Bilic lifts Randolph pressure with post match verdict
But he refused to blame cock-up goalkeeper Darren Randolph declaring: ““It was a well taken goal from Borini and OK, you expect to clear the ball, but with our goalkeeper in that position, the ball dropped and unfortunately he couldn’t hold it.
“We aren’t pointing fingers. We are winning, losing, scoring and conceding goals as a team. We do it all as a team.”
He added: “We were looking for three points and when you concede goals in that manner – for both of them – they are strange goals and you’re disappointed.”
Discussing the game in more general terms he added: “We are disappointed because we were leading twice and after we scored both times, we were in charge and played some good football
“It was a fair result today. Three would have been brilliant but at this stage of the season, a point can be very, very important for us.
He explained: “We tried to win the game today and we got a point so we have a chance next game to get to that magic points number of 40 and we will try to win it,” he continued.
“Today, after we scored the first one, we got nervous and then we had a good spell, but again after the second goal, it was us around the box.
“But we couldn’t finish them, and they started to throw the bodies up front, playing risky football because they were losing.
“Of course when that happens, you expect a job to do in your box but they were also leaving a lot space in behind and we couldn’t finish them off.”
