We basically went at them for 60 minutes and thought we would score. But in the final third of the field the last ball wasn't quite there. We put them under pressure for the majority of the game, with 11 or 10 players. Sometimes it is not going to happen for you. They defended corners well and we couldn't get that last touch in and that summed up the night.
More Quotes from Steve Nicol:
Well we can't play 3-5-2 all the time. It is far too much for the two-way players. We have to get box to box which is not easy to do coming off a game down in Dallas. It was fairly straightforward. There wasn't much that we had to think about.Steve Nicol
Everybody's dejected, we're sick, we've lost. When the dust settles, we can look back on some success, but it seems pretty insignificant because we lost today.
Steve Nicol
The worst thing that can happen is for us to be out of the tie by the end of the first game. We need to get the result we are out to achieve and so we need to start by giving nothing away and then working our way into the game and getting forward. We want to keep as good a shape as we can at all times so we have to be talking and passing people on. We don't want players running all over the place, we want to stay with men. If we do that we'll be all right.
Steve Nicol
I don't think the ball was anywhere as near as good as we can. We showed some good signs but we've certainly got a lot to work on.
Steve Nicol
We aren't getting penalties for whatever reason. I thought it was a penalty myself.
Steve Nicol
We need to do our thing. Clearly they have got some players that can hurt us so we need to defend the way we have been defending and give people little room to maneuver. When you are playing against a couple of strikers like Johnson and Wolff, unless you do that, they're going to give you trouble.
