Favre: “We should never lose it"

Frustration must dominate this evening...

On the balance of the game, we should never lose it. In terms of our play, we were alright, even though we were hit on a couple of counters. We had chances before they scored, but we couldn’t put it away. On the whole, it wasn’t bad until then. The team reacted magnificently after that. We scored two good goals, from nice moves, and then…

The penalty changes everything...

We couldn’t see anything from the bench, and I haven’t looked at the replays yet. If there is really nothing as everyone seems to be saying, it is starting to get a bit much now… Against Metz, the red card is harsh, against Toulouse, there is 100% a penalty on Makengo and we didn’t get it. What’s sure is that it changes games. It gives a boost to a side. However, we need to not fall into that. We need to do better.

Be it a deserved 2-2 or not, we can get annoyed, but we need to know how to avoid the third goal. There is a bit of a lapse of concentration there. We deserved to win, we could have got a point, and we leave without a point. We are very disappointed, because we had the game in our hands and then there is nothing left at the end.

How were your players after the match?

It’s tough to accept for everybody. If we put the result to one side, there was some good link-up play. We lack certain things, however, sometimes it’s not enough. Three consecutive defeats, it’s tough. we need to bounce back quickly. When we had our run, I repeated that it was coming down to very little. Now, we need to go and find that 10% which makes the difference.
