After the scoreless draw against KV Mechelen, coach Deila was nevertheless somewhat disappointed with his team's performance.

"I think the first half just wasn't good enough," the coach began his analysis. "Especially offensively, we had too many players who were too wide and not participating enough in the game itself to switch to the middle of the field. We played too simple instead of challenging them more and we created too little. We did have good control of the game and I don't think they created much either. In the last 25 minutes of the game, partly because of the substitutions, we had some more goal chances. However, too few to take the win to us. We need to create more than we did today to know we can win the game."
Defensively, Club was in good shape again. "That is indeed the positive of today and we have to take that with us. One point is obviously more important than no points, but we can do better than this. We need to put a bit more risk in our attacking play, as we did in the second half. In addition, the pressure in the first half was also a little too little, i.e. half-half and that was a little better in the second half. The attitude is good, so it's not about that. It's about positioning and daring to play more soccer through the center."
Blauw-Zwart was also unlucky in finishing, including a goal disallowed for offside. "I haven't seen the footage yet, but I was told it wasn't offside. If we can't distinguish offside anymore, we shouldn't have VAR either. If one drew the line on the footage, it seemed offside," concluded a somewhat disappointed Ronny Deila (TM).
