In the wake of the first Bundesliga loss of the season, Marco Reus bemoaned the lack of desire and Roman Bürki lamented the absence of passion. Coach Lucien Favre was concerned about the personnel situation at centre-back for the next match. Here are the first reactions from Düsseldorf.

Marco Reus: "Today we were lacking the desire to win the match. We knew beforehand that Düsseldorf would largely resort to counter-attacks. And that's what happened. We made a stupid mistake in our build-up play, losing the ball, and then Düsseldorf played a long ball and scored the goal. Thereafter it was almost like running into a wall. We subsequently conceded the second from a wonder effort and were completely chasing the game. All in all, we deserved to lose because we didn't invest enough. Our opponents have been making our life more difficult recently because they've sat deeper and kept the space tighter. We need to learn from that. We need to play with more purpose and desire, wait for our chance and take it. Today it didn't work out. As always, we need to dust ourselves down and continue, we have our next opportunity on Friday. I'm sure that we'll show a very different side to ourselves then."

Lucien Favre: "They countered very well, that was probably their plan. They sat back very deep and we couldn't find the gaps. The second half was better, but then we conceded the second goal. They played well tactically. We can't avoid everything. We need to wait and see who'll be capable of playing at centre-back on Friday. Today both Akanji and Diallo went off with injuries. Zagadou is injured as well."

Roman Bürki: "We deserved to lose because we didn't invest enough. There wasn't enough passion. When you look at the way Düsseldorf performed here, you have to say that they created chances and, as you would expect, played a counter-attacking game. That's how we conceded the first goal. We had too few attempts on goal to pose a threat."
