Disappointing Result
"We've still got a chance but we've made it difficult for ourselves. We had some good chances but lacked that composure to finish them off.
"It was a game of marvellous quality and every player on the pitch had to produce a level of performance of a very high standard."
Surprised By Milan's Attacking Threat?
"I think Milan felt tonight's game was their best chance because I think they're worried about us at their own ground.
"The time at which they scored the goal was the least effective they'd been in the game. But we didn't close Seedorf down when he took the shot and it cost us badly."
Crespo Goal A Hammer Blow
"I thought we got them a bit hemmed in around the edge of their box in the second half and they started to make some mistakes and give possession away for the first time in the match.
"That was just at the point that we were ready to bring on Louis Saha and Mikael Silvestre because I felt that was the opportunity for us to drive on. But they went up the other end and scored."
Good To See Ruud Back
"His time on the pitch tonight can only help him. He'll play on Saturday [against Portsmouth] and the more football he gets before the second leg the better."
Second Leg Showdown
"We've shown in the past that we're capable of getting results in Italy and hopefully we can do so again.
"We always attack but we have to make sure we don't make mistakes. I think we can give them a hard time over there and if we score then the tie changes."
