LAMPARD - IT WAS AN OK PERFORMANCE
“I think we probably edged the possession, and chances, maybe we edged it overall. They had better chances that were predominantly from errors and mistakes from us, which is disappointing. Other than that, I don’t think the scoreline really reflects the game. It’s just a reality for us and that’s how I see it.
“It was a competitive game and if you take the goals out of it, which we can’t, obviously, but you look at the game and there was some good stuff from us. The way we came out in the second half and kept pushing. Maybe had we got our goal, which was disallowed.
“There were a couple of defensive errors but other than that it’s probably the clinical nature of them at the top end of the pitch compared to us is a bit different. But other than that there’s not so much I can complain about really.
“They’re are a team who were really strong in the league last year and are now competing in the Prem but I didn’t see that difference in the game, personally, other than the scoreline. Again, I am not stupid and that’s the reality of it but big parts of the game I think we can go, yes, we must take that forward positively.
“We must, as always, look at the errors because some of them I really don’t like, but it’s what it is.”
