"We cannot accept that, especially at the beginning of the game. We didn't fight at this moment. Once it was 3-0 after nine minutes, the game is really different.

"Especially in the way we don't understand in which context we were. In this kind of game you need different ingredients. It's my fault because I am the coach, I gave the angle to the players. I gave the motivation. I prepare the situations. We played so badly. It's my fault.

"I don't want to speak really individually or thinking about details. I have to analyse what's happened to take a decision.

"At this moment, once the score is [large difference], it's easier to play. It's about bravery. We have to deal with these things from the beginning of the game."

On his message to the fans: "I'm really sorry because we didn't give them what they deserved. I apologise because we are not Palace today."
