"We didn't play a good game, Sunderland played a fantastic game with fighting spirit, more mentality and we didn't show this kind of mentality.
"Our performance was poor, but we have to know that in football it can happen if you don't use your best mentality.
"But we are able to come back if we stay focused on our job and it will be just one day poor.
"One month ago I said the difficulty would arrive. The difficulty has arrived and now we have to come back in our training sessions to stay more in focus, play better than today.
"It is difficult now, we have to look in the next days and have a meeting about this to look at what happened.
"Sometimes we had some players out in the past, some important players and the team played well. Today was different. We were not able to play our football.
"It is strong enough. We are top of the table, not happy obviously for today and we have to play with a different mentality."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
