Conceding so early in the second half was a “gift” according to coach Lucien Favre. After the goal, his team played in fits and starts.

… On the loss of shape in the second half: 

We played well in the first half, enjoyed a few chances and defended well. Conceding a minute into the second half is a gift. We shouldn't try and pass the ball there, but rather should hit it long because the opponent is already pushing up to press. We lost the ball and that is exactly what they wanted. The cross came over immediately and led to the opening goal. After that we sometimes played too hastily. 

... On a run of four games without a win:

I'm not at all worried. That's part of the game. You have periods when it's tough and things don't go your way. A point in Frankfurt is okay and drawing 3-3 after leading 3-0 is also part of the game. We have to analyse all this, working harder in order to prevent and correct our mistakes.

... On the missing players in London:

(Marco) Reus and (Manuel) Akanji will not be available. I cannot give any information on the others yet. (br)
