''The substitutions gave us a sense of vigour,'' said Lucien Favre after the hard fought home win over Eintracht Frankfurt: ''They were a tough team to play against.''

Lucien Favre on the run of play:
''There were a tough team to play against. The lead we took in the first half wasn't entirely undeserved but we were a bit lucky nonetheless. Although we controlled the match I wouldn't say we dominated it. In the second half we were really eager to get the score to 2-0 as soon as possible, but we had a lot of trouble keeping the ball and controlling the match against the opposition's pressing game. We lost patience and that's what cost us our 1-0 lead. The substitutions gave us a sense of vigour. The goal which took the score to 2-1 was a really nice, well worked goal. That's when the team was firing once more. We're really happy with the win.''

...on the upcoming match in Bruges:
''We're straight back in action on Tuesday. There's a lot to improve on. Our team play needs time. We need to do a better job when put under a lot of pressure. We had a lot of problems competing for the ball - in the air, on the ground, in one on one situations. Our goal is to have more ball possession.''  

...on Paco Alcacer:

''He hasn't played all that much recently. He needs time to get to full fitness. We're not sure exactly what happened, but at the end of the match he unfortunately felt some pain on the back of his ankle.'' (cr)
