“No, we played a different Aston Villa that night,” he said on Friday. “Of course we have to put things right, that’s clear. You cannot put a game like this to one side immediately, that’s not possible. We had to work with it. A lot of things showed us in that game which were a problem that day, some of the problems we had before, some of the problems we never had before. Things like this should not happen but it happened to us,” he added. “It was a strange game. I have the game in my mind and which way I will use it I am not sure yet.”
