From the Gymnastic Club Stadium in Cyprus – podcast #256

Athletic Club Omonia Nicosia 2 v Manchester United 3. Erik ten Hag’s reaction : “I think we started well, couple of chances and then an unnecessary mistake. It cannot happen – you have to take responsibility there. Then a really bad 10 minutes and we have to learn from that. “We were too static and you have to make opposite movements to get behind. That’s why we also made two subs and they had an impact.

“I think the subs really had an impact today and that is really good to make the team stronger. On Martial: “We have already seen in pre-season. It was big disappointment for this team and for me when he got injured. We missed him and that also had an effect on our performance.”

Neil Lennon’s reaction : “We rode our luck. It was a great game and we kept ourselves in the game, whether it be good goalkeeping or United missing good chances. To score two goals against them is probably more than I could have imagined. “I don’t think, until we scored, we believed in ourselves really, but it gave us something to hold onto. The third goal killed us and on the balance of play United thoroughly deserved to win.

“The second goal, we were too open, and that was at a crucial point in the game. Bruno then misses a great chance to get us back in it. When you’re feeding off scraps you’ve got to make them count. “There’s things we could do better but the gulf between the teams is huge. But we’ve made a game of it and to get two goals is fantastic.”

It wasn’t a routine win in Europe for United because of the poor defensive mistakes that happened for both their goals. Plus we didn’t take our chances when we had them, but for the most part is was a decent enough display of keep ball and chances were created. Just need to be more clinical next time and get the game won early. On to a bloody 7pm KO Sunday night now!
