Asked whether Champions League may be out of reach now the manager added:
“I think because we lost today I had set my target and I knew where I felt we had to go that defeat might be costly for us. But you never know in football so I might be saying something different in time it is only my judgment. We had a good win at Burnley and I knew that we couldn’t afford a defeat. Overall we beat at Goodison and they beat us today so the games have been pretty tight, but I think overall we did not deserve to lose the game today.”
