"It was a very intense game with complete commitment from both sides. The team have shown great mental resource, we refused to give up.

"When you are 1-0 down, it is a mixture or relief and regret because if we were really clinical we would have won it in the last 15 minutes - (Olivier) Giroud had the chances to score. But if I try to be fair I must say the point is maybe a fair result."

"If you look at a longer distance in the last six games we have had five wins and one draw.

"Overall I am disappointed that we haven't won the game, but if you look at the recent period as a block it can happen that in six games you can drop points."

"But we have shown character today because we were a bit on the ropes and we responded. Every time we have a disappointment I feel we respond well in the game after.

"When you look at the results again today you see Villa-City was 0-0, Liverpool lost and we played 1-1. It just shows you that the championship will be extremely difficult for everybody.

"The mental qualities can have a big influence in the future and I think we need these qualities."
