"It took it out of us emotionally more than physically maybe. It is difficult to be on a high three days later but we still had the opportunities.
"Ramsey in the first half had two great chances and Gervinho had a great chance. In a game like that you expect to take one of those chances."
"It was a game where we were still physically not the strongest and Marseille started stronger but I still feel in the first half we had chances to win the game."
"You have to give credit to Marseille, they defended very well and stopped us from playing. The positives are that we didn't concede a goal and Marseille had one shot on target and we know in the final third we can do better."
"Van Persie had a great chance when he came on and he tried to chip the keeper. We have to accept that but overall I believe that you cannot just say that one player always makes the difference."
"It is not all perfect but we have rebuilt the back four. Vermaelen had a good game and Mertesacker was solid tonight, Santos as well and Jenkinson has just come back - he lacks experience in some situations but overall he did all right."
