What they Said
"The Premier League is the first priority we have each year, but playing in Europe gives us a lot of possibilities to develop as a club and getting prestige for us. It is amazing for the supporters too, how we enjoyed it in Bologna with the huge atmosphere.
"For different circumstances, they are not getting the points they deserve, but they are the same team and the same players; they are only changing their coaches. Pereira is a very good coach who has a lot of experience. A lot of things make us respect the match on Sunday."
Unai Emery pre-match.
"He worked [against Bologna]] like he has all season; maybe he needs others to get the numbers. I am happy with him, because he has been consistent in doing his task."
Unai Emery on Ollie Watkins.
"When he [Youri Tielemans] is available, he is performing like he did last year. So, so consistent and intelligent. His teammates feel confident playing with him, and he gets his responsibility strongly."
Unai Emery on Youri Tielemans.
"I have no idea what happened. I noticed that Emi [Martinez] went inside, and the goalkeeper coach came to me and told me to prepare for the game. So 25 minutes before [kick-off].
"We came here for a win, of course, we tried everything in our power to take a win, but unfortunately, we ended up with one point. It's not enough.
"We had the options to score a second goal, but it needed to go in. We should have taken three points today."
Marco Bizot, post-match.
"He was feeling something in his calf and was not feeling comfortable to play. My only focus is on trying to have a good response [to the late change]."
Unai Emery on Emiliano Martinez.
"I am happy with how we played, how we competed and followed the game plan. The players feel confident and comfortable. How we managed the match in 90 minutes like we planned.
"I am so proud of how the players did. Of course, we had three or four chances to score, and we conceded the momentum to them a few times. One point is not enough, but this is the way we want to play in the next weeks in the Premier League and the Europa League.
"I like when we are creating chances & dominating and having good possession. Of course, if we are scoring, it is better. But we are getting better again, the last three or four matches. We must be so demanding and consistent to keep it for the next matches."
"Three months we were fantastic, then we struggled, now we are recovering. It's important for the players to have momentum. Today, how we kept the level of the last matches, is the most relevant for our confidence."
"Marco [Bizot] played a fantastic match. When we have needed him before, we needed him. He was always ready. Today he did it fantastic."
Unai Emery, post-match.
"He was feeling yesterday not very good with some pain. It was the reason he was not in the team today."
Unai Emery on Tyrone Mings.
"He's doing a fantastic season. He is part of everything offensively because of his quality and attitude. Sometimes he needs some rest because he is playing and playing and playing. Today he did a fantastic job and match.
"He's focused. He's been here with us for two years, and he knows how he's getting his progress and how we need him playing in different positions."
Unai Emery on Morgan Rogers.
