FC DALLAS POSTGAME QUOTES

Head coach Eric Quill

On the game...

"We started pretty bright, and then the first goal was off of our mistake in the build, it changed the game. We were actually growing, I thought, before that moment, and that's unfortunate, that's what mistakes do. But I thought there was a good hustle to us and energy. And then, like I said, the mistakes led to the game flipping on its head, and the crowd got into it, so the momentum changed in their favor. And that's what you don't want to do here. And we never really regained in that first half a bit of confidence that we needed to enter the second half with. But I thought in the second half we made some changes and created a little bit, but not enough. For me, on the night we were pretty flat with the ball, and not a lot of high level chance creation. They worked hard. I can't fault the effort for the guys, they worked hard. They fought. And we just didn't keep the ball and move them around enough to develop quality chances."

On Maarten Paes' performance...

"I hope it gives him a lot of confidence. He was called upon a lot tonight, and not that we want that, but he stepped up and made some huge saves. Keepers are like nines, it's like when they come up with big saves, it gives them a lot of confidence, and that's what we need, because, you know, we're not going to give up nothing in games. So hopefully tonight's game gives him a lift and gives him some consistency and high performance like we need. We got to put this one behind us fast and move on to the next."

Midfielder Sebastian Lletget

General thoughts on the match...

"I feel we got outplayed. We tried to execute our game plan that we were working on and we came up short. We are low in confidence, and we know what situation we are in. It is tough. We got to turn it around and focus on San Jose ahead of Wednesday night."

On the next match...

"We just have to turn the page, and give ourselves 24 hours to digest what happened. It's like alright, we have to turn it around and focus on the next game. We know we have to do to turn this around."
