"But maybe at this point the teams we're playing against are also planning for him, to try and make his time on the pitch a little difficult. "In the second half it was quite the same, we had a few promising moments and box entries into their final third but our composure inside the box let us down and so it wasn't meant to be and we learn from this experience and move onto the next game."
