What they Said
"It is terrific [our position]. Finding out the teams we were going to play, we knew it would be difficult. We are a team that believes in ourselves, especially with the manager we have.
"He has put so much confidence into us. Going into every game, we were confident we were going to win, no matter who we were up against.
"I wouldn't say it is a surprise [we are up there]. We are great team and I think we have proven it. Long may we continue doing that."
Ezri Konsa
"They have experienced players as a club in Europe. We have to try to reach our target as a club in Europe.
"Kamara, Lucas Duigne and Tielemans have played here. I have played here two times. I know they will be very motivated. It is not a big stadium with the crowd but it is a special stadium. We will try to show our best to win the match.
"It is difficult to respond to this question. I am very happy with Jhon Duran and we are coping more or less with playing how many games in one week.
"Here is a key moment if we want to be in the top eight. I think we will be there if we win today but losing could make it complicated. Monaco can be very competitive and have experience in Europe.
"I know it is very difficult to play here and they will be very motivated. It is a special stadium and I like to play here. It is how we can manage our wishes and desires to do our best to win the match.
Unai Emery, pre-match.
โWe lost. It was my mistake. I made a mistake when I decided to play with two strikers and we lost the positioning. Because until the moment, we were more or less controlling of the game."
Unai Emery post match.
"It wasn't a good night, there's not a person here who feels good about that - the fans have travelled a long way. We will go again. In the big moments we came out on the wrong side of them.
We will certainly take the positives that came from the game but we have to be better. We have to try to stay balanced and be the same if we won when we lose. We need a consistent mood and attitude.
"No excuses. I gave a poor ball away leading to the corner, we didn't defend the corner very well. We couldn't get back in the game and couldn't take the chances we had. That is the fine margins. We were just not good enough.
"Frustrating. Football's a very simple game, & we weren't good enough. Definitely wasn't a lack of effort, no excuses, I gave a poor ball away & didn't defend corner v well. Couldn't take our chances, and that's fine margins of football. We absolutely have to be better."
Tyrone Mings.
