Speaking after the defeat, Erik Ten Hag said his side needed to be better. “The injuries [are the main issue]. In January, we have a lot of players returning, so our levels can be higher. We had nine different partnerships in the back. It doesn’t matter as well; the fans don’t want to hear this; they want to see us win, and that is what we have to do for them.” He said
