The team's performance was not up to the level they have achieved recently, with individual and collective efforts falling short. Andrews noted that the opposition's defensive strategy to stifle the game played a role in this, but also acknowledged that his team lacked conviction in their play.

Midfielder Jordan Henderson shared his team's frustration, describing the loss as a difficult one to accept. He felt that there wasn't much in the game, and that the two set-piece goals were a disappointment, as they have been a strength for the team lately.

Henderson emphasized the importance of analyzing the game and identifying areas for improvement before their next match against Newcastle.
