THIERRY HENRY
"We have to learn as fast as possible how to deal with different moments. We saw a Philadelphia team that only played the long ball. We managed to come back to the score. Logically, we could have got the draw. The team didn't give up."
LUIS BINKS
"We deserved at least the draw. We had two big chances in the second half. We made it hard for ourselves to get something out of the game. It's never easy to transition from a back four to a back five but that is part of football. One minute you play with someone, the next there is an injury or something else. We know how each other play. I think Columbus and Philadelphia are very good teams in our league. Today we played well but we weren't good enough in the final third and in our own box."
SAMUEL PIETTE
"I think that opportunism is what made the difference tonight. We had chances in the second half. I think that they had two chances in the entire game and they scored. We pushed until the end, but little things made the difference. We have to watch tonight's game and analyze what we did right and wrong. There were some good things tonight. Now, we only have two days to get ready for New England and it will be a very important game."
