Barrett : “It is clear that concentration and mentality were the key to this game. It was a difficult match, but we gave everything for more than 90 minutes and I’m very proud of the team. We didn’t have many chances. We came here for the three points, but one point is always better than zero. We will now rest and start once more in January”.
Vanhaezebrouck : “Our first half was the worst, for fifteen minutes we didn’t show anything, but we should have scored anyway. I asked them at half-time to take more initiatives. We then settled into their camp, while Standard practically did not leave. We often had the ball, but we weren’t dangerous enough. The terrain wasn’t ideal either, but that’s no excuse. Standard was well grouped behind with a tight defense and they leave here without cashing, we have to congratulate them for that”.

Share “We can say that this draw is a small victory for us. I saw a lot of energy and desire from the players, I’m very proud of them. Sometimes you have to suffer and they did. If I had been told before the match that it was going to end in a 0-0, I would have signed with both hands. This is an important point. We stay in contact with the top 4 and that’s positive. We now have two weeks off, the next match will be at home once morest Saint-Trond, we will have to offer something else offensively”.
