Oliver Glasner: “You could see that the boys tried everything. I’m happy with the performance – we put a lot into it and ran almost 120 kilometres. We’ve never played together in this formation before. We’ll now recover well and be 100 per cent ready for Thursday [against West Ham].”
Makoto Hasebe: “We started the first half well but were lacking in the final third. We’re strong on the counter-attack but we weren’t able to show that today. It wasn’t enough overall – we should have defended better. For Thursday we’ll have fresh players available again and need to show a different face than we did today. We managed to do that last week, too. We’ll win the game.”
We have to do better on Thursday and we will.

Timothy Chandler: “We didn’t play a bad game, but we lost the ball twice in front of our own box and were punished for it. Bayer certainly deserved to win. We’d have liked to have got a positive result – the points would have been important. We have to do better on Thursday and we will.”
