“It’s wasn't enough goals in our eyes, and the performance could have been better. There were some aspects of the performance we did well.

‘But overall, I think we could have done better.’

“We obviously scored four goals, but we want to score more goals. We are a hungry team, and it could come down to goals at the end of the season.
