"But we could also have improved in attack. I think not even 20 per cent of our shots were on target today, so there's no miracle cure here, if you don't get it on target, you don't score goals.
“It is a pity for Raspa, who hit the woodwork after a couple of minutes and every great player has missed a penalty in his time."
