and defended well for 90 minutes," he said. "In the second half we lost a bit of sharpness, could not find our fluency and gave them the chance to catch us on the break, though they always kept seven at the back."
"Everybody defends 100 percent against us and the games are very tight. If we don't get the opening, its very difficult for us."
"Even then we had the chance to win it in the last minute...a shot in front of goal from five yards," he added, in reference to Brazilian midfielder Gilberto's injury-time miss.
The Frenchman also insists that Francis Jeffers was fouled by Liverpool's John Arne Riise."I've seen it again and I don't think that Franny went down. I think he was caught on his left leg and he didn't have a choice but to go down."
