In fact, were it not for missed chances they could have been better than 1-0 up. “The performance had merit except the fact that we haven’t scored more goals,” he said. “I acknowledge that we lost, but I have also to be fair. “The standard we had at stages was really, really, really high. This is the reality. I wouldn't speak so positively if it was not the case. But that’s why, regarding outcomes, I noted it's a repeating pattern. Which is why I believe a change is coming to things turning around. Currently: details, details, details.” “We produced plenty of positives that we did, like today again. The issue now comes down to performing for 90 minutes. My narrative would change the same. Therefore I am a big believer the team can to turn things around.” Opposition Reaction Outlook Danny Röhl played down talk of a serious challenge despite what appeared to be a huge result. “One match at a time, and we can gradually build a challenge,” he said. “The belief in the group is immense.”
