Frank Baumann: “Our worries have certainly increased. We had planned to do much more, but today it wasn’t enough in all aspects. Our commitment, doggedness, final ball, grit going forwards – it was all missing. After today’s performance, I don’t have the impression every player has understood our current position. We can’t ignore that, we’ll act upon it and observe who is still worthy of wearing the Werder jersey.”
Alexander Nouri: “We’re extremely disappointed; the way we played today was unsatisfactory. If you’re at your own stadium and lose to a counterattack, you haven’t done enough. After, you have to change the situation and force your luck – we didn’t do that. We’ll now look at ourselves critically and shoulder the responsibility together.”
Niklas Moisander: “The result is very disappointing for us. We all knew how important the game was and we really wanted to win. On the pitch we were missing little things. We weren’t able to perform over the whole 90 minutes and that’s not enough to win.”
Felix Wiedwald: “The loss is extremely bitter. Mönchengladbach are certainly not the easiest opponents to play against and our game was okay for parts in the second half, but we could have played for another 90 minutes and the ball probably wouldn’t have gone in.”
