"That performance is what we expected. We didn't concede a goal but scored four. We could have scored maybe a few more. But the most important thing was to respond quickly in a convincing way, and that's what we did.
"We were focused, and I was happy with the attitude. Maybe we were too tense at the start of the game. But we were focused, and at this level that is vital. On Saturday we were caught by our lack of focus. The team is maturing.
"There is big potential in the side. But we want to be intelligent, and in the end you measure that by how well we do together. It's difficult to measure our best performance of the season, but this was maybe our most complete performance.
"This is half the response I want. The other half comes on Saturday against Sunderland. I expect to win the group after this."
"Hull was part of a learning process. Perhaps at 1-0 up we thought the hard work was done. Maybe the fact we had never played against them before meant we hadn't experienced the difficulty of playing them."
"I was tempted to make more than one change but I didn't want to give the feeling that I was punishing one player more than another. I wanted to give the team the chance to respond quickly.
"I brought in Nasri, who is a more natural left-sided wide player than Eboue. That's why Eboue didn't play. It was not to punish anyone; it was because we needed to respond quickly as a team."
