Florian Kohfeldt: “I have mixed feelings about the game. I don’t normally get angry but the goal really annoyed me. We were outstanding in the first half an hour of the game and we had some good chances in the second half, but then we started to sit back. We then started to attack again to try extend our lead, but we need to learn for next time. It was a tough lesson and I feel for the boys.”
Davy Klaassen: “The draw feels like a defeat. We were the better team and should have won the game, but we just didn’t take our chances. We weren’t great in the final third. We had five or six good chances that we didn’t take. We need to be a lot better, we lost the ball too often and we gave them too much room.”
Maximilian Eggestein: “We played well in the first half. We seemed to lose something after half time and we gave them too much room. It’s a shame that the game panned out the way it did, but we should have finished it off ourselves. It doesn’t affect our aims for this season.”
Nuri Sahin: “It’s really tough to take. We went in front and should have kicked on from there. We didn’t do that and that’s where the problem started. We were living life on the edge at the end and you’re punished for that in the Bundesliga. We have to learn from games like this and be better next week.”
Frank Baumann: “We’re obviously very disappointed, especially after leading for so long. Being at home in the Weserstadion, we wanted to get all three points. The game changed – Nürnberg came to life in the second half. In comparison we switched off in the second half, we didn’t control the game well and we weren’t clever enough. We didn’t assert ourselves on the ball as much and it’s the little things like that that decide the game. It’s a process for us, and we’ll start to play well over a period of time. We didn’t defend well for their equaliser at all. Last week we got a taste of what it feels like to score in the last minute, today we were on the other end.”
