Erik, individual performances today were quite good, but you’re still well in the bottom half of the table – you haven’t won for five matches. Do those things matter when you’re speaking with the owners? There’s obviously a lot of external noise. What’s the feeling like inside the club?
“I think, Simon, you said it very good: external noise. Internal? We are disappointed and we know we have to do better. Especially, we need to score more because that is, in this moment, the area after this block of games where we are really short. All the other areas, I think we are doing really well: four clean sheets, so that tells something about the defending, organisation. Also the defending of defensive transitions, we are doing really well, so we are really improving on that point. Our build-up play is good, we are calm, composed. We are creating the chances, apart from today. Today we should create more. But, yeah, in that area, in the box of the opponent, we have to be more ruthless, more clinical, more killing, and we have to work on this.”
So you feel the ownership are solidly behind you?
“I don’t have any idea that is different, because they should have told me. We communicate very open, very transparent.”
