Postecoglou, who suffered a shocking defeat, said "We should have finished, and we had plenty of chances to do so"I think the players were a little complacent at that moment. Always be careful when this is the case."

He said "I think the players just thought it would end naturally, and we paid the price harshly. There needs to be improvement."

Postecoglou was the head coach of Nottingham Forest following Nunu Espiritu Santo. He's giving this team his own color, but it still looks like he needs to adapt.

Coach Postecoglou said, `Today was a chance for us to take a good opportunity to advance to the Cup and set the stage for success, but it's hugely disappointing to miss that.' `Nothing changes. I understand what we need to improve" he insisted.

The positive point is that the game was good before the upset loss. Coach Postecoglou's unique offensive football is applied to the team.

Postecoglou said "We should have finished much better. You may see a positive point in the performance of some players, but in the end, the important thing is that we were eliminated from the competition that we really had to advance into," he said. "Some players showed good performance, but all that disappears in front of the fact that they missed the opportunity to advance."
