on a very bad day...
"Positive points are difficult to find because
overall we were not up to the level of the game. We know that and
the players know that aswell. It is difficult to find positives in
our game. The only one I can see is that we do not have anymore
injuries than we had at the start of the game."
on the rest of the season...
"The targets that are in front of us are very
clear. They are the Premier League and the Champions League. We are
not in a position where we have to make a choice. We just have
balanced fixtures now. We need to pick ourselves up quickly because
we have a massive game on Wednesday night."
on ever having serious thoughts of a treble...
"Not really but you try and make a choice as
late as you can. It is a difficult to swallow for the players today
because it looked like we did not have the physical resources to
come back into the game. We need to recover quickly because we need
to be at our best to beat Milan."
on concern over Nani's juggling...
"And rightly so. Nani had a very good game
today but it was not needed. It is a little bit [disrespectful].
But it can happen to a young player. I hope he learns from that and
does not do it again.."
on the red card...
"It looked harsh from outside. The game was
over after the sending off and maybe even before because we never
looked like we could come back today."
on heavy defeats in the Cups...
"At the moment it is unbelievable. When we lose
in the cup we get a hiding. We don't concede in the League but
when we do concede we do it well!"
on injury problems...
"Nobody was fit on the bench and all of them
were recommended as risky. The most dangerous player was Clichy who
I did not touch at all. The others had hamstring
problems."
on the League fixture in April...
"You will see us in a different shape when we
come back and I hope the pitch will be in different shape
aswell."
