Ange Postecoglou on the impact that Lucas Bergvall had on the game...
"Lucas was great. He has been great but he has played a lot and we've just got to be mindful of that. He's becoming an important part of our team. I thought he made a real big impact when he came on. Like I said we were sloppy when we were on the ball in the first half and he’s one who takes a bit more care with it. He's a technician and he carries the ball really well. I thought he and Sonny made a really good impact when they came on."

Ange Postecoglou on Cristian Romero looking rusty...
"Not surprised, he hasn’t played for a very long time. He's hardly played this year to be fair. Cuti will be disappointed with that himself but at the same time what was much more important for me was how grew into his game, his defensive work, his aerial ability. I mean he was on the end of almost every cross they put into the box from corners and I think for him he will feel a lot better just having played. The idea was only to play 45 today, but he was keen to stay on for a bit longer and you could see he grew into the game and was really important for us."

Ange Postecoglou on the performance...
"As I said, it was a chaotic game, not a lot of control from our perspective, which is not ideal for the way we want to play. We looked nervous, we looked anxious, especially in the first half, but within that context, to come back from two-nil down, I think the positives of that is the lads showed a really strong mindset to to get something out of the game, which to be fair, that's probably what's been missing this year. I think there's a lot of games we've lost where games have just petered out and if we had turned more of those single-goal defeats into draws like we did today, we’d be in a better position in the league."

Ange Postecoglou on 15 League defeats this season and a message to the fans...
"I get their disappointment. It's unacceptable to see 15 league defeats. It's nowhere near good enough, nowhere near the level we need to be and I understand the supporters' frustrations with that. Today wasn't so much about performance, it was just another day when we let a game get away from us that we shouldn't have. We weren't played off the park and I felt that up until the point they scored, we were the team that was getting on top. We had a couple of good chances to go 1-0 up and that would have put the pressure on them but it's happened too many times this year. We've given the opposition a lift into the game by conceding soft goals."

Ange Postecoglou on he is having problems getting through to Yves Bissouma...
"It's not about getting through to him or a lack of effort. I just think with players sometimes they go through these spells and he needs to find a way to break through that and we need to find a way to get that out of him."

Ange Postecoglou on Yves Bissouma...
"I just feel Biss can sometimes let the game drift by him. He needs to be a little bit more dominant in the way he gets on the ball. At times I think the game gets away from him and today we needed more in that position. I needed him to play though, because he hasn't played a lot. At the same time you've got to perform. It's fair to say, Biss and a few others are probably lacking a bit of confidence. That's affecting him but we're at the point of the season now where we need guys to get out there and put those things to one side and perform."
