We had our chances and we didn't take them. I've never felt alone here, not one minute.16:07Ian DoyleSlot on GalatasarayIf there's any impact between playing home or away we have to show tomorrow.History and this season has shown we are stronger at home than away.We completed deserve to be in this round, we beat Real Madrid here, Atletico here, Inter and Marseille (away).We can look at the goal we conceded v Spurs and think everything is going against us, or think we deserve to be in this round.We are working extremely hard to make sure the details are in our favour and not in favour of Galatasaray like last time.16:05Ian DoyleSlot on things he's done wrongI did something wrong with the team when we won the league and some things which I did wrong in hindsight.All the decisions I've made are to help the team win.16:04Ian DoyleSlot on fans being restlessIt's never nice they are frustrated as fans aren't frustrated after you win.



The good thing is we play at home and have support of our fans.What I liked after we conceded the 1-1 the players showed immediately the commitment they had, they sprinted back to stop a Tottenham counter and then sprinted forward on a counter.There haven't been many games where we have been outworked or not created as many chances as the opposition.I'm 100% sure our fans will be as they always were especially on a European night.16:01Ian DoyleSlot on Isak and GomezAlex is not available and Joe we will decide tomorrow. But the pressure is big on all of us at the moment as the results aren't there.He is facing a lot more scrutiny than he did last year and so are some of hte players.15:37Ian DoyleRobertson on pivotal gameWe believe this squad is good enough to be in last eight of Champions League but we have to show it.We didn't show it enough last week, we struggled all over the pitch and the performance level has to go up.In the Champions League we've had good performances and we have to show that again.It's a massive game as it's the next game, but it's massive because we believe we can get through the tie.It's up to all of us to produce a performance and send the fans home happier.15:35Ian DoyleRobertson on winning two trophies maybeWith trophies, even when we were in amazing moments in 18/19 and 19/20, we didn't look too far ahead.We have dreams of winning trophies but we only focus on the game ahead.That's always the way we have worked.

In my time here there's only been one season we weren't in it, and let's hope that isn't the case this season.15:34Ian DoyleRobertson on fans getting restlessI don't think we are concerned about that. I've been so lucky to have so many in my time here and I don't think tomorrow night will be any different.But we have to give them something to cheer.15:33Ian DoyleRobertson on lack of consistencyWe are all frustrated we can't find consistency because last season that's what set us apart.It's hard to put the finger on why.We are all working towards it but for whatever reason we haven't found it yet.But we can't give up trying.
