In assessing the overall performance, the German tactician was delighted with how his side performed. However, the 55-year-old admitted that Fulham could have easily drawn level in the second half and challenged his players to improve even further.
“Very happy. Super strong opponent. I can’t respect any more what Marco [Silva] is doing there,” he added. “I thought we controlled big parts of the game in the first half but in the second half it opened up.
“[They are] a really good team and it was tricky until the end. Five games in a row is good. I liked it a lot. They had a big chance so could have scored. We had moments in the first half we should have scored. That’s how it is, you have to create.
“I saw big fight, really good spirit and the boys who came on were flying into the challenges. Of course we can control the game in these moments better but we can improve. We have played much worse in the past.”
